| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Every one that is called by my name - To be called by the name of anyone, is synonymous with being regarded as his son, since a son bears the name of his father (see Isa 44:5; Isa 48:1). The expression, therefore, means here, all who were regarded as the children of God; and the promise is, that all such should be re-gathered to their own land.
For I have created him - (See the note at Isa 43:1).
For my glory - In order to show forth, and illustrate my glory. They shall be, therefore, defended and protected; and my glory shall be shown in their recovery and salvation. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
