[1] {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. Verses 5-7 describe
the effect upon the nations of the rise of the Persian power. They
heartened each other, and made (v. 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 (vs. 8-20). Verses 21-24 form a
contemptuous challenge to the idols in whom the nations are trusting.

[1] {servant}
Three servants of Jehovah are mentioned in Isaiah: (1) David
# Isa 37:35
(2) Israel the nation
# Isa 41:8-16 43:1-10 44:1-8,21 45:4 48:20
(3) Messiah
# Isa 42:1-12
Is 49., entire chapter, but note especially verses 5-7,
# Isa 49:5-7
where the Servant Christ restores the servant nation;
# Isa 50:4-6 52:13-15 53:1-12
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 Isa. 42.1, note.

[1] {servant}
There is a twofold account of the Coming Servant: (1) he is represented
as weak, despised, rejected, slain: (2) and also as a mighty conqueror,
taking vengeance on the nations and restoring Israel (e.g.
# Isa 40:10 63:1-4
The former class of passages relate to the first advent, and
are fulfilled; the latter to the second advent, and are unfulfilled.

[2] {for a light of the Gentiles}
The prophets connect the Gentiles with Christ in a threefold way" (1) as
the Light He brings \\salvation\\ to the Gentiles
# Lu 2:32 Ac 13:47,48
(2) as the "Root of Jesse" He is to reign over the Gentiles in His
kingdom.
# Isa 11:10 Ro 15:12
He \\saves\\ the Gentiles, which is the distinctive feature of this
present age.
# Ro 11:17-24 Eph 2:11,12
He \\reigns\\ over the Gentiles in the kingdom-age, to follow this.
See "Kingdom (O.T.),"
# Ge 1:26-28 Zec 12:8
(3) Believing Gentiles in the present age, together with believing
Jews, constitute "the church which is His body."
# Eph 1:23
