Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 25:6-7

Isaiah 25:6-7. And in this mountain In mount Zion, namely, God’s church, very frequently meant by the names of Zion and Jerusalem, both in the Old and New Testaments; shall the Lord make unto all people Both Jews and Gentiles, who shall then be admitted to a participation of the same privileges and ordinances; a feast of fat things A feast made of the most delicate provisions: which is manifestly meant of the ordinances, graces, and comforts given by God in his church.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 25:1-12

24:1-27:13 FINAL JUDGMENT AND SALVATIONThe judgment of various contemporary nations leads the prophet to consider God’s final great judgment on the world. Naturally, his illustrations are taken from the world that he knew, and the nations he mentions are those of his time, but the principles of judgment and salvation that he presents are those of the unchangeable God. They will find their fullest expression in God’s mighty triumph at the end of the world’s history.Some will mourn, others... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 25:7-8

Isaiah 25:7-8. And he will destroy, &c.— Vitringa thinks, with the Chaldee, that the covering and vail here spoken of mean Death; that mighty ruler, who covers the whole race of men with his black garment, and hides them in obscure night; that by the face of this covering, which is the face of death, are meant the miseries, calamities, afflictions, and persecutions, which believers in that country should sustain on account of their religion, under various forms and appearances; as well as... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 25:7

7. face of . . . covering—image from mourning, in which it was usual to cover the face with a veil (2 Samuel 15:30). "Face of covering," that is, the covering itself; as in 2 Samuel 15:30- :, "the face of his garment," the garment itself. The covering or veil is the mist of ignorance as to a future state, and the way to eternal life, which enveloped the nations (2 Samuel 15:30- :) and the unbelieving Jew (2 Samuel 15:30- :). The Jew, however, is first to be converted before the conversion of... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 25:7-8

The Lord will also remove the curse of death that has hung over humankind since the Fall (cf. Isaiah 26:19; Genesis 2:17; Job 19:26; Daniel 12:2; Romans 6:23; 1 Corinthians 15:54; Hebrews 2:15; Revelation 7:17; Revelation 21:4; Revelation 22:3). This will occur at the end of the Millennium, after the final rebellion and God’s creation of new heavens and a new earth. Isaiah’s vision of the future followed the course of events that later revelation clarified, but he did not present the... read more

Charles John Ellicott

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 25:7

(7) The face of the covering cast over all people . . .—To cover the face was, in the East, a sign of mourning for the dead (2 Samuel 19:4); and to destroy that covering is to overcome death, of which it is thus the symbol. With this there probably mingled another, though kindred, thought. The man whose face is thus covered cannot see the light, and the “covering” represents the veil (2 Corinthians 3:15) which hinders men from knowing God. The final victory of God includes a triumph over... read more

William Nicoll

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Isaiah 25:1-12

An Act of Faith Isaiah 25:1 I. 'O Lord, Thou art my God.' This is not a prayer, but something higher 'an act of faith'. What do we mean by an act of faith? We mean an expression of faith in which the will has its part. An act of faith should be the utterance of the whole nature, the will giving effect both to the conclusions of the reason and to the desires of the affections. An act of faith seems so simple; it is tremendous, for it involves the operation of the whole soul. II. There is (1)... read more
