Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 51:1

Douglas divided this chapter and Isaiah 52 into seven divisions, as follows: the 1call (Isaiah 51:1-3), 2call (Isaiah 51:4-6), 3call (Isaiah 51:7-8), 4th call (Isaiah 51:9-16), 5th call (Isaiah 51:17-23), 6th call (Isaiah 52:1-6), and 7th call (Isaiah 52:7-10).[1] This is an interesting arrangement, in spite of the fact that it is not always clear as to just who is doing the calling. Kelley's arrangement of this chapter classified the first three of these "calls" as "The consolation of... read more

Isaiah 51:1-2. Hearken to me, &c.— The Messiah, about to comfort the true church remaining in the land of Judea, which consisted of a small number, called by him a little flock, and whom he had just before marked out as a small company fearing the Lord,—begins with a gracious address, calling them a company following after righteousness, seeking Jehovah, and demanding attention from them.

1. me—the God of your fathers. ye . . . follow after righteousness—the godly portion of the nation; :- shows this (Proverbs 15:9; 1 Timothy 6:11). "Ye follow righteousness," seek it therefore from Me, who "bring it near," and that a righteousness "not about to be abolished" (Isaiah 51:6; Isaiah 51:7); look to Abraham, your father (Isaiah 51:7- :), as a sample of how righteousness before Me is to be obtained; I, the same God who blessed him, will bless you at last (Isaiah 51:3); therefore trust... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 51:1

The Lord appealed to the righteous in Israel to listen to Him (cf. Isaiah 50:10). Watts believed the speaker, through Isaiah 51:4, was Darius. [Note: Watts, Isaiah 34-66, p. 204.] These were the Israelites who sincerely wanted to trust and obey God, but found it difficult to do so because impending captivity seemed to contradict God’s promises. The Lord directed them to consider their history, their origin."Abraham was the rock from which his descendants were hewn-having a rocklike quality... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 51:1-8

Listening to the Servant 51:1-8This section of Isaiah, like the preceding one, reflects on the third Servant Song (Isaiah 50:4-9). Here the emphasis is on the expectations of those who will listen to the Servant, as well as encouragement for those who are followers of righteousness. From this point through Isaiah 52:12, the Servant theme builds to its climax in Isaiah 52:13 to Isaiah 53:12.God directed His people three times, in Isaiah 51:1-8, to listen. They should listen and look back, to... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Isaiah 51:1-23

The Pentateuch Genesis Isaiah 51:1-2 Today we begin to examine the early books of the Old Testament. The first five books stand together by themselves. Sometimes they are called the Pentateuch, which means only 'the book of five volumes '. First we must attend to the place which these five books hold in the history of the Jews. Speaking roughly, we may say that they tell us the beginning of the Jewish people. The early steps and stages by which they become a people. I. We see at the beginning... read more
