Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 55:5

The problem in this verse is the identity of "you" (sing.). It does not refer to the "anyone" addressed in Isaiah 55:3 since this is too broad a field of reference for what the verse describes. It could be the people of God generally, since what the verse describes could apply-to some extent-to all the redeemed. It could be the Servant, in which case the verse means that the whole world would be flocking to David’s Great Son. It could also refer to Israel. In the Millennium, glorified Israel... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 55:5

(5) Thou shalt call a nation.—The calling of the Gentiles and the consequent expansion of the true idea of Israel is again dominant. The words sound like an echo from Psalms 18:43.Because of the Lord thy God . . .—The words are repeated, as expressing a thought on which the prophet loved to dwell, in Isaiah 60:9. read more

The True Imperialism Isaiah 55:1 I. 'Ho, every one that thirsteth!' That is a call to the faint and the weary. What is he to do? 'Incline your ear.' 'Hearken diligently unto Me.' 1. There has to be a discipline of the ear. There has to be a determined and resolute effort to listen to God. The voices of the world are so plausible, so fascinating, so easily seducing, that if a man is to catch the higher voice he must set himself in the resolute act of attention. 'Hearken diligently unto me.' For... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Isaiah 55:1-13

, Isaiah 55:1-13, Isaiah 56:1-8CHAPTER XXIION THE EVE OF RETURNIsaiah 54:1-17, Isaiah 55:1-13, Isaiah 56:1-8ONE of the difficult problems of our prophecy is the relation and grouping of chapters 54-59. It is among them that the unity of "Second Isaiah," which up to this point we have seen no reason to doubt, gives way. Isaiah 56:9-12 is evidently pre-exilic, and so is Isaiah 59:1-21. But in chapters 54, 55, and Isaiah 56:1-8 we have three addresses, evidently dating from the Eve of the Return.... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Isaiah 55:1-13

CHAPTER 55 Salvation’s Offer and Provision 1. The invitation to everyone and the promise (Isaiah 55:1-2 ) 2. The sure mercies of David (Isaiah 55:3-5 ) 3. The exhortation to seek and to forsake (Isaiah 55:6-7 ) 4. God’s thoughts and God’s ways (Isaiah 55:8-11 ) 5. The joy, peace and glory of the future (Isaiah 55:12-13 ) The scope and application of this chapter must not be limited. While Israel eventually will break forth in singing as the result of believing on Him, whom they... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Isaiah 55:1-13

THE MESSIAH REVEALED The thirty-two chapters deal particularly with the Person and work of the Messiah. Isaiah has sometimes been called the evangelical prophet because of the large space he gives to that subject a circumstance the more notable because of the silence concerning it since Moses. The explanation of this silence is hinted at in the lesson on the introduction to the prophets. In chapter 49, the Messiah speaks of Himself and the failure of His mission in His rejection by His... read more
