The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 11:13

The envy also of Ephraim shall depart . In the kingdom of the Prince of Peace there shall no longer be quarrels or jealousies among the members.

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 11:13-16

Conditions of victory. These verses probably point to the time when all Israel shall be gathered into the fold of the gospel, and when" their fullness" shall contribute largely to the conversion of the Gentile world (see Romans 11:1-36 .). But we may take a more practical view of the subject if we regard it thus; we have pictures of— I. PRESENT SPIRITUAL ANARCHY . The people of God everywhere dispersed, the theocracy broken up, the temple destroyed, the Law unobserved, the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 11:14

They shall fly upon the shoulders of the philistines . It is not to be supposed that actual war is intended. The subjects of the Prince of Peace will not draw the sword. But the Church will for many centuries be confronted by enemies, and must contend with them with legitimate weapons. It is this warfare of which Isaiah now speaks. The united Church will be strong enough to assail her enemies on all sides, and will "swoop" upon the border country of the Philistines like a bird of prey. They... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 11:14

The Church's triumph over its enemies. The Church of God will always have its enemies, both internal and external, and its external enemies will from time to time gather their hosts, and unite themselves together, and threaten it with destruction. Great was Israel's peril, and great her fear, when her enemies "consulted together with one consent, and were confederate against her: the tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes; Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 11:14-16

THE UNITED CHURCH SHALL TRIUMPH OVER ITS ENEMIES . PHYSICAL OBSTACLES TO ITS UNION GOD WILL REMOVE . Israel's most persistent enemies had been the border-nations of the Philistines, the Edomites, the Arabs, Moab and Ammon. These are now taken as types of the enemies of the Church, and victory over them is promised ( Isaiah 11:14 ). A further promise is made that physical difficulties shall not prevent the return of the Jewish exiles from distant countries ( ... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 11:12

And he shall set up an ensign - See Isaiah 11:10. The Messiah shall stand in view of the nations, as a standard is erected by a military leader. An ensign or standard was usually lifted up on the mountains or on some elevated place (compare Isaiah 18:3); and the meaning here is, that the Messiah would be the conspicuous object around which the nations would rally.And shall assemble - This word, אסף 'âsaph, properly means, to gather, collect, to assemble together, as fruits are collected for... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 11:13

The envy also - The word “envy” here, is used in the sense of “hatred,” or the hatred which arose from the “ambition” of Ephraim, and from the “prosperity” of Judah. Ephraim here, is the name for the kingdom of Israel, or the ten tribes. The reasons of their envy and enmity toward Judah, all arising from their ambition, were the following:(1) This tribe, in connection with those which were allied to it, constituted a very large and flourishing part of the Jewish nation. They were, therefore,... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 11:14

But they shall fly - The design of this verse is, to show the rapid and certain spiritual conquests which would result from the conversion of the scattered Jewish people. The Jews understood this literally, as referring to the conquests over their enemies. But if the exposition which has been given of this chapter thus far is correct, the passage is to be interpreted as a figurative description of the triumph of the people of God under the Messiah. The “time” to which it refers, is that which... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 11:11-12

Isaiah 11:11-12. And it shall come to pass in that day As this chapter contains a general prophecy of the advancement which Christ’s kingdom should make in the world, and as this advancement was to be made by different steps and degrees, so the several parts of this prophecy may be supposed to point at different ages or periods of time: see note on Isaiah 2:2. “And, I take this part of the chapter,” says Lowth, “from Isa 11:10 onward, to foretel those glorious times of the church, which... read more

Isaiah 11:13-14. The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, &c. Ephraim here stands for the ten tribes and the prophet alludes to the great emulations and contentions which had subsisted between them and Judah: but his intention is to set forth the spiritual state of the Jews after their conversion to the faith of the gospel, which he predicts, 1st, “That all envy shall be extinguished among them, and a true brotherly love shall fill their souls; and, 2d, That, joined to the Gentiles, they... read more
