Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 66:23

And it shall come to pass - As the prophet closes the book and winds up his whole prophecy, he directs the attention to that future period which had occupied so much of his attention in vision, when the whole world should be acquainted with the true religion, and all nations should worship Yahweh. Of such a book there could be no more appropriate close; and such a contemplation especially became the last prophetic moments of the ‘evangelical prophet’ Isaiah.From one new moon to another -... read more

Isaiah 66:22-23. For as the new heavens, &c. The new state of the church to be raised up under the Messiah; shall remain before me Unalterable. As the gospel dispensation is to be continued till the end of time, and not to be succeeded by any other; as it shall therefore remain, because it is before me, under my eye, my care, and special protection; so shall your seed and your name remain A seed of ministers, a seed of Christians.

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 66:22

"For as the new heavens and the earth which I will make, shall remain before me, saith Jehovah, so shall your seed and your name remain. And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith Jehovah.

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 66:22

Isaiah 66:22. For as the new heavens, &c.— This conclusion connects not only with the preceding period, but with the argument of the two former sections, as well as with the whole book, with respect to its principal scope. For, what scope and end, not only of this book, but of the whole prophetic word, can be fixed upon more properly, than to set forth the history and events of the true church, and its adversaries, both in this mortal life, and in futurity? We may therefore affix a very... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 66:23

Isaiah 66:23. And it shall come to pass— The meaning is, that in consequence of the creating and perfecting of these new heavens and new earth; that is to say, of establishing this new and spiritual oeconomy; all men at length throughout the world, acknowledging and embracing the true religion, should with great zeal, at the stated times, publicly worship and adore God, and that with spiritual worship. For God is a spirit and they who worship him acceptably under the new covenant, must worship... read more
