18. (See on
Isa 45:12).
not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited--Therefore, Judah, lying
waste during the Babylonish captivity, shall be peopled again by the
exiles. The Jews, from this passage, infer that, after the resurrection,
the earth shall be inhabited, for there can be no reason why the earth
should then exist in vain any more than now
(2Pe 3:13).
