• There may have been a more immediate application of verses 14 and 15 to Cyrus, who was destined to overthrow Babylon and grant a respite to the Jews, but the full and lasting fulfillment is only found in Christ, who is the Sent One of the Lord Jehovah; and that, whether we read the end of the verse as in our Authorized Version, or that the Lord God “hath sent Me and His Spirit”, as in other Versions. In John’s Gospel particularly is the Lord Jesus presented as “the Sent One”. In the Acts we have the sending of the Spirit. We may call the closing words of verse 16 a preliminary intimation of the Trinity, though the real revelation of it awaited New Testament days. (“Isaiah 48” by F.B. Hole)
