Isaiah 51:5 NIV

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Isaiah 51:1-23

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

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 51:4-6

Here is another gracious call of the Lord, full of mercy and love, like the former; seemingly directed to those who have not only sought the Lord, but are joined in covenant to him, and know him. The Prophet Jeremiah hath described them under these characters, Jeremiah 50:4-5 . How truly blessed is the Lord's proclamation to all such! God owns them for his people: to them belong the whole of gospel privileges; and as all the promises in Christ Jesus are their own, because Christ is their own;... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 51:4-8

4-8 The gospel of Christ shall be preached and published. How shall we escape if we neglect it? There is no salvation without righteousness. The soul shall, as to this world, vanish like smoke, and the body be thrown by like a worn-out garment. But those whose happiness is in Christ's righteousness and salvation, will have the comfort of it when time and days shall be no more. Clouds darken the sun, but do not stop its course. The believer will enjoy his portion, while revilers of Christ are in... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Isaiah 51:1-11

The Certainty of Deliverance v. 1. Hearken unto Me, ye that follow after righteousness, earnestly seeking to obtain it, ye that seek the Lord, in true repentance over their sins, as yet not daring to show a happy faith; look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, namely, Abraham, before the promise of the Lord regarding the birth of Isaac was fulfilled, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged, this cistern of the rock being Sarah, as the context shows. The nation of Israel was called... read more

III.—THE THIRD DISCOURSEThe Final Redemption of Israel. A Dialogue between the Servant of Jehovah who appears as one veiled, Israel, Jehovah Himself and the ProphetIsaiah 51:0This chapter speaks of high and mighty things. We hear four persons speak one after the other. Each of the speakers from his view-point announces what he has to produce in reference to the chief subject. The Servant of God, appearing significantly veiled, presents to Israel the condition of its redemption (Isaiah 51:1-8).... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 51:1-11

“Awake, O Arm of Jehovah!” Isaiah 51:1-11 This chapter is extremely dramatic. We are conscious that we are nearing a revelation of unparalleled sublimity. As we hear the thrice Hearken in Isaiah 1:1-8 , and the thrice Awake , Isaiah 51:9 , which follows, we realize that we are traversing the entrance portico of a noble temple. When God says, Hearken , it is for us to ask Him to fulfill- Awake ! Recall the loneliness of Abraham. “He was but one!” Terah died, Lot dropped away, Hagar was... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 51:1-23

Three messages to the faithful immediately follow. The first is a call to courage (verses Isa 51:1-8 ), in which they are charged to look back to Abraham, to look on to the nearness of God's activity, to look around and be without fear in the presence of opposition. The next is a cry of courage (verses Isa 51:9-11 ), in which they first look up to the arm of the Lord, and then look back and remember how He has delivered, and, finally, look on in the assurance that He will deliver. The last... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 51:1-23

Chapter 51 Exhortations To The People To Respond To God. We now have here three remarkable calls to faithful Israel, ‘listen’ (Isaiah 51:1) - ‘attend’ (Isaiah 51:4) - ‘listen’ (Isaiah 51:7). They have heard the voice of the Servant (Isaiah 50:10), now it is open to them to respond. And how are they to appreciate the truth about the Servant? They are to look back to Abraham, and to recognise how when he was but one God blessed him and made him many, and then they are to recognise in this new... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 51:4-6

God’s Or The Servant’s Call To His True People To Consider His Everlasting Salvation (Isaiah 51:4-6 ). His people are not just to listen, they must also pay heed. They must ‘pay attention’ to His instruction which will come through His Servant as a light to the peoples (compare Isaiah 42:6; Isaiah 49:6; and see Isaiah 2:2-4). They must respond to the salvation that He brings, which is both for Israel and for the Gentiles. Isaiah 51:4-5 “Attend to me, O my people, And give ear to me, O my... read more
