以賽亞書 25:1-4 CUNPTS

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 25:1

The true reading of the Divine dealings. "Thou has, done wonderful things, even counsels of old, in faithfulness and truth" (Revised Version). When we can read aright, the Divine plan and workings in the olden times are not merely wonderful, causing surprise at the Divine wisdom and power; the great thing about them is seen to be their goodness, adaptation, mercifulness, and truth to promise and pledge. This is the result of a true reading of history, and ninny of us have found this to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 25:1-5

Rejoicing in God. Such words as these could only come from an enlightened mind. They would have been impossible to a heathen sage. The gods of the nations were beings in whom no right-minded man could rejoice at all, and their character could not have been painted in these colors. But the God of Isaiah, our God, is One for whom "praise may be continually on the lips" of the wise and pure. Our souls can " delight themselves in God;" for— I. HIS ABIDING FAITHFULNESS . "His... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 25:1-8

Hymn of praise to Jehovah. I. THE PERSONAL APPROPRIATION OF GOD . This is one of the great marks of personal, spiritual religion. Other nations have known their gods as leaders in war, protectors of hearth and home; it was reserved for Israel and for Christianity to think of the High and Holy One as tenanting the heart and soul of the believer. Jehovah is not only "my father's God,"—this would be merely traditional religion; but "my God," "my Salvation,"—this is personal religion... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 25:1-12

ISAIAH 'S SONG OF PRAISE ON THE ESTABLISHMENT OF GOD 'S KINGDOM . AS in Isaiah 12:1-6 , after describing the first setting up of Christ's kingdom and the call of the Gentiles, the prophet broke out into song, through joy at the tidings he was commissioned to announce, so now, having proclaimed the final establishment of the same kingdom in the heavenly Zion, he is again carried away by the sense of exultant gladness into a fresh Lobgesang , which he utters in his... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 25:1-12

The place of thanksgiving in the religious life. It is generally agreed by Christians that the religious life embraces a considerable number of separate duties of a strictly religious character. Among these the first place is ordinarily assigned to prayer; the second to reading of the Scriptures; the third, perhaps, to meditation; and so forth. But it is not always, or indeed very often, that a distinct position, or a very prominent position, is assigned to praise and thanksgiving. Prayer is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 25:2

Thou hast made of a city an heap . No particular city is pointed at. The prophet has in his mind the fate of all those cities which have been enemies of Jehovah and persecutors of the saints upon earth. A defended city ; i.e. "a fenced, or fortified, city." A palace of strangers . As the "city" of this passage is not an individual city, so the "palace" is not an individual palace. All the palaces of those who were "strangers" to God and his covenant have ceased to be—they are whelmed... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 25:3

Therefore shall the strong people glorify thee ; rather, strong peoples . God's judgments on the nations specially hostile to him would cause some among the heathen peoples to range themselves on his side. Perhaps Persia is mainly intended (see Isaiah 44:28 ; Isaiah 45:1 , etc.; and comp. Ezra 1:1-4 ; Ezra 6:3-12 , etc.). The city of the terrible nations ; rather, cities of terrible nations . Though the noun is singular, the verb is plural, showing that the word "city" is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 25:4

The poor … the needy. The "poor and needy" are especially the afflicted saints, whom the ungodly of the earth have so long injured and oppressed. God is ever a "Strength" and "Refuge" to such (comp. Isaiah 14:30 ; Isaiah 29:19 ; and see also Psalms 72:12-14 ). A Refuge from the storm (comp. Isaiah 4:6 ; and the Psalms passim ). A Shadow from the heat . The idea is a little enlarged in Isaiah 32:2 . Its germ is, perhaps, to be found in Psalms 121:5 , Psalms 121:6 . No... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 25:4

God our Shadow. "For thou hast been … a Shadow from the heat." The prophet sees, in God's mercifulness to his people, a reason why the nations around, the masses of the people, should fear him. We man understand why the word "fear" is employed. God's deliverings and defendings of his people involve judgments on the great kingdoms that were oppressing Israel; and judgments are striking and impressive to masses of people, who must act upon fear rather than upon love, or even upon a sense of... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 25:1

O Lord, thou art my God - The prophet speaks, not in his own name, but in the name of the people that would be delivered from bondage. The sense is, that Yahweh had manifested himself as their covenant-keeping God; and that in view of his faithfulness in keeping his promises, they now had demonstration that he was their God.I will exalt thee - A form of expression often used to denote praise Psalms 118:28; Psalms 145:1, meaning that the worshipper would exalt God in the view of his own mind, or... read more
