Ye are my witnesses (Isa. 43:10)
The Interpreter's Bible (IB) commentator writes: "Israel does not exist for herself. She is not first of all a great nation, a great military power, an economic force, a cultural center, or any other secular order. Her mission is to be God's witness and elected servant. She exists to fulfill his purposes and to do his will."
