JUDAH AND EGYPT These chapters make a unit since, with the exception of the opening part of chapter 28, they chiefly deal with Judah’s futile alliance with Egypt. Isaiah 28:0 Israel, or the kingdom of the ten tribes, is addressed under the name of her leading tribe “Ephraim” (Isaiah 28:1 ). Her great sin is strong drink. “The head of the fat valley” is Samaria the capital, which is soon to be overthrown by the Assyrians (Isaiah 28:2-4 ). Observe, however, the usual forecast of the end of the... read more
Prophetic Warnings Isaiah 31-33 Remember that. If on hearing that you choose to trust to Egypt, so be it; only, walk in the light, understand your position, make your choice deliberately, and abide by it. All that the Bible, a revelation from God, can do is to make distinctions, announce issues, address appeals to reason and to conscience, and there even an inspired volume ends its labour. The people imagined that Egypt was a sanctuary: the prophet said, It is so, in a very temporary and... read more
If the Prophet be here speaking of general things, the whole will be suited to all times, in the Church. God's faithfulness is the same: the efficacy of Christ's blood and righteousness, the same: and the blessed effect of both, the same, on the minds of the people. When Jehovah ariseth in grace upon the hearts of his redeemed, how is he exalted in glory to their view! read more

1-14 Here we have the proud and false destroyer justly reckoned with for all his fraud and violence. The righteous God often pays sinners in their own coin. Those who by faith humbly wait for God, shall find him gracious to them; as the day, so let the strength be. If God leaves us to ourselves any morning, we are undone; we must every morning commit ourselves to him, and go forth in his strength to do the work of the day. When God arises, his enemies are scattered. True wisdom and knowledge... read more
The Punishment Strikes the Adversary v. 1. Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled, the hostility of the Assyrian invader being a type of the world-power's enmity toward the Church of God; and dealest treacherously, in invading the country for the purpose of robbery, and they dealt not treacherously with thee, the hostile act being altogether unprovoked. When thou shalt cease to spoil, when the measure of damage which the plans of God included had been reached, thou shalt be... read more
3. WHERE NEED IS GREATEST HELP IS NEARESTIsaiah 33:7-127 Behold, their 7valiant ones shall cry without:The ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly.8 The highways lie waste,The wayfaring man ceaseth:He hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities,He regardeth no man.9 The earth mourneth and languisheth:Lebanon is ashamed and 8 hewn down:Sharon is like a wilderness;And Bashan and Carmel shake off their fruits.10 Now will I rise, saith the Lord;Now will I be... read more
God Exalted in Judgment Isaiah 33:1-12 Here we have the final prediction against Sennacherib. He had dealt very treacherously by returning against Jerusalem, though he had taken a heavy ransom to leave it unmolested, 2 Kings 18:16 . In Isaiah 33:2 Isaiah recalls the daily prayer offered by the priests in the Temple, when they heard of the steady advance of the foe. It was quite true that nations had fled before the dreaded Assyrian, Isaiah 33:3 ; but in this case those precedents would be... read more
