以賽亞書 25:8-9 CUNPTS

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 25:8

He will swallow up death in victory ; rather, he will abolish death forever . Hosea, a contemporary, was inspired to write! "Will ransom Israel from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction" ( Hosea 13:14 ); but otherwise this was the first announcement that death was to disappear and to cease to be a possibility. It was an enormous advance on the dim and vague conceptions of a future life hitherto current... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 25:8

Christ's conquest of death. "He will swallow up death in victory." Here the fullness of Isaiah's evangelical prophecy begins to break forth. In the fourth verse he has described Jehovah as "a Strength to the poor, a Strength to the needy in his distress, a Refuge from the storm, a Shadow from the heat;" and all this, he says, God has been. Human history will endorse the record. But he will be more to men than all this! Death, that dogs men's footsteps and darkens even their days with fear;... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 25:8

The supreme victory. "He will swallow up death in victory." The terms of the text are not satisfied by anything less than the gospel of the grace of God; that, and that alone, can be truly said to swallow up death. It is only Jesus Christ who can be said to have "abolished death" ( 2 Timothy 1:10 ). This is the supreme victory. Great conquests have been gained in other fields: in geographical research—discovery of America, penetration of Africa, etc.; in the useful arts—printing,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 25:8

Triumph over death. There is a first reference here to the restoration of Judah from its death-state of captivity, and to the wiping away of the tears the captives shed when they hung their harps upon the willows. But we cannot forget that St. Paul and St. John have put the richest Christian meanings into these beautiful and pathetic words ( 1 Corinthians 4:1-21 :54; Revelation 7:17 ; Revelation 21:4 ). And life for a nation out of the death-state of captivity may well be taken as a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 25:8-9

The evening of expectation. Of this passage we may look at— I. ITS PRIMARY HISTORICAL APPLICATION . (See Exposition.) II. ITS APPLICATION TO THE CHURCH OF CHRIST . The Church of Christ is "the Israel of God," and we may expect much of the language first used in reference to the Jewish nation to be appropriate to it and even intended for its service. Like ancient Israel, the Church has found itself in great humiliation and distress, and has been in sore need of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 25:9

It shall be said ; literally, one shall say ; i.e. the redeemed generally shall thus express themselves. We have waited for him . During all the weary time of their oppression and persecution, the godly remnant ( Isaiah 24:13-15 ) was "waiting fur the Lord," i.e. trusting in him, expecting him to arise and scatter his enemies, won-daring that he endured so long the "contradiction of sinners against himself" ( Hebrews 12:3 ), but content to abide his determination of the fitting... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 25:9

Waiting on God. "This is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us." Waiting on God. Waiting for God. Waiting on when all is dark. Waiting still, when commotions and troubles surround us. Bidding us wait for him, a way of the Lord's dealing with us. Making it hard to wait, a sign of God's severer dealing with us. And wafting sanctified to our soul-culture. These are subjects very suggestive to Christian meditation. I. WAITING CIRCUMSTANCES . It was a waiting-time for the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 25:9-12

Song of the redeemed. I. THE STATE OF THE CHOSEN PEOPLE . They will be in the joyous realization of long-awaited blessings. A brief strain from their hymn is given— "Lo! here is our God! For him we have waited that he should save us; This is Jehovah, for whom we have waited; Let us exult and rejoice in his salvation!" As "a sorrow's crown of sorrow is remembering happier things," so the crown of joy is the recollection of past miseries in the hour of deliverance. And... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 25:8

He will swallow up - This image is probably taken from a whirlpool or maelstrom in the ocean that absorbs all that comes near it. It is, therefore, equivalent to saying he will destroy or remove Isaiah 25:7. In this place it means that be will abolish death; that is, he will cause it to cease from its ravages and triumphs. This passage is quoted by Paul in his argument respecting the resurrection of the dead 1 Corinthians 15:54. He does not, however, quote directly from the Hebrew, or from the... read more
