Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 45:8

"Distill, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, that it may bring forth salvation, and let it cause righteousness to spring up together; I, Jehovah, have created it."All creation, heaven and earth alike, are summoned to rejoice together in the righteousness and glory that shall fall upon all men as a consequence of God's rescue and deliverance of His people. What a tragedy it was, however, that the rescued nation proved to be an altogether... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 45:9

"Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! A potsherd among the potsherds of the earth! Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands? Woe unto him that saith unto a father, what begettest thou? or to a woman, With what travailest thou?""That the infidel and discontented portion of the Jewish people is here intended, seems beyond dispute. No arguments could more forcibly evince the extreme arrogance and folly of creatures pretending to scan and... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 45:4-7

Isaiah 45:4-7. For Jacob my servant's sake— The prophet here gives us the reasons why God shewed such favour to a prince addicted to the Pagan superstition of his country, and ignorant of the true God; that he prospered all his undertakings, and gave success to all his enterprises. These causes were particular and general: the one respecting the Jewish nation, ver, 4, 5 the other respecting all nations, and Cyrus himself, Isaiah 45:6-7. The principal cause of this whole event is subjoined to... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 45:8

Isaiah 45:8. Drop down, ye heavens, from above— Drop down, &c. and let the clouds pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and all kinds of salvation flourish; and let righteousness shoot forth together, &c. Vitringa is of opinion, that this strongly-figurative passage refers primarily to the blessings consequent upon the deliverance from the Babylonish captivity; but secondarily, and in its more complete sense, to that righteousness and salvation liberally imparted to man by the... read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 45:9-10

Isaiah 45:9-10. Woe unto him that striveth— Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker; the potsherd with the potter: Shall the clay, &c.? The greater number of interpreters are of opinion, that this reproof refers to the impious and malevolent censurers of God among the Jewish people, who, dissatisfied with their present state of banishment, found fault with the ways of God towards their nation, and at the same time contemned the promises of deliverance given by the prophets, as not... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 45:8

8. Drop—namely, the fertilizing rain (Psalms 65:12). skies—clouds; lower than the "heavens." righteousness—that is, the dews of the Holy Spirit, whereby "righteousness" shall "spring up." (See latter end of the verse). earth—figuratively for the hearts of men on it, opened for receiving the truth by the Holy Ghost (Acts 16:14). them—the earth and the heavens.

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 45:9

9. Anticipating the objections which the Jews might raise as to why God permitted their captivity, and when He did restore them, why He did so by a foreign prince, Cyrus, not a Jew (Isaiah 40:27, c.), but mainly and ultimately, the objections about to be raised by the Jews against God's sovereign act in adopting the whole Gentile world as His spiritual Israel (Isaiah 40:27- :, referring to this catholic diffusion of the Gospel), as if it were an infringement of their nation's privileges so Paul... read more
