Excerpt - Apocalyptic Commentary of the Book of Isaiah by Avraham Gileadi, Ph.D.

43:5-6 Do not fear, for I am with you. I will bring your offspring from the east and gather you from the west; I will say to the north, Give up! to the south, Withhold not!

Even though the world may live in fear of the king of Assyria/Babylon and the nations yield to panic, Jehovah's people need have no fear: "'It is I who create the smith who fans the flaming coals, forging weapons to suit his purpose; it is I who create the ravager to destroy. Whatever weapon is devised against you, it shall not succeed; every tongue that rises to accuse you, you shall refute. This is the heritage of the servants of Jehovah, and such is their vindication by me,' says Jehovah" (Isaiah 54:16-17). No matter how bleak their prospects may appear, his people have only to trust in their God.
Unlike Israel's exodus out of Egypt, the end-time exodus of Jehovah's people is from all parts of the earth: "He will raise the ensign to the nations and assemble the exiled of Israel; he will gather the scattered of Judah from the four directions of the earth" (Isaiah 11:12). Like the exodus out of Egypt, however, the end-time exodus of Jehovah's people is out of bondage, compelling the north-Assyria-to "give up"; and the south-Egypt-to "withhold not." Jehovah's servant follows the pattern of Moses, whom Jehovah chose as Israel's deliverer (Exodus 3-13; Isaiah 10:24-27; 49:9, 24-25; 63:11-14).

43:6-8 Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the end of the earth-all who are called by my name, whom I have formed, molded and wrought for my own glory. Let go the people who are blind, yet have eyes, who are deaf, yet have ears.

Those who ultimately participate in the new exodus from the four directions of the earth pertain to Isaiah's son/servant category and are identified as Jehovah's "sons" and "daughters" (Isaiah 49:22). That implies that from the time Jehovah's servant commences his ministry to the Jacob/Israel category, those who were formerly blind and deaf have, in the interim, ascended not only to the Zion/Jerusalem category but beyond that (Isaiah 29:18-19; 35:5; 42:7, 18-21). In other words, they have been re-created-"formed, molded, and wrought"-to an elect category of Jehovah's people (cf. Matthew 24:31).
Persons in Isaiah's son/servant or elect category make individual covenants with Jehovah in the pattern of King David and his heirs. Under the terms of the Davidic Covenant, they become Jehovah's vassals and saviors in their own right as was King Hezekiah. As noted, the servant's role "to open eyes that are blind" (Isaiah 42:7) involves soliciting the release of Jehovah's blind and deaf people from bondage in the pattern of Moses: "Let my people go!" (Exodus 5:1). On this occasion, however, the servant doesn't petition Pharaoh for Jacob/Israel's release but the nations who keep them captive.
