Isaiah52:6
6 Therefore my people shall know my name : therefore they shall know in that day , that I am he that doth speak, behold, it is I .
They shall have sensible Experience of my infinite power and goodness in fighting for them and against you: whereby they shall be able to put your blasphemous Tongues to silence.
Which word is understood from the foregoing clause, as is very frequent in Scripture.
When I shall redeem my People: which work was begun by the return of the Jews from Babylon, and afterwards carried on, and at last perfected by the coming of the Messiah.
That all these promises are not the words of a weak, or fickle, or deceitful man, but of him who is the Omnipotent, and Unchangeable, and Covenant-keeping God. Or thus, That I who have formerly spoken to you by my servants the Prophets, (for it was the Spirit of Christ which was and spake in them, 1 Pet. 1. 11▪) do now speak to you in my own person, being cloathed with flesh. Which agrees well, as with the Analogy of Faith, and with divers other Scriptures, so particularly with the next verse, and with divers following passages, which so evidently speak of the person and Kingdom of Christ, that they cannot without great force be understood of any other.
