イザヤ書 33:11-22 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 33:7-12

THE PROPHET ENTERS FURTHER INTO PARTICULARS . Having "sketched the main outlines of his revelation," Isaiah proceeds to "fill in and apply the details" (Cheyne). He first describes the despair and low condition of Judah: the men of war wailing aloud; the ambassadors just returned kern Laehish weeping at the ill success of their embassy; all travelling stopped; the land wasted and made a desert; the Assyrians still ravaging and destroying, despite the peace which had been made ( 2... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 33:7-12

The uprising of Jehovah. I. HIS UPRISING IS A FIGURE OF PROVIDENTIAL INTERPOSITION . There are times when he seems to be still, seated, and looking on, and the course of events to defy his will ( Isaiah 18:4 ). Men cry, "How long, O Lord? Awake, stir thyself up to deliver!" But he knows his own time; he is not a day too soon, nor too late. When the hour of providence has struck, the scene instantly changes. " Now will I rise; now I will lift up myself!" It is not for us... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 33:10-16

In the presence of the Holy One. The great question which, in a somewhat different form from that of the text, Balak proposed to Balaam ( Micah 6:6 ) is one that has always stirred the hearts of men everywhere and in all ages. We must find an answer to it if we are to enjoy any "rest unto our souls." I. THE THRICE - HOLY LORD OUR GOD . That which makes God's intervening purpose ( Isaiah 33:10 ) so serious to his creatures is that when he arises he will be found to be as... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 33:11

Ye shall conceive chaff . The Assyrian plans against Jerusalem shall be mere "chaff" and " stubble ." They shall come to naught. Nay, the fury of the foe against Jerusalem shall be the fire to destroy them. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 33:12

The people ; rather, the peoples , as in Isaiah 33:3 ; i.e. the nations composing the Assyrian army. As the burnings of lime; as thorns . Things that fire consumes utterly and quickly. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 33:13

Hear, ye that are far off , etc. Jehovah speaks by the mouth of his prophet, and calls on the nations of the earth, far and near, to consider and acknowledge his might, as shown in his judgment on Assyria (comp. Exodus 15:14-16 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 33:13-16

Living near to God. Jehovah has uprisen; he has revealed his might in the destruction of the Assyrian host; he calls through the prophet upon all the nations to acknowledge him. I. THE AWFULNESS OF GOD . We see it reflected from the horror-struck faces of the ungodly and the profane, He is indeed seen to be a "consuming Fire," having his "furnace in Jerusalem" ( Isaiah 31:1-9 :19). And all the immoral and the unprincipled, the heedless and the worldly, feel themselves as fuel... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 33:13-24

REFLECTIONS ON ASSYRIA 'S OVERTHROW VIEWED AS ACCOMPLISHED . The prophet's first thought is , how wonderfully the overthrow has manifested the might of God ( Isaiah 33:13 ). Next, how it must thrill with fear the hearts of the wicked among his people ( Isaiah 33:14 ). Thirdly, how the righteous are by it placed in security, and can look back with joy to their escape, and can with confidence look forward to a future of happiness and tranquil lily ( Isaiah 33:15-24 ).... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 33:14

The sinners in Zion are afraid . The prophet proceeds to speak in his own person. The judgment on Assyria, he says, cannot but strike terror into the hearts of the immoral and irreligious in Zion. They cannot fail to realize their own danger, and to tremble at it. Who among us , they will say, can dwell with the devouring fire ? Who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings ? They will recognize God as "a consuming Fire" ( Deuteronomy 4:24 ), whose next outbreak may be upon... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 33:14

Who can stand the testing fires? The terms "devouring fire," "everlasting burnings," do not mean hell; they mean God in visible, material judgments, such as may be symbolized by the destruction of the Assyrian army; and such as the presence of that army became to the people of Jerusalem. The appeal of Isaiah seems to be this: See the fright into which the people have fallen at the presence of this hostile army. See who has been calm and strong in this hour of national peril. How, then, would... read more
