In the forty-first to the forty-fifth chapters of Isaiah, God very fully reveals His purpose for His people, and these chapters should be prayerfully studied. God does not here instruct His people to turn away from His wisdom and look to finite man for wisdom. “Remember these, O Jacob and Israel,” He declares, “for thou art My servant: ... O Israel, thou shalt not be forgotten of Me. I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto Me; for I have redeemed thee. Sing, O ye heavens; for the Lord hath done it: shout, ye lower parts of the earth: break forth into singing, ye mountains, O forest, and every tree therein: for the Lord hath redeemed Jacob, and glorified Himself in Israel.” {TM 480.1} “Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the Lord? and there is no God else beside Me.... Look unto Me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. I have sworn by Myself, the word is gone out of My mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto Me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear. Surely, shall one say, in the Lord have I righteousness and strength: even to Him shall men come; and all that are incensed against Him shall be ashamed. In the Lord shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.” {TM 480.2}

(480) Fra det en og fyrretyvende kapitel til det fem og fyrretyvende kapitel i Esajas, åbenbarer Gud til fulde sine hensigter for sit folk, og disse kapitler skulle studeres under bøn. Gud lærer ikke sit folk at de skal vende bort fra hans visdom og se på begrænsede mennesker efter visdom. »Jacob, kom dette i hu, Israel,« erklærer han, »thi du er min tjener!... ej skal du glemmes, Israel; jeg sletted som tåge din misgerning og som en sky dine synder. Vend om til mig, thi jeg genløser dig! Jubler, I himle, thi Herren greb ind, fryd jer, I jordens dybder, bryd ud i jubel, I bjerge, skoven og alle dens træer, thi Herren genløser Jakob og herliggør sig ved Israel.« »Forkynd det, kom frem dermed, lad dem rådslå sammen: Hvo kundgjorde dette tilforn, forkyndte det forud? Mon ikke jeg, som er Herren? Uden mig er der ingen Gud,.... Vend dig til mig og bliv frelst, du vide jord, thi Gud er jeg, ellers ingen; jeg svor ved mig selv, fra min mund kom sandhed, mit ord vender ikke tilbage: Hvert knæ skal bøjes for mig, hver tunge sværge mig til. »Kun hos Herren,« skal men sige, »er retfærd og styrke; til ham skal alle hans avindsmænd komme med skam.« Ved Herren når al Israels æt til sin ret og jubler.«
