What Does Isaiah 44:26 Mean?
In contrast to the liars and false prophets, God 'confirmeth the word of his servant, and performeth the counsel of his messengers.' True prophecy is validated through fulfillment. God's commitment to His messengers' words demonstrates trust in their truthfulness and His own faithfulness to accomplish what He has promised.
'Thou shalt be inhabited; and to the cities of Judah, Ye shall be built, and I will raise up the decayed places thereof' is direct promise of restoration. Jerusalem and Judah's cities will recover, be rebuilt, their ruins repaired. This is God's commitment to Israel's future—not desolation but renewal.
