Isaiah 46:10-11

Isaiah 46:10-11

[10] Declaring  the end  from the beginning,  and from ancient times  the things that are not yet done,  saying,  My counsel  shall stand,  and I will do  all my pleasure:  [11] Calling  a ravenous bird  from the east,  the man  that executeth my counsel  from a far  country:  yea, I have spoken  it, I will also bring  it to pass; I have purposed  it, I will also do  it.

What does Isaiah 46:10-11 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

God had throughout history predicted how history would unfold, including things that had not happened previously. His revelations were in harmony with His purpose to carry out His beneficial will for humankind. Most recently He had predicted Cyrus, who would descend on Babylon like an eagle on a rabbit. His audience could count on this prediction coming to pass, because it was just the latest example of what He had done since the beginning.
