Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 65:24

Before they call, I will answer - I will give them all they crave for, and more than they can desire. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 65:25

The wolf and the lamb, etc. - The glorious salvation which Jesus Christ procures is for men, and for men only: fallen spirits must still abide under the curse: "He took not on him the nature of angels, but the seed of Abraham." Shall feed together - For כאחד keechad , as one, an ancient MS. has יחדו yachdav , together; the usual word, to the same sense, but very different in the letters. The Septuagint, Syriac, and Vulgate seem to agree with the MSS. - L. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 65:17-25

A PROMISE OF NEW HEAVENS AND A NEW EARTH . The final answer of God to the complaint and prayer of his people ( Isaiah 64:1-12 .) is now given. The entire existing state of things is to pass away. God will create a new heaven and a new earth, and place his people therein; and the old conditions will be all changed, and the old grounds of complaint disappear. In the "new Jerusalem" there will be no sorrow, neither "weeping" nor "crying" ( Isaiah 65:19 ); life will be greatly... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 65:17-25

The new creation. It is difficult to harmonize the various passages of Scripture which touch on "the new creation." In one place ( Acts 3:21 ) it is called an ἀποκατάτασις , in another ( Matthew 19:23 ) a παιγγενεσία . Sometimes its scene appears to be the present world purified ( Isaiah 2:2-4 ); sometimes an entirely new world created for the habitation of God's people ( Isaiah 65:17 , Isaiah 65:18 ). Perhaps the best explanation is that of Delitzsch, that there are to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 65:17-25

The new creation. It seems that the leading thought of the prophet is the transformation of nature in harmony with the changed nature of man. Its grandeur needs not to be pointed out. Ordinarily, indeed, we think of man's dependence on nature. If the thought be pushed to its limits, it ends in materialism. Spiritual religion, on the contrary, sees in the changes of nature a human pathos; its waste and desolation the effect of human sin, of violated Divine laws; its flourishing aspect and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 65:20

There shall be no more thence an infant of days; i.e. there shall not go from the new Jerusalem into the unseen world any infant of a few days old. On the contrary, even "the youth" shall reach a hundred; i.e. one who dies when he is a hundred shall be regarded as cut off in his youth. The general rule shall be, that old men shall "fill their days," or attain to patriarchal longevity. Even the sinner, who is under the curse of God, shall not be cut off till he is a hundred. What is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 65:20

The Christian view of age. These words are not to be taken literally; they are distinctly pictorial, highly hyperbolical; they indicate a state of future blessedness, employing images most likely to be impressive and inspiring at the time of utterance. They may suggest to us the Christian aspect of old age. I. THAT CHRISTIAN LIFE TENDS TO LENGTH OF DAYS , Health, and therefore life, depends most on habit. What shortens life is folly, irregularity, excess, anxiety,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 65:20

The woe of aged sinners. There are three special periods of life in which men are peculiarly exposed to the power of temptation and sin. Most men that fall, fall either into young men's perils, full-grown, men's indulgences, or old men's sins. A pure, humble, godly old man is one of the noblest sights to be seen under heaven. And by so much as that is beautiful, a godless, characterless, debased old man is a shame and contempt. "A hoary head is a crown of glory if it be found in the way of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 65:21

They shall build houses, and inhabit them . The curse pronounced on apostasy in Deuteronomy 28:30 shall no more rest on God's people. They shall have the fruition of their labours. No enemy shall be able to deprive them of their crops and houses. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 65:22

As the days of a tree are the days of my people. Trees endure for many hundreds, perhaps for thousands of years. The cedars of Lebanon, the oaks of Bashan, were known to have an antiquity of centuries. Isaiah may have had a knowledge of other trees to which attached the tradition of a yet longer existence. In our own day Brazil and California have furnished proofs of vegetable growths exceeding a millennium. Mine elect shall long enjoy; literally, shall wear out ; i.e. have the full ... read more
