以賽亞書 27:1-2 RCUVTS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 27:1-6

The prophet is here singing of judgment and mercy, I. Of judgment upon the enemies of God's church (Isa. 27:1), tribulation to those that trouble it, 2 Thess. 1:6. When the Lord comes out of his place, to punish the inhabitants of the earth (Isa. 26:21), he will be sure to punish leviathan, the dragon that is in the sea, every proud oppressing tyrant, that is the terror of the mighty, and, like the leviathan, is so fierce that none dares stir him up, and his heart as hard as a stone, and when... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 27:1

In that day the Lord with his sore and great and strong sword ,.... Meaning either the sword of the Spirit, the Word of God, quick and powerful, and sharper than a twoedged sword, Ephesians 6:17 or else some sore judgment of God: some understand it of the Medes and Persians, by whom the Lord would destroy the Babylonish monarchy; or rather it is the great power of God, or his judiciary sentence, and the execution of it, the same with the twoedged sword, which proceeds out of the mouth of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 27:2

In that day sing ye unto her ,.... The congregation of Israel, as the Targum; or rather the church of Christ; for after, and upon the destruction of his and her enemies, there will be great rejoicing and singing alternately, and by responses, as the word signifies; see Revelation 15:1 . Gussetius F12 Comment. Ebr. p. 622. renders it, "afflict her"; as if spoken by the Lord to the enemies to do their worst to her, and he would take care of her, that it shall be in vain, and to no... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 27:1

Leviathan - The animals here mentioned seem to be the crocodile, rigid by the stiffness of the backbone, so that he cannot readily turn himself when he pursues his prey; hence the easiest way of escaping from him is by making frequent and short turnings: the serpent or dragon, flexible and winding, which coils himself up in a circular form: and the sea monster, or whale. These are used allegorically, without doubt for great potentates, enemies and persecutors of the people of God: but to... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 27:2

Sing ye unto her - לה אנו anu lah . Bishop Lowth translates this, Sing ye a responsive song; and says that ענה anah , to answer, signifies occasionally to sing responsively; and that this mode of singing was frequently practiced among the ancient Hebrews. See De Poes. Sac. Hebrews Prael. xix., at the beginning. This, indeed, was the ancient method of singing in various nations. The song was divided into distinct portions, and the singers sang alternately. There is a fine specimen... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 27:1

THE TRIPLE JUDGMENT ON THE POWERS OF DARKNESS . The crowning judgment of all is now briefly described. "In that day"—the day of God's vengeance—when all his other enemies have been put down, Jehovah shall finally visit with his sword three mighty foes, which are described under three figures—the first as "Leviathan, the swift serpent;" the second as "Leviathan, the crooked serpent; "and the third as "the dragon that is in the sea." It has been usual to see in these three... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 27:1

The Lord with his sore and great and strong sword . The "sword" of Jehovah is first heard of in the Pentateuch, where it is called" glittering" ( Deuteronomy 32:41 ). It is spoken of by David ( Psalms 7:12 ), and frequently by Isaiah (see Isaiah 31:8 ; Isaiah 34:5 , Isaiah 34:6 ; Isaiah 46:1-13 :16). Mr. Cheyne supposes the idea to have been taken from the Baby-Ionian mythology, and seems to think it half material. But it is merely on a par with other anthrepomorphisms. The word... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 27:1

Spiritual wickedness in high places powerless to resist God. As Isaiah was, somehow or other, brought into contact with the dualistic doctrine of the Zoro-astrians ( Isaiah 45:5-7 ), it was important that he should bear witness to the impotency of the powers of evil when they matched themselves against Jehovah. The Zoroastrians taught that there were two great principles, one of good, and the other of evil, whom they called respectively Ahura-mazda and Angro-mainyus, who were both of them... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 27:1-11

God's treatment of the rebellious and the righteous. Amid the different and difficult interpretations and the numerous and dubious applications given to these verses, we may discern some truths respecting God's treatment of human character. I. HIS TREATMENT OF THE WICKED . 1. The sharpness of his instruments . He punishes with "a sore and great and strong sword" ( Isaiah 27:1 ) He "whets his glitter-nag sword ( Deuteronomy 32:41 ). Out of the mouth of the Son of God... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 27:1-13

In that day. We have here a general picture of the events which precede the condition of the inauguration of a new era. I. THE FIGHT WITH THE MONSTER OR MONSTERS . We cannot enter into the subject of this symbolism, in reference to which, in the absence of definite information, so much of fanciful interpretation has gathered. We cannot refer the serpent or the dragon to the storm-cloud, or lightning, as some have done; nor historically to Egypt and Assyria. Something much... read more
