Isaiah 12:2-3

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Isaiah 12:1-6

6CHAPTER XTHE SPIRIT OF GOD IN MAN AND THE ANIMALSABOUT 720 B.C.Isaiah 11:1-16; Isaiah 12:1-6BENEATH the crash of the Assyrian with which the tenth chapter closes, we pass out into the eleventh upon a glorious prospect of Israel’s future. The Assyrian when he falls shall fall forever like the cedars of Lebanon, that send no fresh sprout forth from their broken stumps. But out of the trunk of the Judaean oak, also brought down by these terrible storms, Isaiah sees springing a fair and powerful... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Isaiah 12:1-6

CHAPTER 12 Israel’s Salvation Hymn 1. When Israel will sing (Isaiah 12:1 ) 2. What Israel will sing (Isaiah 12:2-3 ) 3. To whom Israel will sing (Isaiah 12:4-5 ) 4. The Holy One in the midst (Isaiah 12:6 ) It is Israel’s future song of praise for salvation. Read in this light what a wonderful meaning this little chapter has. The song will be sung by the delivered and blessed remnant “in that day.” In what day? When the Lord arises to judge; when He is manifested in His glory; when He... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Isaiah 12:1-6

JUDGMENT ON ASSYRIA The verses intervening since the last lesson apply to Israel, and are comparatively unimportant; but at Isaiah 10:5 a discourse begins concerning Assyria, running continuously to the close of chapter twelve. Assyria, an ally of Judah, is to become her enemy, but the chastisement she is to inflict on Judah is in the divine purpose, up to a certain point (Isaiah 10:5-6 ). Assyria’s motive is not the divine glory, however, but her own aggrandizement, which leads her to go... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Isaiah 12:1-6

Wells of Salvation Isaiah 12:0 It is time we had a hymn in this prophecy of Isaiah, for the reading has been like a succession of thunderstorms and earthquakes. Now and then there has been a bright line, and once indeed the very name Immanuel appeared; but taking the preceding eleven chapters as a whole, we seem to remember little but rain and storm and sword and battle, and shaking of things strong and mighty. It is curious how the song always comes in at the right time in this revelation of... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 12:2

Reader! take especial notice of what the hymn expresseth; namely, that the Lord God is the sinner's salvation. It is not enough to say, or sing, that the Lord hath brought us to salvation, but that he himself is our salvation; not that we have salvation from him, but salvation in him. He himself is the whole of it. Reader! observe the twofold name upon this occasion; Jah, and Jehovah. I do not presume to say as much, but may it not, with reverence, be asked, Is it not to intimate the whole... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 12:3

There is a great beauty in some of our old Bibles, which express this phrase of drawing water, as if it were out of the wells of the Saviour. Everything of grace is fetched by faith from Christ, and is in Christ. Ordinances are nothing without Jesus; and it is Christ himself; and not means of grace, however pure they are in themselves, that are the fountain and well of the soul. Hence the Church sings: A fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon is my beloved! Song... read more

Israel's Song of Its Redemption. v. 1. And In that day, when the redemption of the spiritual Israel, of the Church of Christ, shall be completed, thou shalt say, the Church Triumphant breaking forth in a paean of praise, O Lord, I will praise Thee; though Thou wast angry with me, in a just wrath over the natural sinfulness of those whose redemption was perfected, Thine anger is turned away, through the atonement made by Christ, and Thou comfortest me, the fact of the salvation gained in... read more
