イザヤ書 66:18 JCB

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 66:18

"For I know their works and their thoughts: the time cometh, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and shall see my glory. And I will set a sign among them, and I will send such as escape of them unto the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow to Tubal and Javan, to the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the nations. And they shall bring all your brethren out of all the nations... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 66:17-18

Isaiah 66:17-18. They that sanctify themselves— These verses specify the cause of the extreme severity denounced in those preceding, and are to be understood figuratively, like the expressions used in Isa 66:3 and in ch. Isaiah 65:3-4; Isaiah 65:11. אחד אחר achar achad, Behind one tree, may be rendered, After Hecate, or Ahad, which Ahad, or Adad, was an Assyrian idol. See Selden, and Macrob. Saturn. 23. In the midst, may either signify publicly, without any fear or shame, (see ch. Isa 19:19... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 66:18-20

Isaiah 66:18-20. It shall come, that I will gather, &c.— The prophet here describes the manner of converting the Gentiles, after the rejection of the greater part of the Jews. Vitringa thinks that this alludes to the first calling of the Gentiles, and that St. Paul manifestly refers to this passage, in his epistle to the Romans, Romans 15:16. The passage is sufficiently plain from what has gone before in this book. The author of the Observations remarks, that in the 20th verse there is an... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 66:18

18. know—not in the Hebrew. Rather, understand the words by aposiopesis; it is usual in threats to leave the persons threatened to supply the hiatus from their own fears, owing to conscious guilt: "For I . . . their works and thoughts," c. namely, will punish [MAURER]. it shall come—the time is come that I will, c. [MAURER]. gather . . . nations—against Jerusalem, where the ungodly Jews shall perish and then the Lord at last shall fight for Jerusalem against those nations: and the survivors... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 66:15-24

Worship or destruction 66:15-24This pericope concludes the sections on the culmination of Israel’s future (Isaiah 65:17 to Isaiah 66:24), Israel’s future transformation (chs. 56-66), Israel’s hope (chs. 40-66), and the whole book-Yahweh’s salvation. Like Isaiah 56:1-8, it clarifies the difference between being a true servant of the Lord and one of His enemies, i.e., a rebel."God does not deliver his servants so that they can revel in the experience of sharing his glory (cf. chs. 60-62). Rather,... read more

2. The culmination of Israel’s future 65:17-66:24As the book opened with an emphasis on judgment (chs. 1-5), so it closes with an emphasis on hope (Isaiah 65:17 to Isaiah 66:24). Amid judgment, Israel could have hope. References to "new heavens" and a "new earth" form an inclusio for this final section of the book (Isaiah 65:17; Isaiah 66:22). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 66:18

The Lord knows the works and thoughts of rebels against His will, and He will assemble them all to witness a display of His glory. At Babel, humankind assembled to display its own glory (Genesis 11:1-9), but God will bring all the rebels together to witness His glory. The church’s preaching of the gospel is hardly the fulfillment in view. It is rather the return of Christ to the earth and the judgment of the nations then (cf. Matthew 25:32)."Vv. 18-24 have a close affinity with Zechariah 12-14,... read more

1. Where, etc.] RV ’what manner of house.. what place shall be my rest.’ The v. is a strong rebuke of such as, without a really religious spirit, idly trusted in the inviolability of Zion, and the protection they thought the sanctuary would afford. A like fault is rebuked in Jeremiah 7:1-16. This passage is quoted by St. Stephen (Acts 7:49-50). 2. Those things] i.e. the universe. All.. have been] RV ’so all these things came to be.’3.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 66:18

(18) For I know their works . . .—The Hebrew has no verb, either—as in the Quos ego . . . of Virgil, Æn., 1:139—for the sake of emphasis, or through an accidental omission in transcription. I know is supplied by many versions and commentators; I will punish or I have seen by others. The thought, in any case, is that the eye of Jehovah sees the evil things that are done in the secret places, caves or groves, in which the heathen rites were celebrated.All nations and tongues . . .—The phrase,... read more

The Genesis of Delusions Isaiah 66:4 They will think it is the devil, but I am behind it all; they will ascribe it to some peculiar condition of the brain, and they will endeavour to trace that condition to indigestion, to the wrong food, to a mistake in choices and fancies; they will never suspect that I am in it. We are not worshippers of a limited Sovereign; the universe is not split up into sections, God presiding over, it may be, the larger section, and the devil presiding over the... read more
