Expositor's Bible Commentary - Isaiah 27:1-13

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

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Isaiah 27:1-13

CHAPTER 27 Israel’s Enemies Overthrown and the Great Restoration 1. Assyria, Babylon and Egypt punished (Isaiah 27:1 ) 2. What Jehovah has done and will do (Isaiah 27:2-11 ) 3. The vineyard established and the glorious consummation (Isaiah 27:12-13 ) This is a fitting finale to the second section of this book. Israel’s chief enemies are indicated by the leviathan, the serpent and the dragon. Behind them stands the serpent and the dragon, Satan. When these enemies are overthrown and... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Isaiah 27:8

27:8 In {h} measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind.(h) That is, you will not destroy the root of your Church, though the branches of it seem to perish by the sharp wind of affliction. read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Isaiah 27:1-13

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 27:1-13

The Use of the Rough Wind Isa 27:8 Many comforting discourses have been preached from this text Men eagerly seize consolation, whether it flows from the text, or is imported into it. Why this eager grasping after comfort? Simply because all men need it Look upon the largest congregation that can assemble, and any wise preacher who has had experience of his work will know that in the crowd that throngs around him are people with broken hearts, or are sensible of disappointment, anxiety, fear,... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 27:6-10

All these are so many different expressions, to intimate that the Lord's mercy to his people is all of grace, and not for their deserts. The Lord watcheth over them for good; but it is for the exaltation of his free grace. read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Isaiah 27:8

Cast off. When the synagogue shall be cast off, thou shalt judge it in measure, and in proportion to its crimes. (Challoner) --- The Israelites have been rigorously punished. (Calmet) --- He, &c. God hath designed severe punishments in the day of his wrath. (Challoner) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 27:6-13

6-13 In the days of the gospel, the latter days, the gospel church shall be more firmly fixed than the Jewish church, and shall spread further. May our souls be continually watered and kept, that we may abound in the fruits of the Spirit, in all goodness, righteousness, and truth. The Jews yet are kept a separate and a numerous people; they have not been rooted out as those who slew them. The condition of that nation, through so many ages, forms a certain proof of the Divine origin of the... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Isaiah 27:7-13

The Gathering of the Church v. 7. Hath He, Jehovah, in His visitation of mercy, smitten him, Israel, His people, as He smote those that smote him? literally, "with the stroke of his smiter," after the manner of the enemies who vented their spite upon Israel, or is he slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him? v. 8. In measure, when it shooteth forth, Thou wilt debate with it, literally, "in a small measure [that of a seah ], by sending her away, Thou punishest her,"... read more
