Isaiah 27

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 27:3-5

Isaiah 27:3-5. I the Lord do keep it— We have in these verses a fine testimony of the divine grace and clemency towards the church, of God's constant care and continued affection to it. This elegant period contains a declaration of God's gracious purpose toward his church, Isa 27:3 and the reason of it: the declaration of his gracious purpose, considered under the emblem of a vineyard of pure and red wine, comprehends three benefits; the care of it, the watering of it, and the protection of it,... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 27:6-8

Isaiah 27:6-8. He shall cause them, &c.— Or, In times to come, Jacob shall take root: Israel, &c. Isaiah 27:7. Hath he smitten him according to the stroke of those that smote him? &c. Isaiah 27:8. In measure, when thou didst send it [the stroke] forth, thou didst contend with her, when he blew with his stormy blast in the day of the east-wind. If God had no anger, and no other reason for chastising his people, than to purify his vineyard from hypocrites, from thorns and briars,—this... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 27:9-11

Isaiah 27:9-11. By this therefore, &c.— By this, &c.—And this shall be all the fruit of removing his sin, that he make all the stones of the altar as chalkstones beaten asunder, &c. Isaiah 27:10 because the defenced city [Babylon] shall be desolate; a mansion broken in pieces and left, &c. Nothing can more commodiously answer to a flourishing state of the church, than the purity of the doctrine and worship of that church; whereby, being freed from superstition, idolatry, and the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 27:12

Isaiah 27:12. And it shall come to pass, &c.— This verse contains the 5th attribute of that time, in which God, raising his church as it were from the dead, and purifying it from idolatry and superstition, collected together by his powerful arm the dispersed members thereof. The prophet makes use of a peculiar expression, יחבט iachbot, which we render shall beat off: It is metaphorical, and alludes not only to the beating or thrashing of wheat, but also to the beating of olives from the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 27:13

Isaiah 27:13. And it shall come to pass in that day.— Every one must observe, that the present verse is similar to that preceding, though it contains something greater and more expressive. The allusion is, probably, to the trumpets blown at the Jewish festivals; and the sense of the metaphor or emblem is, that it should come to pass that the dispersed Israelites, especially in Egypt and Assyria, should be most clearly informed and invited by some public edict or proclamation, or some other... read more
