イザヤ書 65:20-27 JC

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 65:23

They shall not … bring forth for trouble. Their women shall not bear children to see them carried off after a few days, or months, or years, by disease, or accident, or famine, or the sword of the invader. There shall be an end of such "troubles," and, God's blessing resting upon those who are his children, their children shall, as a general rule, "be with them;" i.e. remain to them during their lifetime, and not be lost to them by a premature decease. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 65:23

Requited toil. "They shall not labour in vain." This is God's comfort to all his faithful servants. Success is not to be measured by our sight, or by the statistics and seemings of superficial men. I. HARVESTS ARE SOMETIMES LONG DELAYED . It has been so in our foreign mission fields, and it is so often here at home in our Christian Churches, and it is so in our families. But the Divine seed only "slumbers;" it does not "perish." Harvests often sprout in greenness and wave in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 65:24

Before they call, I will answer . God is always "more ready to hear than we to pray." In the "new Jerusalem" he will be prompt to answer his people's prayers almost before they are uttered. It is involved in this, as Delitzsch notes, that the will of the people shall be in harmony with the will of Jehovah, and that their prayers will therefore be acceptable prayers. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 65:24

The Divine readiness. Man is slow to respond. 1 . His limited intelligence makes him slow to apprehend what is needed. 2 . His imperfect sensibility makes him slow to feel the urgency of the need. 3 . His feebleness of execution makes him slow to inter.pose and to effect. God is not under these limitations. His perfect readiness is seen in— I. HIS ANTICIPATION OF OUR NECESSITIES . Providing this world for our habitation; preparing its soil and its seed;... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 65:24

Swift answers to prayer. The answer comes even when the prayer is but a thought, is only a sigh; for God is the Infinite Thought-reader. "Prayer is the burden of a sigh, The failing of a tear; The upward glancing of an eye. When none but God is near." One of the wonderful revelations of the day that is coming will be God's showing us the many answers he sent to prayers of ours that never took shape in human words, that were no more than the outlook and uplook of our souls. The... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 65:25

The wolf and the lamb shall feed together (comp. Isaiah 11:6-8 ; Hosea 2:18 ). The portraiture here is far less elaborate than in the earlier chapter, to which the present passage may be regarded as a refer-once. (For the sense in which the entire picture is to be understood, see the comment upon Isaiah 11:6-9 ). Dust shall be the serpent's meat. Here we have a new feature, not contained in the earlier description. Serpents shall become harmless, anal instead of preying upon... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 65:20

There shall be no more thence - The Septuagint, the Syriac, and the Vulgate, read this, ‘There shall not be there.’ The change requires the omission of a single letter in the present Hebrew text, and the sense seems to demand it. The design of the prophet here is, to describe the times of happiness and prosperity which would succeed the calamities under which the nation had been suffering. This he does by a great variety of images, all denoting substantially the same thing. In Isaiah 65:17, the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 65:22

They shall not build, and another inhabit - Every man shall enjoy the avails of his labor.For as the days I of a tree are the days of my people - That is, in that future time, such shall be the length of the lives of the people (see Isaiah 65:21). The Septuagint renders this, ‘The days of the tree of life.’ The Syriac, ‘As the days of trees.’ The Chaldee as the Septuagint. The idea is, that the lives of his people would be greatly prolonged (see the notes at Isaiah 65:20). A tree is among the... read more

They shall not labor in vain - That is, either because their land shall be unfruitful, or because others shall plunder them.Nor bring forth for trouble - Lowth renders this, ‘Neither shall they generate a short-lived race.’ Noyes, ‘Nor bring forth children for an early death.’ The Septuagint renders it, Οὐδὲ τεκνοποιήσουσιν εἰς κατάραν Oude teknopoiēsousin eis kataran - ‘Nor shall they bring forth children for a curse.’ The Chaldee, ‘Nor shall they nourish them for death.’ There can be no... read more
