F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 65:1-12

a Seed Rescued from Destruction Isaiah 65:1-12 The prophet now enumerates the reasons that forced the Lord to turn aside from the Chosen People, and call in the Gentiles to occupy the place and perform the mission which they had despised and forfeited. Paul makes memorable reference to this passage. See Romans 10:20-21 . Their gardens were scenes of debauchery; their altars were covered by polluting engravings; they practiced necromancy in the graveyards, and ate swine’s flesh, Isaiah 65:3-4... 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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 65:2-7

The Majority Of His People Will Reject Him For Their Idols And Will Receive Their Just Punishment (Isaiah 65:2-7 ). On the other hand those who do claim to be called by His name, but are hypocritical, will be rejected and punished because of their unfaithfulness and idolatry. Isaiah 65:2 “I have spread out my hands all the day, To a rebellious people, Who walk in a way that is not good, After their own thoughts.’ In contrast with those in Isaiah 65:1 are these who have been the constant... read more

Isaiah 65:1-Judges : . Retribution Awaits those who Cling to the Old Ritual Practices and Refuse to Adhere to the Reformed Religion.— Yahweh declares His readiness to respond to this people, but they would not approach Him or call upon ( mg., cf. VSS) His name. “ I made,” He says, “ unceasing entreaty to them, unruly as they were, but they steadfastly adhered to their own evil ways, insulting Me in My own holy city by their grove-worship and incense-burning. They pass the night among the... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 65:3

A people that provoketh me to anger: that the Jews are the people here intended is without question; the prophet, speaking of the calling of the Gentiles upon their rejection, reckons up their sins which were the causes. For though their rejecting and crucifying of Christ was that sin which was the proximate cause; yet God did but visit on that generation their iniquities, and the iniquities of their fathers together, they having by that act filled up their measure. They had provoked God... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Isaiah 65:1-25

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
