Isaiah 41:25 Context
23Shewe the things that are to come hereafter, that wee may knowe that ye are gods: yea doe good or doe euill, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together. 24Behold, ye are of nothing, and your worke of nought: an abomination is he that chooseth you. 25I haue raised vp one from the North, and he shall come: from the rising of the Sunne shall he call vpon my name, and he shall come vpon princes as vpon morter, and as the potter treadeth clay. 26Who hath declared from the beginning, that we may know? and before time, that we may say, He is righteous? yea there is none that sheweth, yea there is none that declareth, yea there is none that heareth your words. 27The first shall say to Zion, Behold, behold them, and I will giue to Ierusalem one that bringeth good tidings.

Wesley's Notes for Isaiah 41:25
41:25 Raised - Cyrus, might be said to come from the north, because he was a Mede by his mother, as he was a Persian by his father; or because a great part of his army was gathered out of Media, which was northward, in reference to Judea, and because Darius the Mede was joined with him in this expedition. Proclaim - This Cyrus did in express, emphatical terms, #Ezra 1:1|,2. As on mortar - Treading them down, as easily as a man treads down mortar.
