イザヤ書 11:9-12 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 11:6-9

Messiah's kingdom, when fully realized, shall be one of perfect peace. " They shall neither hurt nor destroy in all his holy mountain." Primarily, no doubt, the passage is figurative, and points to harmony among men, who, in Messiah's kingdom, shall no longer prey one upon another (see especially Isaiah 11:9 ). But, from the highest spiritual standpoint, the figure itself becomes a reality, and it is seen that, if in the "new heavens and new earth" there is an animal creation, it will be... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 11:6-9

The intensive and extensive power of the gospel. I. THE INTENSIVE POWER OF DIVINE TRUTH . More power is needful 1. Individual instances abound of the conversion of notorious drunkards, of savage prize-fighters, of shameless courtesans, of ribald atheists, of those who were abandoned by all, and who abandoned themselves to hopeless sin, of men who were the terror of their tribe or of their district, etc. Therefore we need not and we should not despair of those who are living... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 11:9

My holy mountain . As the Jewish Church is always bound up with the "holy hill of Zion," so the Messianic one receives the designation of "the mountain of the Lord" ( Isaiah 2:3 ; Isaiah 30:29 ; Micah 4:2 ), or "the holy mountain" ( Zechariah 8:3 ). What was physically true of the type is transferred to the antitype, which is "a city set upon a hill" in a certain sense. The earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord (romp. Habakkuk 2:14 ; Joel 2:28 ; Matthew 28:1-20 ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 11:9

The Christian golden year. Isaiah's relief, from the burdens, sins, and sorrows of his times, is his anticipation of the coming days of Messiah, which were to ancient Jews their "golden year." Isaiah's visions break in on his records of evil and prophetic denunciations, and lie like pools of blue in a cloudy sky, or stand like an oasis of palm-trees in a dreary desert. The general thought of this chapter is, that when righteousness can really and fully reign, then peace will be attained. As... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 11:10

There shall he a root of Jesse . The "root" of this place is the same as the "rod" and "branch" of Isaiah 11:1 . The "rod" springs up out of a "root," and is inseparably connected with it. Which shall stand for an ensign of the people ; rather, of the peoples . The "rod" shall lift itself up, and become an ensign, seen from afar, and attracting to itself the attention of "the peoples" or "nations" generally. The Acts and Epistles show how speedily this prophecy was fulfilled. Greeks,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 11:10

The rest of Christ. "And his rest shall be glorious." This chapter commences with the full Messianic strain. "There shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse;" and the music swells, in the Hebrew rhythm of thought, into a sublime prophecy of the reign of Christ. This "root of Jesse" is to be "an ensign of the people," and "to it shall the Gentiles seek." We are thus led to understand the words, "his rest," as applying to the triumph of the Savior. I. MANY IDEAS OR FORMS OF... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 11:10

The center of attraction for the whole world. "An ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek." In prophetic form we have here expressed the truth which Messiah himself expressed when he said, "And if I be lifted up, will draw all men unto me." All humanity is figured as turning to look on the crucified One, and responding to an irresistible attraction which makes all gather round him, as armies gather about an ensign or standard, and as clans gather to the appointed meeting-place.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 11:10-12

God's mercy in bringing the Gentiles into his kingdom. In the old world, when "all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth," God sent forth a fierce destruction, and swept away the entire human race, excepting eight persons. After the Flood he promised, of his own free grace, that he would never so destroy mankind again ( Genesis 9:11-15 ). But it was open to him to have sent upon the world some other equally severe visitation, and to have once more rid the earth of "a seed of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 11:10-13

THE JEWS AND GENTILES SHALL BE GATHERED TOGETHER INTO MESSIAH 'S KINGDOM . It is characteristic of "the evangelical prophet" that he dwells earnestly and frequently on the calling of the Gentiles (see Isaiah 2:2 ; Isaiah 19:22-25 ; Isaiah 25:6 ; Isaiah 27:13 , etc.). The prophecies to Abraham had repeatedly declared that "in him," or "in his seed," "all the families of the earth should be blessed" ( Genesis 12:3 ; Genesis 18:18 ; Genesis 22:18 ; Genesis... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 11:10-16

Judah and the nations. I. HONOR TO THE ROOT OF JUDAH . The scion from the ancient trunk will be honored far and wide among the heathen, because of those virtues already described in the preceding section. It will be a banner to which they will flock, a center of light and living oracles. II. REDEMPTION OF THE REMNANT . The mighty hand of Jehovah will be stretched forth to gather the scattered ones from all the four quarters of their dispersion. When the banner is... read more
