Matthew Poole and continuators on Isaiah 43:7

7 Even every one that is called by my name : for I have created him for my glory , I have formed him, yea, I have made him .

They are called by my Name. I own them for my People and Children; and therefore what kindness or cruelty you exercise to them, I take it as done to my self. So it is an argument to move those people to let their Captives go: Or, it is an argument to confirm the faith of Gods People, that God would deliver them, because they are his own.

And therefore I will glorify my Power and goodness, and faithfulness in delivering them.

I have not onely created them out of nothing, as I did all other people, but I have also formed and made them my peculiar People.
