以赛亚书 62:6-10 CUNPSS

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 62:1-7

From night to noon. The passage rather implies than states a very sad condition in which Israel is found, and it suggests to us, as a starting-point— I. DARK DAYS THROUGH WHICH A CHRISTIAN CHURCH MAY PASS , The evils and miseries which may then be endured may include, as with Israel at the time of this prophecy: 1 . Reduced numbers, causing weakness and humiliation, perhaps approaching extinction. 2 . Submission to some kind of bondage; either to the tyranny of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 62:1-9

Promises of future glory. Let us assume that Jehovah is the Speaker, and that he utters this oracle in a time of darkness and despondency. What is expressed is the intense passion, if we may so say, of God for the realization of his ideas in the world. The prophet fears not to use the boldest anthropomorphic imagery in setting forth this view of God. I. THE IRREPRESSIBLE DESIRES AND PURPOSES OF THE ETERNAL . He will not be silent nor will he rest. In dark times it seems... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 62:1-12

FURTHER GRACIOUS PROMISES MADE TO ISRAEL BY " THE SERVANT ." Some regard the speaker in this chapter as Jehovah; some as the prophet, or the prophetical order; some as "the Servant." The last supposition appears to us the simplest and the best. The close connection with the preceding chapter is evident. If that then be, in the main, "a soliloquy of the Servant," this should he a continuation of the soliloquy. Israel is promised "righteousness," "glory," "a new name," a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 62:2-12

The teaching of Scripture with respect to names. Names are not spoken of in the Scriptures as unimportant, but as of a very high importance. I. A SPECIAL VALUE IS SET ON THE NAMES OF GOD . The names of God are significant, and set forth his nature. "El" is "the Great;" "Shaddai," "the Strong;" "Jehovah," "the Alone-existent." God selected this last name as that by which he would be especially known to the Jews ( Exodus 3:14 ), and it became a sort of proper name with... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 62:6

I have set watchmen upon thy walls . "The Servant" has appointed watchers upon the walls of Zion—either "prophets" (Delitzsch), or "priests and prophets" (Kay), or, more probably, "angelic beings" (Cheyne), who keep perpetual watch and ward (Comp. Isaiah 52:8 ). Neither day nor night do they hold their peace , or keep silence , but ever intercede with God for his people, like the "angel of Jehovah" in Zechariah 1:12 , reminding him of his covenant with them, and his promises to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 62:6-7

The work of the praying men amongst us. "Upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, I have set watchers; all day and all night they are never silent: ye that are Jehovah's remembrancers, take ye no rest, and give no rest to him, until he establish and until he make Jerusalem a renown in the earth" (Cheyne). If the watchers are men, the idea is that during all the years of Israel's captivity, her watchmen, remembrancers, or praying men, are to keep at their work without ceasing, as it were, every day... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 62:7

Give him no rest . Compare the teaching of our Lord with respect to the efficacy of importunity ( Luke 11:5-8 ; Luke 18:1-8 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 62:8

The Lord hath sworn . In answer to the representations of the "remembrancers," God solemnly binds himself by an oath to come to the relief of the people, to restore them to their own land, and to give them the enjoyment of its fruits in peace. By his right hand . God commonly swears "by himself" ( Genesis 22:16 ; Isaiah 45:23 ; Jeremiah 49:13 ; Jeremiah 51:14 ; Amos 6:5 ), or "by his holiness" ( Psalms 89:35 ; Amos 4:2 ). Once he swears "by his great Name" ( Jeremiah 44:26 ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 62:8-9

The value of security, etc. The principal lesson here is the inestimable advantage of national independence and consequent individual security. But other lessons also stand out from the passage, viz.— I. THE REALITY OF NATIONAL RESPONSIBILITY . It is very clearly implied that Israel had suffered grievously in the past as a nation , because of God's wrath. She had sinned and had been condemned, and she had paid the penalty of suffering from a cruel and rapacious invasion; so... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 62:9

Shall drink it in the courts of my holiness . This is not to be understood literally, at any rate, of the whole produce of the laud. What is meant is, that the produce will be consecrated by such festal means as the Law enjoined ( Deuteronomy 14:22-27 ), and that then the remainder will be consumed with due thanks and acknowledgments. read more
