Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 66:18

"For I know their works and their thoughts: the time cometh, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and shall see my glory. And I will set a sign among them, and I will send such as escape of them unto the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow to Tubal and Javan, to the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the nations. And they shall bring all your brethren out of all the nations... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 66:22

"For as the new heavens and the earth which I will make, shall remain before me, saith Jehovah, so shall your seed and your name remain. And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith Jehovah. And they shall go forth and look upon the dead bodies of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 66

CHAP. LXVI. The glorious God will be served in humble sincerity: he comforteth the humble with the marvellous generation, and with the gracious benefits of the church. God's severe judgments against the wicked. The Gentiles shall have a holy church, and see the damnation of the wicked. Before Christ 698. THERE is so great an affinity between this and the former section, that the prophet preserves nearly the same order, and repeats many of the same phrases which he had made use of in the last... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 66:1-2

Isaiah 66:1-2. Thus saith the Lord, &c.— God here makes use of a sublime discourse, suitable to his Majesty, to reach the genuine sense whereof we must consider it as directed to the hypocrites, who supposed the care of the temple and sacrifice to be the principal and most acceptable part of worship in the sight of God. The words may be thus paraphrased: "Why, ye hypocrites, do ye build and adorn my temple upon earth with so much labour? If I regarded a visible temple as the place of... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 66:3

Isaiah 66:3. He that killeth an ox, &c.— God here shews, that the external ritual worship offered to him by hypocrites and wicked persons, void of faith and holiness, was no more estimable in his sight, than the material temple above spoken of; but that he was as much offended by the ritual worship of the impure, as by the most grievous crimes perpetrated against the immediate commands of the law, and particularly under the new oeconomy, after the promulgation of the law of liberty, and the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 66:5

Isaiah 66:5. Hear the word of the Lord, &c.— Hear, &c. your brethren who hated you, who cast you out, say, Jehovah shall be glorified for, of on account of, my name: but we shall see your joy, &c. Vitringa supposes that the apostles and followers of Christ, the seed of the first church, who were to constitute that spiritual temple which God had determined to build and inhabit, upon the abolition of the material temple, are here addressed, and comforted by God, on account of the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 66:7

Isaiah 66:7. Before she travailed, &c.— Another consolatory argument is here urged, to those who reverence the word of Jehovah, who form the true Sion, taken from the sudden and wonderful increase of the church among the Gentiles, superior to all human thoughts and expectation; for from the 9th and 11th verses it appears abundantly, that these words are thus connected with the context. Isaiah in the former section had done two things; first, predicted the call of the Gentiles; and then the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 66:14

Isaiah 66:14. And when ye see this, &c.— When the true believers, at the time of this distinguished mercy of God to his church, should observe his favour to them, and his punishment of their enemies, full of joy they should triumph in the salvation of Jehovah; their understanding of the divine will, their faith, hope, and all the spiritual dispositions which support their state, here metaphorically called bones, as in other places, (see ch. Isaiah 57:11.Psalms 34:21-22; Psalms 34:21-22.)... read more
