Isaiah 41
1. God expostulates with his people, about his mercies to the church.
10. About his promises
21. And about the vanity of idols.














Behold, all who rage against you will be ashamed and disgraced;
This phrase emphasizes God's protection over His people, Israel. The term "behold" is a call to attention, indicating the importance of the message. The "rage" against Israel can be seen historically in the numerous nations that opposed them, such as the Assyrians and Babylonians. The promise that these enemies will be "ashamed and disgraced" reflects the biblical theme of divine justice, where those who oppose God's chosen people ultimately face humiliation. This is consistent with the covenantal promises found in Genesis 12:3, where God promises to bless those who bless Abraham's descendants and curse those who curse them.

those who contend with you will be reduced to nothing and will perish.
The phrase "contend with you" suggests legal or physical opposition, akin to a courtroom battle or warfare. Historically, Israel faced many adversaries, yet this promise assures them of ultimate victory. The idea of being "reduced to nothing" and perishing underscores the totality of God's judgment against those who oppose His plans. This can be connected to the eschatological themes in Revelation, where God's final victory over evil is assured. Additionally, this reflects the typology of Christ as the ultimate defender and advocate for His people, as seen in Romans 8:31, "If God is for us, who can be against us?"

Teaching Points
God's Sovereign Protection
Believers can trust in God's promise to protect and vindicate them against their adversaries. This assurance is rooted in God's unchanging nature and His covenant with His people.

The Futility of Opposing God's People
Those who oppose God's people will ultimately face shame and defeat. This serves as a reminder of the futility of resisting God's plans and purposes.

Faith in the Midst of Opposition
In times of trial and opposition, believers are encouraged to maintain their faith and trust in God's deliverance. This requires a steadfast focus on God's promises rather than the threats of adversaries.

The Assurance of God's Justice
God's justice will prevail, and those who contend with His people will be held accountable. This provides comfort and hope for believers facing injustice or persecution.(11, 12) Behold . . .--The choice of the Servant has, as its complement, the indignation of Jehovah against those who attack him, and this thought is emphasised by a four-fold iteration. "They that strive with thee, &c," represents the Hebrew idiom, the men of thy conflict, which stands emphatically at the end of each clause.

Verses 11, 12. - As Israel would grow strong through God's help, so her enemies would grow weak through God's disfavour. That enemies of all kinds may be seen to be included, the designation is four times varied - "they that are angry with thee;" "that are at strife with thee;" "that are in conflict with thee;" "that are at war with thee." The order is one of climax. Similarly, with each augmentation of the hostility there is an augmentation of the sentence of punishment - "shall be covered with shame;" "shall perish;" "shall not be found;" "shall become as nothingness."
