James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Isaiah 12:1-6

JUDGMENT ON ASSYRIA The verses intervening since the last lesson apply to Israel, and are comparatively unimportant; but at Isaiah 10:5 a discourse begins concerning Assyria, running continuously to the close of chapter twelve. Assyria, an ally of Judah, is to become her enemy, but the chastisement she is to inflict on Judah is in the divine purpose, up to a certain point (Isaiah 10:5-6 ). Assyria’s motive is not the divine glory, however, but her own aggrandizement, which leads her to go... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Isaiah 12:1-6

Wells of Salvation Isaiah 12:0 It is time we had a hymn in this prophecy of Isaiah, for the reading has been like a succession of thunderstorms and earthquakes. Now and then there has been a bright line, and once indeed the very name Immanuel appeared; but taking the preceding eleven chapters as a whole, we seem to remember little but rain and storm and sword and battle, and shaking of things strong and mighty. It is curious how the song always comes in at the right time in this revelation of... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 12:3

There is a great beauty in some of our old Bibles, which express this phrase of drawing water, as if it were out of the wells of the Saviour. Everything of grace is fetched by faith from Christ, and is in Christ. Ordinances are nothing without Jesus; and it is Christ himself; and not means of grace, however pure they are in themselves, that are the fountain and well of the soul. Hence the Church sings: A fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon is my beloved! Song... read more

Israel's Song of Its Redemption. v. 1. And In that day, when the redemption of the spiritual Israel, of the Church of Christ, shall be completed, thou shalt say, the Church Triumphant breaking forth in a paean of praise, O Lord, I will praise Thee; though Thou wast angry with me, in a just wrath over the natural sinfulness of those whose redemption was perfected, Thine anger is turned away, through the atonement made by Christ, and Thou comfortest me, the fact of the salvation gained in... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Isaiah 12:3

Isaiah THE WELL-SPRING OF SALVATION Isa_12:3 . There are two events separated from each other by more than fifteen hundred years which have a bearing upon this prophecy: the one supplied the occasion for its utterance, the other claimed to be its interpretation and its fulfilment. The first of these is that scene familiar to us all, where the Israelites in the wilderness murmured for want of water, and the law-giver, being at his wits’ end what to do with his troublesome charges, took his... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 12:1-6

a Song of Thanksgiving Isaiah 11:10-16 ; Isaiah 12:1-6 The prophet’s vision extends. He has seen the effect of redemption, as it emanates from Jesus Christ, upon the whole physical creation; now he beholds also the ingathering of all Israel. The ancient enmity between Ephraim and Judah would pass away. As Paul puts it afterward, “All Israel shall be saved,” Romans 11:25-26 . As they were brought out of Egypt, so shall they be brought from all the countries of the world, where they have... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 12:1-6

Here we have the songs of the people concerning the deliverances wrought by the victories of Jehovah. The first celebrates the personal blessings of the day described, while the second sets forth the gracious results to the peoples of the world issuing from the restoration of the people of God. These great and glorious prophecies are not yet fulfilled, but they are as certain of fulfillment as every word of God is sure. read more
