Matthew Poole and continuators on Isaiah 42:9

9. Behold, the former things are come to pass and new things do I declare : before they spring forth I tell you of them .

As all things, which I have formerly promised or foretold, have exactly come to pass in their proper seasons, and not one of them failed, as was noted Iosh. 23. 14. So you have great reason to believe, that what I now promise, though it be new, and strange to you, shall infallibly be accomplished.

That when they come to pass, you may know that I am God, and that this is my Work. Compare Iohn 13. 19.
