What does Isaiah 43:7 Mean?

Verse Meaning

What qualifies these people for such treatment is their relationship to Yahweh. They are called by His name and are, therefore, part of His family (cf. Deuteronomy 28:10; Jeremiah 14:9; Jeremiah 15:16; Ezekiel 36:20). Furthermore, God brought them into existence to glorify Himself (cf. Isaiah 43:1). Their condition reflects on Him, and unless He restores them they cannot fulfill His purpose for them in the world.

There are many allusions in this section to Creation, the Exodus , the Exile, and the return from exile. ^[1] However, complete fulfillment of these prophecies of restoration awaits the eschaton.

Context Summary

Isaiah 43:1-13 - Jehovah's Witnesses

The magnificent conception of Isaiah 43:1-28 underlies this. We have still the convocation of mankind, summoned to decide whether Jehovah or some idol god shall be recognized as the supreme deity. In the arena are rows of helpless images rich in paint and tinsel, but mute and helpless, Isaiah 43:8-9. Jehovah, to vindicate His claims, calls into the witness box His Chosen People, that they may tell what they have known, tasted, and handled, of the Word of life, Isaiah 43:10.

This special function is not confined to the Hebrew race. By the express words of our Lord it is shared by the Church. See Acts 5:31-32. As our Lord bore witness to truth, His subjects are summoned to do the same. See 1 Timothy 6:13-14; Revelation 1:5.

Let us witness to the love that never tires. "Fear not, thou art mine." Let us witness to a purpose that never falters, Isaiah 43:1 and Isaiah 43:7. Let us witness to a deliverance that never disappoints. We are not saved from fire and water, but are delivered in the midst of them by the never-failing presence of our King. Let us ask for the Spirit of Truth to witness with us, Acts 1:8. [source]
