Expositor's Bible Commentary - Isaiah 25:1-12

CHAPTER XXIXGOD’S POORDATE UNCERTAINIsaiah 25:1-12; Isaiah 26:1-21; Isaiah 27:1-13WE have seen that no more than the faintest gleam of historical reflection brightens the obscurity of chapter 24, and that the disaster which lowers there is upon too world-wide a scale to be forced within the conditions of any single period in the fortunes of Israel. In chapters 25-27, which may naturally be held to be a continuation of chapter 24, the historical allusions are more numerous. Indeed, it might be... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Isaiah 25:6-9

19CHAPTER XXXTHE RESURRECTIONIsaiah 26:14-19; Isaiah 25:6-9GRANTED the pardon, the justice, the Temple and the God, which the returning exiles now enjoyed, the possession of these only makes more painful the shortness of life itself. This life is too shallow and too frail a vessel to hold peace and righteousness and worship and the love of God. St. Paul has said, "If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable." What avails it to have been pardoned, to have... read more

CHAPTER 25 Israel’s Praise and the Blessings of the Kingdom 1. The praise of the delivered nation (Isaiah 25:1-5 ) 2. The blessing for all nations during the Kingdom (Isaiah 25:6-8 ) 3.

Geneva Study Bible - Isaiah 25:7

25:7 And he will destroy on this mountain {i} the face of the covering cast over all people, and the veil that is spread over all nations.(i) Meaning, that ignorance and blindness, by which we are kept back from Christ. read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Isaiah 25:1-12

JUDGMENT ON GENTILE NATIONS This is a long lesson to read, but the study put upon it need not be proportioned to its length. There is a sameness in the chapters, and their contents are not unlike what we reviewed in the preceding lesson. Note the names of the nations and their contiguity to God’s chosen people. They have come in contact with their history again and again, which is why they are singled out for special mention. It will be well here to review what was said about these Gentile... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Isaiah 25:1-12

Calm After Storm Isaiah 25:0 We can only understand the highest, sweetest meaning of this chapter in proportion as we enter into the spirit of the one which precedes it. That chapter we have read and studied. It is full of clouds, and darkness, and judgment. The Lord himself seems to have yielded to the spirit of contempt, and to have held in scorn even the work of his own fingers. The sarcasm of the Lord is intolerable. His laugh, who can stand? It is a laugh of judgment; it comes after... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 25:7

Was not this blessed promise faithfully and fully completed, when, at the hour of Christ's death, by an invisible hand, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom? Mark 15:38 . Before this, the veil of ignorance, the veil of enmity, and the numberless veils of separation, which stood, and must forever have stood, between a holy God and unholy sinners, kept all people back from the smallest possible communion with God, and totally covered all people and all nations. But... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 25:6-8

6-8 The kind reception of repentant sinners, is often in the New Testament likened to a feast. The guests invited are all people, Gentiles as well as Jews. There is that in the gospel which strengthens and makes glad the heart, and is fit for those who are under convictions of sin, and mourning for it. There is a veil spread over all nations, for all sat in darkness. But this veil the Lord will destroy, by the light of his gospel shining in the world, and the power of his Spirit opening men's... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Isaiah 25:1-8

Thanksgiving for God's Benefits v. 1. Lord, Thou art my God, the God of the covenant, the God of salvation, Cf Psalms 31:15; Psalms 40:6; Psalms 143:10. I will exalt Thee, in songs of thanksgiving, I will praise Thy name, as the revelation of His wonderful essence; for Thou hast done wonderful things, Thy counsels of old, those pertaining to the deliverance of His people, are faithfulness and truth; for the Lord has kept, and is keeping, His promises concerning the redemption of mankind. ... read more
