**the righteous man from the east**
The reference here seems to be to Cyrus, whose victories and rapid growth in power are here ascribed to the providence of God. [Isaiah 41:5-7](../../../kjv/isaiah/41/5-7) describe the effect upon the nations of the rise of the Persian power. They heartened each other, and made ([Isaiah 41:7](../../../kjv/isaiah/41/7)) new idols. At verse 8 the prophet addresses Israel. Since it was their God who raised up Cyrus, they should expect good, not evil, from him ([Isaiah 41:8-20](../../../kjv/isaiah/41/8-20)). [Isaiah 41:21-24](../../../kjv/isaiah/41/21-24) form a contemptuous challenge to the idols in whom the nations are trusting.

**servant**
Three servants of Jehovah are mentioned in Isaiah:
(1) David [Isaiah 37:35](../../../kjv/isaiah/37/35)
(2) Israel the nation [Isaiah 41:8-16](../../../kjv/isaiah/41/8-16); [Isaiah 43:1-10](../../../kjv/isaiah/43/1-10) ; [Isaiah 44:1-8](../../../kjv/isaiah/44/1-8); [Isaiah 44:21](../../../kjv/isaiah/44/21); [Isaiah 45:4](../../../kjv/isaiah/45/4); [Isaiah 48:20](../../../kjv/isaiah/48/20)
(3) Messiah [Isaiah 42:1-12](../../../kjv/isaiah/42/1-12); [Isaiah 42:1-12](../../../kjv/isaiah/42/1-12) Is 49., entire chapter, but note especially [Isaiah 49:5-7](../../../kjv/isaiah/49/5-7); [Isaiah 49:5-7](../../../kjv/isaiah/49/5-7) where the Servant Christ restores the servant nation; [Isaiah 50:4-6](../../../kjv/isaiah/50/4-6); [Isaiah 52:13-15](../../../kjv/isaiah/52/13-15) [Isaiah 52:1-12](../../../kjv/isaiah/52/1-12). Israel the nation was a faithless servant, but restored and converted will yet thresh mountains. Against the Servant Christ no charge of unfaithfulness or failure is brought. *(See Scofield "*[Isaiah 52:1-23](../../../kjv/isaiah/52/1-23)*")* .

**redeemed**
Heb. "goel," Redemp. (Kinsman type). *(See Scofield "**")* .
