Contextual Overview
14 Thus sayeth the Lorde your redeemer, the holy one of Israel, For your sake I haue sent to Babel, and brought it downe: they are all fugitiues, and the Chaldeans crie in the shippes. 15 I am the Lorde your holy one, the creator of Israel, your King. 16 Thus sayeth the Lord which maketh a way in the Sea, and a path in the mighty waters. 17 When hee bringeth out the charet and horse, the armie and the power lie together, and shal not rise: they are extinct, & quenched as towe. 18 Remember yee not the former things, neither regard the things of olde. 19 Behold, I do a new thing: now shal it come foorth: shall you not knowe it? I wil euen make a way in the desert, and floods in the wildernesse. 20 The wilde beastes shall honour mee, the dragons and the ostriches, because I gaue water in the desert, and floods in the wildernesse to giue drinke to my people, euen to mine elect. 21 This people haue I formed for my selfe: they shall shewe foorth my praise.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Remember ye not the former things,.... Just now referred to, the bringing of Israel out of Egypt, and through the Red sea, and the drowning of Pharaoh and his army in it; for though these things were worthy to be remembered with thankfulness and praise, and to the glory of God, and for the encouragement of faith, yet not in comparison of what was hereafter to be done; meaning, not the redemption from Babylon, unless as a type of spiritual and eternal redemption by Christ; for otherwise there were greater and more wonderful things done, when Israel were brought out of Egypt, than when they were brought out of Babylon; but the great salvation by the Messiah, which exceeds both the deliverances out of Egypt and Babylon, is meant:
neither consider the things of old; unless as figures of the new, but not to be put upon a foot with them, much less to the undervaluing of them, and indeed to be forgotten in comparison of them; see
Jeremiah 23:7. The Talmudists q, by the "former" things, understand subjection to kingdoms; and, by the "things of old", the going out of Egypt; as they do by the "new thing", in the following verse, the war of Gog and Magog.
q T. Bab. Beracot, fol. 13. 1. T. Hieros. Beracot, fol. 4. 1.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Remember ye not ... - So great and wonderful shall be God’s future interpositions in your behalf, that what he has done, great as that was, shall be comparatively forgotten.
The former things - The deliverance from Egypt, and the overthrow of his enemies there.
The things of old - The things that were formerly done.
