Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 26:20

Come, my people - This is an epilogue (Rosenmuller), in which the choir addresses the people, and entreats them to be tranquil during that convulsion by which their oppressors would be punished, and the way made for their deliverance. The image is taken from seeking a shelter when a storm rages, until its fury is spent. The address is to the captive Jews in Babylon. The tempest that would rage would be the wars and commotions by which Babylon was to be overthrown. While that storm raged, they... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 26:21

For, behold, the Lord cometh out of his place - That is, from heaven, which is the dwelling-place or residence of God Psalms 115:3; Ezekiel 3:12; Micah 1:3. When God executes vengeance, he is represented as coming from his abode, his dwelling-place, his capitol, as a monarch goes forth to war to destroy his foes.To punish the inhabitants of the earth - The land of Chaldea, or of Babylon.The earth also shall disclose her blood - Blood, in the Scriptures, often denotes “guilt.” The sense here is,... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 26:20-21

Isaiah 26:20-21. Come, my people, &c. These two verses are supposed not to belong to the song which takes up the preceding part of the chapter, but to be an address of the prophet to the people of God on the contents of it. Having foretold their wonderful deliverance, and the utter destruction of their enemies, lest they should suppose that these predictions would immediately begin to be fulfilled, and thereby should meet with a disappointment, which might shake their faith respecting... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 26:1-21

Final victory for the godly (26:1-27:1)Having destroyed the city built by human hands (that is, humankind’s whole ungodly way of life; 25:2), God now builds his city. It is a city for the righteous, an eternal dwelling place for those who have experienced the perfect peace that comes through complete trust in God (26:1-3). Those who trust in him have stability and security, but those who trust in themselves are overthrown. God’s city stands for ever; the world’s city is smashed to the ground... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 26:20

"Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself for a little moment, until the indignation be over-past."Lowth called this, "An exhortation to patience and resignation, with a confident expectation of deliverance by the power of God."[23] This might be an indirect reference to that night of the Passover when God's children were told to enter their houses and not to go out of them until morning (Exodus 12:22). The message is eternal, that faith is a... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 26:21

"For behold Jehovah cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity. The earth shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain."This is a clear warning of the final judgment when Adam's rebellious race (the inhabitants of the earth) shall receive their final reward. This conclusion is required by the fact of the whole earth's "disclosing her blood," that is, by God's exposing all of earth's murders, such an event being clearly scheduled for the last... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 26:20-21

Isaiah 26:20-21. Come, my people— These verses contain the conclusion wherewith the prophet, speaking in the name of God, seals and confirms the hope of the pious—delivered in the preceding verses. He exhorts them to hide themselves, and patiently to await, amid the exercises of piety and devotion, for a short time, the completion of their promised deliverance, during the rage of a terrible persecution permitted by God, for the proving and purifying of his church; assured that God would most... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 26:20

20. enter . . . chambers—When God is about to take vengeance on the ungodly, the saints shall be shut in by Him in a place of safety, as Noah and his family were in the days of the flood (Genesis 7:16), and as Israel was commanded not to go out of doors on the night of the slaying of the Egyptian first-born (Exodus 12:22; Exodus 12:23; Psalms 31:20; Psalms 83:3). The saints are calmly and confidently to await the issue (Exodus 14:13; Exodus 14:14). read more
