以赛亚书 54:8 CUNPSS

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Isaiah 54:1-17

THE MESSIAH REVEALED The thirty-two chapters deal particularly with the Person and work of the Messiah. Isaiah has sometimes been called the evangelical prophet because of the large space he gives to that subject a circumstance the more notable because of the silence concerning it since Moses. The explanation of this silence is hinted at in the lesson on the introduction to the prophets. In chapter 49, the Messiah speaks of Himself and the failure of His mission in His rejection by His... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Isaiah 54:1-17

God's Relation to His People Isaiah 54:0 Think of the prophet making a study of the divine relation to the Church. It will be interesting and profitably exciting to follow him in his definition of that relation. Isaiah sees everything that is spiritual with a poet's eye, everything that is political with a statesman's vision. Everything that is future and bearing upon the destiny and development of the Church he sees with that transfiguring glance which makes all common things uncommon, and... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 54:6-8

These words form a gracious continuation of the same soul-reviving promises; and all in Christ. Jesus was, and is, the husband of his church from everlasting. By the fall, a bill of divorcement was, as it were, written, and she was put away. By the interposition of his grace in redemption, she is again brought home; and now never more to be separated from her first love, but with everlasting kindness, nourished and cherished, in grace here, and glory to all eternity. Proverbs 8:22-31 ; Hosea... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 54:6-10

6-10 As God is slow to anger, so he is swift to show mercy. And how sweet the returns of mercy would be, when God should come and comfort them! He will have mercy on them. God's gathering his people takes rise from his mercy, not any merit of theirs; and it is with great mercies, with everlasting kindness. The wrath is little, the mercies great; the wrath for a moment, the kindness everlasting. We are neither to despond under afflictions, nor to despair of relief. Mountains have been shaken and... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Isaiah 54:6-10

The Lord's Promise of Eternal Love and Faithfulness v. 6. For the Lord hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, one who had been rejected and therefore sat mourning, and a wife of youth, surrounded by the love of her husband, when thou wast refused, saith thy God. This assurance was given to Zion by Him who, although He had once cast her aside, yet is her God and will forever remain her God. v. 7. For a small moment have I forsaken thee, forsaking her at a time of great... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Isaiah 54:1-17

VI.—THE SIXTH DISCOURSEThe New SalvationIsaiah 54:0The fifty-third chapter retained its ground color, black, to the end. For the Prophet purposely once again accumulated the dark images of suffering in the twelfth verse, although from Isaiah 54:8 on he had let the light of the Easter morning dawn. It is as if he designed to paint the edge of his mourning ribbon dark black, so that it might appear in sharp relief. Spite of this, chap. 54 has a close inward connection with what precedes. For was... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 54:1-17

the Wondrous Love of God Isaiah 54:1-17 We have heard the exiles summoned to leave Babylon, and have beheld the Savior becoming the sin-bearer. Here our attention is recalled to the still desolate condition of Jerusalem. See Nehemiah 1:3 ; Nehemiah 2:3 ; Nehemiah 2:13-17 . Jehovah says, Sing , but Israel replies that she cannot sing so long as she lies desolate. In reply God declares His inalienable love: He is their husband still and has sworn that the waters of death and destruction shall... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 54:1-17

We now come to the section which deals with the triumphant singing resulting from the work of the Servant of God, and this chapter is the song of assurance. It first sets forth the glorious fact of restoration. The people, forsaken on account of their own sin, are to be restored to the sacred relationship to Jehovah, in which He is the husband. The borders are to be enlarged in order that the growth of the people may find room, and all this because the end of forsaking has come. It must not be... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 54:1-10

The Restoration of God’s Erring Wife (Isaiah 54:1-10 ). In this chapter we have the gradual unfolding of the work of the Servant. God will prosper His true people in the future so that they will multiply and expand. And they must go forward in confidence with God as their Maker, experiencing His everlasting mercy until that final day when they will enjoy being with Him for ever to experience His everlasting mercy to the full. She Who Was Barren will Become Fruitful And Enjoy His Everlasting... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 54:1-17

LIV. Zion shall be Restored to her Place as Yahweh’ s Wife, Never again to be Rejected.— The poet pictures Zion as a barren wife, left desolate by her husband. Let her break into transports of joy, for Yahweh promises that her children shall yet be more than the children of a wife not deserted— so many that her tent must be enlarged. He bids her “ stretch forth her tent-hangings” (so LXX), without stint lengthening the cords and strengthening the tent-pegs to support the larger tent. For... read more
