以賽亞書 11:5-9 RCUVTS

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 11:1-5

The spiritual nature of Messiah's perfections. It was certainly not from Isaiah that the Jews derived their notion that the Messiah would be a mighty temporal prince, the leader of armies, who would break the yoke of Rome from off their shoulders, and give them dominion over all the nations of the earth. Isaiah does, indeed, announce him as a King ( Isaiah 32:1 ), and could do no less, since he was indeed "King of kings, and Lord of lords." But he ever puts forward his spiritual character,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 11:1-5

Characteristics of Jesus Christ. The expression of the prophet, "The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him," has a very close correspondence with the New Testament references to Jesus Christ ( Matthew 3:16 ; Luke 4:1 , Luke 4:14 , Luke 4:18 ; John 3:34 ). This full possession by our Lord of the Spirit of God revealed itself, and is still found, in these particulars which the prophecy indicates. I. His PERFECT PIETY . In him dwelt the "fear of the Lord" without measure ( ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 11:1-9

A RENEWED PROPHECY OF MESSIAH AND OF HIS KINGDOM . This chapter is closely connected with the preceding. With the final destruction of Assyria, which, being cut down, sends out no shoot ( Isaiah 10:33 , Isaiah 10:34 ), is contrasted the recuperative energy of Israel, which, though equally leveled with the ground ( Isaiah 9:18 , Isaiah 9:19 ), shall spring afresh into life, and "renew its youth." The recovery is connected—or rather identified with the coming of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 11:1-9

The coming of the Messiah. I. HIS ORIGIN . "From Ishai's worn stem a shoot will sprout forth, and a green branch burst forth from his roots." From the stock of David, now fallen very low, the coming Deliverer will arise in all the vigor of youth. Seldom does the great man come but of some pure and generous strain of blood. Like some stream which, long hidden underground, reappears again in the daylight, or some vein of precious ore, recovered after some extensive "fault," so it was... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 11:3-5

The principles of Messianic rule. These are exemplified in the actual administration of the head of the Messianic kingdom. The picture presented here is designed to be in sharp contrast with that of the unjust judges referred to in Isaiah 1:23 ; Isaiah 2:14 , Isaiah 2:15 ; Isaiah 10:1 , Isaiah 10:2 . The figure of clothing one's self, or being clothed, with moral attributes is not infrequent in the Scriptures. The girdle is mentioned as an essential part of Oriental dress, and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 11:5

Righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins , etc.; i.e. "righteousness shall be ever with him, ever ready for active use, ever (as it were) bracing him for action." Assuredly, he was "righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works" ( Psalms 145:17 ). Faithfulness (comp. Ephesians 6:14 , "Having your loins girt about with truth"). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 11:6

The wolf … the leopard … the young lion … the bear are the only ferocious animals of Palestine, where the tiger, the crocodile, the alligator, and the jaguar are unknown. That the Palestinian bear was carnivorous, and a danger to man, appears by Lamentations 3:10 ; Daniel 7:5 ; Amos 5:19 . A little child shall lead them. Man's superiority over the brute creation shall continue, and even be augmented. The most powerful beasts shall submit to the control of a child. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 11:6

The leading of a little child: Sunday school sermon. "And a little child shall lead them." The reduction of the fierceness of wild animals to such tameness that a little child may lead them is a very beautiful, poetical picture of the transformation of the worst of the wicked to the excellency of the Christian spirit. We may, without impropriety, allow these words to suggest thoughts on the way in which the regeneration and perfecting of human character is brought about by the leading of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 11:6-9

Messiah's kingdom, when fully realized, shall be one of perfect peace. " They shall neither hurt nor destroy in all his holy mountain." Primarily, no doubt, the passage is figurative, and points to harmony among men, who, in Messiah's kingdom, shall no longer prey one upon another (see especially Isaiah 11:9 ). But, from the highest spiritual standpoint, the figure itself becomes a reality, and it is seen that, if in the "new heavens and new earth" there is an animal creation, it will be... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 11:6-9

The intensive and extensive power of the gospel. I. THE INTENSIVE POWER OF DIVINE TRUTH . More power is needful 1. Individual instances abound of the conversion of notorious drunkards, of savage prize-fighters, of shameless courtesans, of ribald atheists, of those who were abandoned by all, and who abandoned themselves to hopeless sin, of men who were the terror of their tribe or of their district, etc. Therefore we need not and we should not despair of those who are living... read more
