Isaiah 50

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 50:9

"Behold, the Lord Jehovah will help me; who is he that shall condemn me? behold, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up."These words are strongly suggestive of Paul's words in Romans 8:31, "If God be for us, who can be against us!""They all shall wax old as a garment ..." This is also declared to be true of the heavens themselves (Hebrews 1:10-12). If Christ shall indeed survive to see the end of the sidereal universe, infinitely less would be the chances that any of... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 50:10

"Who is among you that feareth Jehovah, that obeyeth the voice of his Servant? he that walketh in darkness and hath no light, let him trust in the name of Jehovah, and rely upon his God."This is an address to faithful believers in God of all generations, and especially to the church of our own times. We like what Jamieson said about this."God never had a son who was not sometimes in the dark, for Christ himself cried, `My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?' A godly man's way may be dark,... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 50:11

"Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that gird yourselves about with firebrands; walk ye in the flame of your fire, and among the brands that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of my hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow."Wardle summarized the meaning of Isaiah 50:10,11 thus:"Let the pious Jew hear the Servant's voice, and despite his pitiful plight trust in Jehovah. Those who kindle the flames of persecution and strife shall become the victims of their own fire, and by his doom shall lie in a... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 50

CHAP. L. Christ sheweth that the dereliction of the Jews is not to be imputed to him, by his ability to save, by his obedience in that work, and by his confidence in God's assistance. An exhortation to trust in God, and not in ourselves. Before Christ 712. read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 50:1-3

Isaiah 50:1-3. Thus saith the Lord— In the preceding period of the last chapter, a doubt respecting the great enemy of the church was removed: but another doubt exercised the afflicted church about the same time in which we have placed the scene of this prophesy: for as at that time the Jewish nation was engaged in a war with the Romans, which seemed to threaten the entire destruction of their state, the true church, among the Jews, plainly perceived from hence, that God had entirely cast off... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 50:4

Isaiah 50:4. The Lord God hath given me, &c.— The second discourse of the fifth part of this book extends to the 17th verse of the following chapter. It is divided into two sections; the former of which, in the present chapter, contains a discourse of the Messiah, both historical, or narrative, and doctrinal, by way of apostrophe, directed to the hearers. In the historical part, he relates, first, that he was appointed to the excellent office of preaching the Gospel, and was immediately... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 50:5

Isaiah 50:5. The Lord God hath opened mine ear— An open ear signifies a mind prompt and ready to receive, understand, and distinguish, the doctrines which are taught it, and to obey the commands which are carried through the ears to the mind. See chap. Isaiah 42:18. The completion of this and the following verses, in the Messiah, is too evident to need pointing out. read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 50:9

Isaiah 50:9. Lo, they all shall wax old as a garment— The simple sense of this metaphorical expression is, that all the adversaries of Christ should be abolished and done away, like a garment, which grows vile and useless by wearing, and is at length consumed by the moths. This is expressed plainly and literally, chap. Isaiah 41:11. See also Psalms 73:27. Some think that here is an allusion to the old oeconomy, which, under the dispensation of the new, was entirely to grow old and vanish away.... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 50:10

Isaiah 50:10. Who is among you that feareth the Lord— After the Messiah had prophetically described his condition among the Jews, he addresses himself to the Jewish people, who, being divided into two classes, one of believers, his disciples, the other of the rebellious, who, he foresaw, would perish in their own devices; he applies to both, but in a different manner; comforting the former in the doubtful beginnings of the new oeconomy; and foretelling to the latter the destruction which would... read more
