以賽亞書 33:20-24 RCUVTS

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 33:13-24

REFLECTIONS ON ASSYRIA 'S OVERTHROW VIEWED AS ACCOMPLISHED . The prophet's first thought is , how wonderfully the overthrow has manifested the might of God ( Isaiah 33:13 ). Next, how it must thrill with fear the hearts of the wicked among his people ( Isaiah 33:14 ). Thirdly, how the righteous are by it placed in security, and can look back with joy to their escape, and can with confidence look forward to a future of happiness and tranquil lily ( Isaiah 33:15-24 ).... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 33:17-24

The reign of Hezekiah. Amidst all the agitation caused by the invasion of Sennacherib, and his perfidy, "the voices of true prophets were raised with power, pointing to the imperishable elements in the true community, and proclaiming the approach of a great crisis, the crushing weight of which should alight only on the faithless, whether among the Assyrians or in Judah" (Ewald). Here we find a reflection of the excitement of the time. I. THE GLORY OF THE KING . His beauty is a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 33:18-24

Happy times. A very pleasant picture is this of a nation or of a Church on which the full blessing of God is resting. There are several elements in its prosperity. I. A SENSE OF THE DIVINE MERCY . "The people … shall be forgiven their iniquity" ( Isaiah 33:24 ). A sense of pardoned sin and of reconciliation to God is at the foundation of all true peace, all sacred joy, and all holy usefulness. II. THE MAINTENANCE or DEVOTIONAL HABITS . Zion is to be always known... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 33:20

Look upon Zion , etc.; i.e. turn thy thoughts, O Judah, from the past to the present—from the time of the siege to the time after the siege terminated. The city of our solemnities ; or, of our festal meetings ; the city where we celebrate our Passovers, our Feasts of Weeks, our Feasts of Ingathering, and the like. A tent that shall not be taken down . There is, perhaps, a reference to Sennacherib's threat to remove the entire population from Jerusalem to a far country ( Isaiah... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 33:21

But there the glorious Lord will be unto us a Place of broad rivers ; rather, there in majesty the Lord is ours ; [ the Lord who is ] a Place of broad rivers , etc. Some critics think that "a place of broad rivers" may be exegetical of sham , "there," and so apply it to Jerusalem; but the majority regard the phrase as applied directly to Jehovah. As he is "a Place to hide in" ( Psalms 32:7 ; Psalms 119:114 ), so he may be "a Place of broad rivers," full, i.e. of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 33:22

The true theocracy. It is most difficult for us to realize that idea of Jehovah as the direct Ruler and Governor of a nation, which was the one characteristic thought of the Jews, and the great underlying idea of the Mosaic revelation. But this verse gives us most material help by setting out a threefold relation of God to men in the theocracy. I. GOD IS THE LAW - MAKER . "The Lord is our Lawgiver." This is true in two senses. 1. God gave the formal laws from Mount Sinai,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 33:23

Thy tacklings are loosed . The comparing of God to a river has led to the representation of Judah's enemies as warships ( Isaiah 33:21 ). This causes Judah herself to be viewed as a ship—a badly appointed ship, which has to contend with one whose equipment is perfect. The prophet's thoughts have traveled back to the existing state of things. They could not well strengthen their mast ; rather, they cannot hold firm the lower part of their mast . The mast had its lower extremity... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 33:24

And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick . There shall be no sickness in the restored Jerusalem at least, no "sickness unto death." The people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity . Once more the prophet floats off into Messianic anticipations. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 33:24

No more sickness. This is clearly a figure, designed to complete the picture of relief from the strain and pressure and anxiety of the time of invasion. Sickness is the constant attendant on prolonged siege. The point on which we may dwell is that sickness is the sign of the presence of evil, of sin; and so heaven is represented as the place where there is no more sickness, because there is no more sin. This connection between sickness and sin lies at the basis of some of the most important... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 33:20

Look upon Zion - Lowth renders this, ‘Thou shalt see Zion,’ by Changing the Hebrew text in conformity with the Chaldee. There is no doubt that this accords with the sense of the passage, but there is no authority for the change It stands in contrast with what had been said in Isaiah 33:19. There, the prophet had said that they should no more see those foreign armies that were coming to invade them. Here he directs them to look upon Zion, implying that they should be permitted to behold Zion in... read more
