F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 65:13-25

a New Earth for God’s Servants Isaiah 65:13-25 Notice the wide difference that religion makes to the soul. The children of God are secured against the evils which visit all others. They eat; they drink; they rejoice; they sing; they are called by another name, Isaiah 65:13-15 . Behold a new creation, Isaiah 65:17-25 ! The present dispensation is ended. Jerusalem, restored to her former glory, sings for very joy; and her rejoicing sends a thrill of joy through the nature of God. Long... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 65:1-25

In this chapter we have a graphic description of the working of the principle of discrimination, the sifting of the people by God. There is first a contrast between the false and the true. The rebellious people are described as those who, in spite of all Jehovah's patience, still persist in idolatrous and evil practices. Against these Jehovah is compelled to proceed in strict and severe judgment. Then follows a description of the remnant, the holy seed, those who are described as the servants... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 65:24

‘O THOU THAT HEAREST PRAYER!’‘Before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will bear.’ Isaiah 65:24 I. Consider how great degrees of love and anxiety for us are expressed in these few words.—The Almighty Lord of heaven and earth represents Himself as watching with anxiety the hearts and consciences of us His creatures, His sinful creatures! II. The question, then, which concerns us to put impartially to our consciences is, Whether we do habitually endeavour to... read more

THE COMING OF THE NEW HEAVENS AND THE NEW EARTH (Isaiah 65:13 to Isaiah 66:24 ). The final vision of Isaiah centres on the fact that there will be a new heaven and a new earth. Old things will pass away and all things will become new, just as he has constantly promised. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 65:24

God promised, Isaiah 58:9, to answer them when they called; here he promiseth to be so ready to answer, as to answer the words as soon as they should be formed in their hearts, before they should get them out of their lips, Psalms 32:5; Daniel 10:12; yea, while they were speaking, Daniel 9:20,Daniel 9:23; Acts 10:44. Nor doth God say only they shall have the things they would have, (for so wicked men may sometimes have from the bountiful hand of Divine Providence,) but they shall have them as... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 65:24

SPEEDY BLESSINGIsaiah 65:24. Before they call I will answer.Divine generosity outruns human petitions. The promise here so graciously given is illustrated practically by many instances recorded in Scripture. And many devout Christians can attest a similar readiness.I. The condition of speedy blessing. From the language of the text it is plain that the promise is limited to those who—1. Are conscious of need; and 2. Recognise that such need can be supplied only from a Divine source.II. The... read more

William Nicoll

Sermon Bible Commentary - Isaiah 65:24

Isaiah 65:24 I. Consider how great degrees of love and anxiety for us are expressed in these few words. The Almighty Lord of heaven and earth represents Himself as watching with anxiety the hearts and consciences of us His creatures, His sinful creatures; as listening after any, the least, expression of penitence, so it be sincere; as having joy in any expressions of returning love in the cold and hardened heart. When we reflect on this, when we consider what forbearance and parental anxiety... read more

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Isaiah 65:24

DISCOURSE: 1022THE EFFICACY OF PRAYERIsaiah 65:24. It shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.THERE is scarcely any thing less justly appreciated than the efficacy of prayer. As a Christian community, we acknowledge the duty of prayer; but we regard it rather as a service to be performed by us, than as a privilege conferred by God. In public worship, we are satisfied with milking the responses that are put into our mouths, without... read more

Chapter 65Now God answers the prayer offered by the remnant of the people and He said,I am sought of them that asked not for me ( Isaiah 65:1 );Here's the remnant of the Jewish people calling to God. "If You've forsaken us, won't You remember us?" and all this. And God answers them and He says, "I am sought of them that asked not for Me."I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name. I have spread out my hands all the day to a... read more
