F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 27:1-13

God’s Care for His Vineyard Isaiah 27:1-13 Throughout these chapters we must remember that the doom of Babylon and the restoration of God’s people are symbolical of other events, for which the world is preparing. Then Babylon the Great shall give place to the Holy City, which comes down out of heaven from God. Egypt and Babylon are represented by the leviathan, a general term applicable to any great water animal. The one had its Nile, the other its Euphrates. Parallel with the destruction of... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 27:1-13

This circle of prophecy ends with a message which describes the process toward ultimate restoration, and announces its certainty. The way to restoration is the way of judgment, and this the prophet first announces in figurative language. The first issue of judgment will be restoration of God's chosen people, and the prophet refers to this under the figure of the vineyard. This figure stands in striking contrast to that in chapter five. The vineyard of the Lord of hosts is now seen as kept by... read more

James Nisbet

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 27:8

TROUBLES DIVINELY ADAPTED‘He stayeth His rough wind in the day of the east wind.’ Isaiah 27:8 Two somewhat distinct meanings may be attached to these words. They may mean that two evil winds cannot blow in full force together. If they blow together, there is a chastening of the evil influence of both winds. Or the prophet may be referring to the same wind, by the words ‘rough wind’ and ‘east wind,’ and he may mean simply to imply that every strong wind God restrains. Whichever view you take... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 27:7-9

Yahweh Has Had Compassion On His People, For Even In The Past He Has Not Treated Israel As Badly As They Deserved (Isaiah 27:7-9 ). Yahweh has not smitten His people as severely as He has smitten others, nor has He slaughtered them with the same severity. In His treatment of her (as with a wife, compare Isaiah 50:1) He will contend with her in measured fashion, by removing her (bringing about a separation with her) through one who comes from the East (Assyria) like a strong wind. And by means... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 27:7-11

Isaiah 27:7-1 Kings : . Israel’ s Gentle Chastisement and the Terms on which it may be Pardoned.— This is an insertion out of connexion with the context, and it does not itself hang well together. The writer asks, Has Yahweh punished Israel as severely as He has punished Israel’ s oppressors? No, for Israel’ s oppressors have been slain, while Israel has been simply driven forth into exile. Israel’ s guilt may be removed on condition that false worship is given up. The city is deserted, the... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 27:8

In measure; with moderation, in certain proportions which God meteth out and fitteth to their strength. When it shooteth forth; when the vine shooteth forth its luxuriant branches, he, like the vine-dresser, cutteth them off, but so as not to spoil or destroy the vine. Or, as divers interpreters render it, and the word properly and frequently signifies, in or by casting, or dismissing, or sending her or it out; or, when thou dost cast or send her out, to wit, out of her own land, in which she... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 27:7-9

THE AFFLICTIONS OF GOD’S PEOPLEIsaiah 27:7-9. Hath He smitten him as He smote his smiter, or was he slain as his slayers were slain? In exact measure, when dismissing her, Thou didst contend with her; He scared her away with His rough blast in the day of the east wind. Therefore on these terms [or, hereby] shall the guilt of Jacob be purged, and this shall be all the fruit of taking away his sin, when he maketh all the altar-stones like lime-stones dashed in pieces, that Ashérahs and sun-images... read more

Joseph Exell

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 27:8

THE STORMS OF LIFEIsaiah 27:8. In measure when it shooteth forth, &c.I. There is a special appropriateness in comparing the trials of life to storms. 1. Storms are the exceptions and not the normal or common condition of the atmosphere. “In the world ye shall have tribulation.” True; but Christ in saying so does not assert that we shall have tribulation only. “Man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.” Yes; but it is not said that there is nothing but trouble. “Through much... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Isaiah 27:8

Isaiah 27:8 Two somewhat distinct meanings may be attached to these words. They may mean that two evil winds cannot blow in full force together. If they blow together, there is a chastening of the evil influence of both winds. Or the prophet may be referring to the same wind, by the words "rough wind" and "east wind," and he may mean simply to imply that every strong wind God restrains. Whichever view you take of the passage, the great truths presented by it are the same. The subject is the... read more

Chapter 27:In that day ( Isaiah 27:1 )Now what day?
