**CHAPTER 41**
Jehovah’s Challenge
1. *The address to the islands and the peoples ([Isaiah 41:1](../../../kjv/isaiah/41/1)* *)* 2. *Jehovah’s question, Cyrus and his ways predicted ([Isaiah 41:2-4](../../../kjv/isaiah/41/2-4)* *)* 3. *Nations troubled on account of Cyrus ([Isaiah 41:5-7](../../../kjv/isaiah/41/5-7)* *)* 4. *Israel as Jehovah’s servant ([Isaiah 41:8](../../../kjv/isaiah/41/8)* *)* 5. *The message of comfort and assurance of restoration ([Isaiah 41:9-20](../../../kjv/isaiah/41/9-20)* *)* 6. *Jehovah’s second challenge: He alone can declare things to come ([Isaiah 41:21-24](../../../kjv/isaiah/41/21-24)* *)* 7. *The future things revealed ([Isaiah 41:25-29](../../../kjv/isaiah/41/25-29)* *)* Cyrus is here mentioned for the first time, though not yet by name. He is in view in [Isaiah 41:2-3](../../../kjv/isaiah/41/2-3) and [Isaiah 41:25](../../../kjv/isaiah/41/25) . His work as a mighty conqueror is outlined and the consternation of the surrounding nations on account of it is described. [Isaiah 41:18-20](../../../kjv/isaiah/41/18-20) go beyond the times of Cyrus. They can only be fulfilled when He who is greater than Cyrus will appear.
