イザヤ書 19:22-25 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 19:25

Lights in which God regards us. The words intimate that there are various aspects in which the Divine Father looks at his human children, and they may suggest reciprocal views on our part. I. LIGHTS IN WHICH GOD REGARDS US . 1. As those to whom he is nearly related . Egypt in her hour of obedience has become "my people," i.e. closely connected with God, and having, therefore, serious claims upon him. God does regard his own as those who are most closely, most... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 19:25

All nations belonging unto God. This is a singular and even surprising expression. These nations were idolatrous, and they came under severe Divine judgments, and yet God claims them as his, and even declares his favor towards them, using the same terms concerning Egypt and Assyria as concerning his own people Israel, and saying, "Blessed is my people Egypt, and the work of my hands Assyria, and mine inheritance Israel." 'Speaker's Commentary' says, "The widespread influence of the Jews over... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 19:22

And the Lord shall smite Egypt - That is, in the manner described in the previous part of this prophecy Isaiah 19:2-10.And heal it - Or restore it to more than its former splendor and prosperity, as described in the previous verses Isaiah 19:18-20. He shall send it a saviour; he shall open new sources of prosperity; and he shall cause the true religion to flourish there. These advantages would be more than a compensation for all the calamities that he would bring upon it.And they shall return... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 19:23

There shall be a highway - A communication; that is, there shall be an alliance between Egypt and Assyria, as constituting parts of one empire, and as united in the service of the true God. The same figure of a “highway” is found in Isaiah 11:16 (see the note on that place). The truth was, that Alexander, by his conquests, subjected Assyria and Egypt, and they constituted parts of his empire, and were united under him. It was true, also, that there were large numbers of Jews in both these... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 19:24

In that day shall Israel be the third - That is, the three shall be united as one people. Instead of being rival, hostile, and contending kingdoms, they shall be united and friendly; and instead of having different and jarring religions, they shall all worship the same God. The prophecy rather refers to the spread of the true religion, and the worship of the true God, than to a political or civil alliance.Even a blessing - It shall be a source of blessing, because from Judea the true religion... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 19:25

whom the Lord of hosts shall bless - That is, which united country he shall acknowledge as truly worshipping him, and on which he shall bestow his favors as his favored people.Assyria the work of my hands - This is synonymous with the expression ‘my people.’ It means that the arrangements by which the true religion would be established among them, were the work of God. Conversion to God is everywhere in the Scriptures spoken of as his work, or creation; see Ephesians 2:10 : ‘For we are his... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 19:20-22

Isaiah 19:20-22. And it shall be for a sign Namely, the altar or pillar, last mentioned; and for a witness unto the Lord of hosts To testify that they own the Lord for their God. For they shall cry unto the Lord because of their oppressors Being sorely distressed, and finding that their idols are unable to help them, they shall turn unto the true God. And he shall send them a saviour, and a great one In these words the prophet sets forth the cause of this happy change in Egypt, with... read more

Isaiah 19:23-25. In that day, &c. Here the prophet proceeds to show the effect of this benefit of divine grace toward the Egyptians, namely, their spiritual alliance with the Assyrians and Israelites, with a great abundance of the divine blessings. There shall be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria A happy correspondence and intercourse settled. And the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, &c. They who were implacable enemies one to another, and both to the church of God, shall now be... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 19:1-25

Egypt’s punishment and conversion (19:1-25)At various times Judah was tempted to rely on Egypt for help against aggressors. Isaiah shows in this message how useless such reliance is. He pictures the day when God acts against Egypt, and sees that all Egypt’s magic and all her gods cannot save her. Civil war breaks out, followed by the harsh rule of a dictator (19:1-4).Drought causes the Nile, Egypt’s only water supply, to dry up. This ruins the nation’s farming, fishing and cotton industries,... read more
