以賽亞書 66:14-16 CUNPTS

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 66:14

The Lord's indignation; or, the Divine goodness and severity. "The hand of the Lord shall be known towards his servants, and his indignation toward his enemies." Here two sides of the Divine nature are declared, which we find it difficult to conceive as harmonious in one person. It is not only true that God is gracious toward his people, and angry with the wicked; it is also true that in dealing with his people he is both gracious and severe. I. IN THE GOD OF REVELATION WE ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 66:15

Behold, the Lord will come with fire. "Fire" is a usual accompaniment of a "theophany." God descended on Sinai "in fire" ( Exodus 19:18 ), and led the Israelites through the wilderness by the pillar of the cloud and of fire ( Exodus 13:21 , Exodus 13:22 ), and filled the tabernacle with a glory as of fire ( Exodus 40:34 ), and "answered David from heaven by fire upon the altar of burnt offering'' ( 1 Chronicles 21:26 ), and in the same way answered Solomon ( 2 Chronicles 7:1 )... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 66:15-17

The purging of the earth by the destruction of the wicked. The kingdom of Christ cannot be fully set up in all its blessedness until the earth is prepared for its reception; and the main preparation required is the elimination from it of those wicked persons who, while they remain, must always constitute a disturbing element, inimical to the earth's peace and a hindrance to the Church's happiness. The teaching of Scripture is that, before the Church is finally established in the blissful... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 66:15-18

THE VENGEANCE WHICH GOD WILL TAKE ON HIS ENEMIES . A signal outpouring of God's vengeance upon his enemies precedes the settlement of the Church in its final glorious condition, both in Isaiah and in the Revelation of St. John (see ch. 34; 35, and Revelation 19-21.). The wicked have to be removed before the righteous can be established in peace. Here the agencies employed against the wicked are "fire" and "sword"—fire pointing (as Delitzsch remarks) to destructive occurrences... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 66:15-24

The manifestation of Jehovah. I. IT IS A MANIFESTATION IN FIRE . Very common is the representation of this coming by or in the element of fire. Its associations are of judgment , vengeance—devouring fire ( Psalms 50:3 ). So it is associated with the pestilence ( Habakkuk 2:5 ). It consumes God's enemies ( Psalms 97:3 ). Nor can we deny that such representations do in part enter into Christianity ( 2 Thessalonians 1:8 ; Hebrews 10:27 ; 2 Peter 3:7 ; cf. also ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 66:16

By fire and by his sword (see the introductory paragraph). The "sword of Jehovah" is spoken of also in Isaiah 27:1 and Isaiah 34:5 , Isaiah 34:6 (comp. Revelation 19:15 , Revelation 19:21 ). Will the Lord plead with all flesh; rather, will the Lord judge all flesh (comp. Jeremiah 25:31 , where the same phrase occurs). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 66:16

The slain of the Lord. While it is doubtful as to what special juncture the prophet refers when he says that" the slain of the Lord shall be many," it is painfully and practically certain that at all times these slain ones are many. For— I. THE VICTIMS OF SIN ARE THE SLAIN OF THE LORD . The laws which work the penalty they suffer are God's laws. It is under his administration that pain, weakness, impotence, trouble, sorrow, death, slay guilty souls. These are his... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 66:14

And when ye see this - This great accession to the church from the Gentile world.Your bones shall flourish like an herb - This is an image which is often employed in the Scriptures. When the vigor of the body fails, or when it is much afflicted, the bones are said to be feeble or weakened, or to be dried Psalms 6:2; Psalms 51:8; Psalms 22:14, Psalms 22:17; Psalms 38:3; Lamentations 1:13; Proverbs 14:30; Proverbs 17:22. like manner, prosperity, health, vigor, are denoted by making the bones fat... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 66:15

For behold, the Lord will come with fire - The Septuagint reads this ‘As fire’ (ὡς πύρ hōs pur). Fire is a common emblem to denote the coming of the Lord to judge and punish his enemies Psalms 50:3 :Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence;A fire shall devour before him,And it shall be very tempestuous round about him.So Habakkuk 2:5 :Before him went the pestilence,And burning coals went forth at his feet.So Psalms 97:3 :A fire goeth before him,And burneth up his enemies round about.So... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 66:16

For by fire and by his sword - The sword is an instrument by which punishment is executed (see the notes at Isaiah 34:5; compare Romans 13:4).Will he plead with all flesh - Or rather, he will judge (נשׁפט nı̂shephaṭ), that is, he will execute his purposes of vengeance on all the human race. Of course, only that part is intended who ought to be subject to punishment; that is, all his foes.And the slain of the Lord shall be many - The number of those who shall be consigned to woe shall be... read more
