Isaiah 51:10 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 51:10

Art thou not it which hath dried the sea, the waters of
the great deep
That is, the Red sea, and the deep waters of it; as it did, by causing a strong east wind to blow, which drove the sea back, and made it a dry land, in the midst of which the children of Israel walked as on dry land, ( Exodus 14:21 Exodus 14:29 ) and the same arm and mighty power can and will dry up the waters of the river Euphrates, to prepare the way of the kings of the east, ( Revelation 16:12 ) : that hath made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to pass
over?
divided the waters of the sea, made a path through them for the Israelites that were redeemed out of Egyptian bondage and slavery, to pass over, and so to go to Canaan's land.

Isaiah 51:10 In-Context

8 The moth will eat them as if they were clothing, and the worm will eat them like wool, but my righteousness is forever, and my salvation for all generations.

9 Awake, awake, put on strength, arm of the LORD. Awake as in times past, generations long ago. Aren't you the one who crushed Rahab, who pierced the dragon?

10 Didn't you dry up the sea, the waters of the great deep? And didn't you make the redeemed a road to cross through the depths of the sea, a road for the redeemed to pass?

11 Then let those ransomed by the LORD return and come to Zion with singing and with everlasting joy upon their heads. Let happiness and joy overwhelm them; let grief and groaning flee.

12 I, I am the one who comforts you. Why should you fear humans who will die, mortals who are treated like grass?
