This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Isa_52:6 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.
Ver. 6. Therefore my people shall know my name,] sc., That I am Jehovah; {as Exo_6:3} the God of Amen, {Isa_65:16} who "will not suffer my faithfulness to fail, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my mouth." {Psa_89:33-34} And it shall therefore be so because my name - that nomen maiestativum - hath been blasphemed and vilified. God’s people fare the better for their enemies’ insolencies.
That I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I.] Or, That it is I that do speak, saying, Lo, here I am. This some understand to be the second person in the Trinity, the eternal Son of the eternal Father, called "the Word," {Joh_1:1} and there are those who give us this rule - Where the Old Testament bringeth in God appearing and speaking, we are to understand it always to be the second person. See Joh_12:37-42.
