Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 63:18-19

Isaiah 63:18-19. The people of thy holiness— Or, Thy holy people have possessed [the land] but for a little time, &c. Isaiah 63:19. We have been as they over whom thou never bearest rule, and upon whom thy name was not called. There is no doubt but that the calamity of the external state of the Jewish people is here described. If we compare this description with the repetition of the same calamity, Isa 63:10-11 of the next chapter, we can have no doubt that these words pertain to the state... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 63:15-19

The complaint 63:15-19Isaiah next appealed to God, on behalf of the nation, to have pity on Israel. The prophet was speaking for the faithful remnant after the exile who found little evidence that God was among them, in the way He had been during the Exodus and wilderness wanderings."Isaiah is teaching us how to pray. We don’t learn to pray by listening to one another. We learn to pray by reading the Bible." [Note: Ortlund, p. 429.] read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 63:18

The holy people that the Lord had redeemed were dispossessed following the Exile. They had possessed the temple only briefly. The first temple stood in Jerusalem from about 959-586 B.C. or approximately 374 years. Instead of God treading down Israel’s adversaries, those adversaries had trodden down the temple. read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 63:1-19

The Glorious Future of the Jewish RaceThis concluding group of chapters is chiefly distinguished by glowing pictures of the future of Jerusalem, when the Jews shall be restored to their land again. A glorious restoration is promised (Isaiah 60:1-2; Isaiah 61:4, Isa 61:10-11), all nations are tobe members of the restored city (Isa 60:3-5), the glories of which are vividly pictured (Isa 60:6), the crowning glory being the holiness of the citizens (Isa 60:21). The fulfilment of the prophet's... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 63:18

(18) The people of thy holiness . . .—Better, For a little while have they possessed thy sanctuary, or, with a various reading, thy holy mountain. The plea is addressed to Jehovah, on the ground of His promise that the inheritance was to be an everlasting one. Compared with that promise, the period of possession, from Joshua and David to the fall of the monarchy, was but as a “little while.” (Comp. Psalms 90:4.) The seeming failure of the promise was aggravated by the fact that the enemies of... read more

The glory of Zion in sight, the full programme of prophecy owned, the arrival of the Divine Saviour hailed in the urgency of His feeling for His people, in the sufficiency of His might to save them, -what more, we ask, can the prophecy have to give us? Why does it not... read more
