Notes

Isaiah 43:10

You are My witnesses: By their very presence in exile, Israel was evidence that God is truly God. He predicted the exile long beforehand, and now it had come to pass. God alone is the true God because he speaks and acts and controls all of history. Idols and false gods could do none of these things. Israel would later become even greater evidence because God had also predicted their redemption (Isaiah 43:11–12).

Isaiah 43:8–13

The Lord here called on Israel, his blind servant, to be his star witness in a mock trial against idols and false gods. Israel knew that the Lord alone is God, and the people had experienced his salvation.
