Isaias 43 is a wonderful declaration of God's redeeming love: "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are mine". When you pass by waters, rivers and fire I will be with you. God goes on to ridicule powerless idols and refers to the Israelites as "my witnesses". Then God goes on to promise to deliver his people from Babylon and for this he says "I am making a way in the desert". Then the Lord says: "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!" Finally God says: "I am he who blots out your transgressions... and remember your sins no more". God's mercy is supreme.
