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

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 66:15-16

Isaiah 66:15-16. For, behold, &c. Here the prophet comes more particularly to show the nature of that indignation which should be exercised toward God’s enemies. The passage, it must be observed, is metaphorical, “exhibiting God as about to take vengeance on the enemies of his church, under the figure of a commander and warrior, as well as of a judge, armed at all points, severely to punish those who have provoked his indignation: see Isaiah 63:1, &c.; Revelation 18:8; and... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 66:7-24

New people and a new age (66:7-24)Usually there is a long period of development before a group of people becomes a nation, but the new nation Israel will appear suddenly and unexpectedly, like a baby born before the due date (7-9). As with the birth of a baby, there is much rejoicing over the birth of the new nation (10-11). The ‘baby’ grows strong and active because God is the one who nourishes it. Under the controlling hand of God, Israel prospers (12-14).While Israel enjoys God’s blessings,... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 66:15

"For, behold, Jehovah will come with fire, and his chariots shall be like the whirlwind; to render his anger with fierceness, and his rebuke with flames of fire. For by fire will Jehovah execute judgment, and by his sword, upon all flesh; and the slain of Jehovah shall be many. They that sanctify themselves and purify themselves to go unto the gardens, behind one in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abominations, and the mouse, they shall come to an end together, saith Jehovah.""Jehovah... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 66:15-16

Isaiah 66:15-16. For, behold, &c.— This passage is wholly figurative, exhibiting God, as about to take vengeance upon the enemies of his church, under the figure of a commander and warrior, as well as of a judge, armed at all points, severely to take vengeance upon those who have provoked his indignation. See chap. Isaiah 63:1, &c. and Revelation 18:8; Revelation 14:20; Revelation 14:20. Some suppose that this passage refers to the general judgment; but it is rather, according to the... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 66:15

15. (Isaiah 9:5; Psalms 50:3; Habakkuk 3:5; 2 Thessalonians 1:8; 2 Peter 3:7). chariots . . . whirlwind— (Jeremiah 4:13). render—as the Hebrew elsewhere (Job 9:13; Psalms 78:38) means to "allay" or "stay wrath." MAURER translates it so here: He stays His anger with nothing but fury," c. nothing short of pouring out all His fiery fury will satisfy His wrath. fury—"burning heat" [LOWTH], to which the parallel, "flames of fire," answers. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 66:16

16. Rather, "With fire will Jehovah judge, and with His sword (He will judge) all flesh." The parallelism and collocation of the Hebrew words favor this (Isaiah 65:12). all flesh—that is, all who are the objects of His wrath. The godly shall be hidden by the Lord in a place of safety away from the scene of judgment (Isaiah 26:20; Isaiah 26:21; Psalms 31:20; 1 Thessalonians 4:16; 1 Thessalonians 4:17). read more
