Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 9:1
One of the marvelous characteristics of the sacred writings is their strange intermixture of prophecies for darkness and disaster, followed by the most extravagant promises of blessing, victory and salvation. The chapter before us is an example.Beginning back in Isaiah 8, there is a terrible prophecy of doom and destruction for Ephraim, especially, and involving Judah also, but not as extensively. Then there suddenly appears right here the promise of joy, light, gladness, victory and success in... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 9:8
THE GATHERING SHADOWS OVER ISRAELThe remainder of this chapter and through the first four verses of the next, the prophecy returns to the great burden of much of Isaiah, namely, the total ruin and destruction of the sinful kingdom of the chosen people."The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel. And all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria, that say in pride and stoutness of heart, The bricks are fallen, but we will build with hewn stone; the... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 9:13
"Ye the people have not turned to him that smote them, neither have they sought Jehovah of hosts. Therefore Jehovah will cut off from Israel head and tail, palm branch and rush, in one day.

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 9:18
"For wickedness burneth as the fire; it devours the briers and the thorns; yea, it kindleth in the thickets of the forest, and they roll upward in a column of smoke. Through the wrath of Jehovah of hosts is the land burnt up; and the people are as the fuel of fire: no man spareth his brother. And one shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry; and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied: they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm: Ephraim, Manasseh, and... read more

Isaiah 9:1-2. Nevertheless the dimness, &c.— The prophet having said, in the 20th verse of the preceding chapter, that they who directed not themselves according to the canon of the divine law should have no light; two things were involved in his discourse: The first, that there would be very many among the Jews, to whom the Messiah, arising with his new light, would be an offence; who would reject his salutary doctrine, and should therefore fall into the most grievous calamities, and thick... read more
