The entire 43rd chapter of Isaiah is written after Israel had been deported and in verse 18 God commands forgetfulness of their past: “Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.” Therefore, in Romans 11:25, Paul tells us that “Blindness in part is happened to Israel.” They did forget their history and identity. They became lost to the world and to themselves. God said that they would have a new name, instead of the old name Israel. In Isaiah 62:2 God says to them, “Thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the lord shall name.” God tells the Jews in Isaiah 65:15, “And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen: for the Lord GOD shall slay thee, and call his servants (Israel) by another name.” “And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel, and I will bless them.” (Numbers 6:27)
