F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 63:10-19

Salvation Obstructed by Rebellion Isaiah 63:10-19 The exhortation of the Apostle against grieving the Holy Spirit is based on Isaiah 63:10 . See Ephesians 4:30 . There is no limit to the gracious work which the Holy Spirit will do in and for us, if only we will take jealous care of our behavior toward Him. Be especially heedful about thy speech! The least uncharitableness hurts Him, as frost the spring-blossoms. But God never forgets the blessed past and labors to restore it. See what He... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 63:1-19

The last section of Isaiah (63-66) sets forth anew the operation of the principle of discrimination. All the blessing which has been described can result only from holiness, and ere that can be established there must be the period of judgment. In the first section the prophet describes the Warrior returning from the conflict. While that conflict is described, it is from the standpoint of its completion. One is seen returning with crimson garments, marching in the greatness of His strength. In... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 63:7-19

The Response of Jacob Through Isaiah (Isaiah 63:7 to Isaiah 64:12 ). In response to the glory and fierceness of the One Who is coming Isaiah, fearfully aware of what the future might hold, especially in the light of the revelations given to him, and knowing the spiritual condition of his own people, brings God into remembrance of what He has done for His people in the past. He draws out how He has chosen them and through them brought great glory to His name, and then pleads for Him to act... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 63:15

‘Look down from heaven, And behold from the habitation of your holiness and of your glory. Where is your zeal and your mighty acts? The yearnings of your bowels and of your compassions are restrained towards me.’ Isaiah points out that now in contrast to what He has done before, Yahweh’s activity towards them appears to have ceased. Let Him look down from heaven, from the place where He dwells, the place where His holiness and glory dwell, and consider. Where now is evidence of His zeal? Where... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 63:15-19

Isaiah 63:15 to Isaiah 64:9 . A Fervent Prayer to Yahweh to Intervene again for His Children.— The appeal rings like a litany, reminding Yahweh, who has withdrawn into His glorious heavenly palace, of His former compassion. To Abraham and Israel appeal has been made in vain (some approach to ancestor-worship seems to have been prevalent), but Yahweh is their father and redeemer. His severity has sent them wandering even further away, and hardened their heart so that they cannot “ fear Him,” ... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 63:15

Look down from heaven: now they, or the prophet, begin to pray, and expostulate with God, and to argue both from the goodness of his nature, and from the greatness of his works that he had done. God sees every where and every thing, but he is said to look down from heaven, because there is his throne, whereon he sits in great majesty and splendour. Behold is added to note that he would not only barely see and look on, but that he would behold with regard, and respect his poor people in... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Isaiah 63:1-19

By Chuck SmithNow before the restoration, the day of God's wrath is coming, the Great Tribulation. This must precede it. And chapter 63, the first six verses go into the Great Tribulation period. And there are two questions that are asked and they are answered by the Lord.Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? ( Isaiah 63:1 )The question: who is this that is coming from Edom with the dyed garment from Bozrah? And the answer:this that is glorious in his apparel,... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 63:1-19

Isaiah 63:1 . With dyed garments from Bozrah. Not the Bozrah in Moab, but Bozrah, the capital of Idumea. Perhaps it was because Judas Maccabeus slaughtered twenty thousand of them in one battle, that certain Jews, followed by many Christians, have erroneously understood this passage of that prince. But there was a gate in Jerusalem called the gate of Bozrah, through which the Saviour might pass when sent by Pilate to Herod. The answer to the question is given by the Messiah. I that speak... read more
