Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 11:1-16

The Messiah’s kingdom (11:1-12:6)A leading theme of this part of the book is that God preserves a remnant out of the destruction of Israel and Judah. Earlier this remnant was likened to the stump of a tree from which springs new life (see 6:13). The remnant is now identified with the royal line of David (son of Jesse) from which comes the Messiah (11:1). The Messiah reverences God and, having the Spirit of God in unlimited measure, knows how to apply God’s wisdom in ruling God’s people. He is... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 11:10

"And it shall come to pass in that day, that the root of Jesse, that standeth for an ensign of the peoples, unto him shall the nations seek; and his resting place shall be glorious."This reference to "the nations" in the Old Testament invariably means to "the Gentiles"; and this is without doubt a prophecy of the reception of the Gentiles into God's kingdom in the days of Jesus Christ. The opening words here, "in that day," could not refer to any other period. read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 11:10

Isaiah 11:10. And in that day, &c.— We have here the latter part of the prophesy, which sets forth some more illustrious events of this kingdom, with their consequences; and it is twofold. First, we have the events themselves, Isaiah 11:10-16. Secondly, the consequence of the events; a remarkable thanksgiving of the Jewish people, converted to the Messiah, for the redemption granted to them; chap. Isaiah 12:1-6. The events here proposed are three; the remarkable conversion of the Gentiles,... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 11:10

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 11:5-16

3. Hope of God’s deliverance 10:5-11:16Earlier God revealed that He would use Assyria to destroy Judah for her lack of trust in Yahweh (Isaiah 7:1 to Isaiah 8:22). Now He revealed that He would also destroy this destroyer (cf. Habakkuk 2:4-20). It is God who is sovereign, not Assyria, and He was with His people."The Messianic prophecy, which turns its darker side towards unbelief in ch. vii., and whose promising aspect burst like a great light through the darkness in ch. viii. 5-ix. 6, is... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 11:10

"In that day" points to the time when Messiah would rule (Isaiah 11:1-9). Then the Gentile nations would seek out the king who would represent His people, the Jews. The signal or standard in view seems to refer to a rallying point. The fulfillment could not be the return from Babylonian exile as the fulfillment, and the rallying of all sorts of people around Christ-as preached in the church age-does not fit the picture either. Many liberal interpreters prefer the first explanation, and... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 11:10-16

The return under the Shoot 11:10-16The rebellion of one Davidic king, Ahaz, would result in the defeat and dispersion of God’s people (Isaiah 8:6-8), but the righteousness of another Davidic king, Messiah, would result in their revival and return to God and the Promised Land. read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 11:1-16

1. Rod out of the stem] RV ’shoot out of the stock,’ implying that the tree has been cut down. The Assyrians have been compared in the vv. preceding to cedars, which when felled throw out no fresh suckers; now the house of David is likened to an oak whose life remains in it after it has been cut down (Isaiah 6:13). From the royal family of Judah, though it may seem ruined, is to spring the ideal Ruler in the future. It has been already implied (Isaiah 9:7), and is here expressly stated, that... read more
