Isaiah 12:3

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 12:3

‘Therefore with joy will you draw water out of the wells of salvation.’ Isaiah adds his comment to the song, and speaks to all. ‘You’ is here in the plural. Because of their wonderful deliverance they can all come continually to draw water from the wells of salvation. The spring-fed well was the basis of life for the Israelites. It was alongside wells that they built their cities. From wells they irrigated their crops. And now their saving God has provided a continual spring, welling up... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 12:1-6

Isaiah 12. Songs of Thanksgiving.— This is a late appendix to the preceding. It is imitative throughout and copies late passages. Isaiah 11:16 compares Israel’ s return from the Dispersion with the deliverance of the Hebrews at the Exodus. As a song of praise (Exodus 15) celebrates the destruction of the Egyptians at the Red Sea, so two brief songs ( Isaiah 12:1-Leviticus :, Isaiah 12:4-Joshua :) are inserted here, which have close points of contact with Exodus 15 and some Pss., especially... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 12:3

Your thirsty and fainting souls shall be filled with Divine graces and comforts, which you may plentifully draw from God in the use of gospel ordinances, which was oft signified by water, both in the Old and in the New Testament. He seems to allude to the state of Israel in the wilderness, where when they had been tormented with thirst, they were greatly refreshed and delighted with those waters which God so graciously and wonderfully afforded them in that dry and barren land, Numbers 20:11;... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 12:1-6

ISAIAH’S VISION OF THE KING AND OF HIS KINGDOMCHAPTERS 11 AND 12This is one of the visions that Isaiah saw (chap. Isaiah 1:1, Isaiah 2:1, &c.). He was a dreamer of dreams. With a keen perception, not surpassed, of the men and things actually surrounding him, much of his life was passed in an ideal and future world. There he found comfort and strength to endure the sorrows that otherwise would have crushed him. At the outset of his ministry, when the great king who had done so much to... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 12:3

WELLS OF SALVATIONIsaiah 12:3. Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.Salvation is the great theme of the Bible, and thus it meets man’s great need. Think, I. of THE WELLS, the sources of salvation. Clearly these are not found in man himself. Salvation originated in the eternal love of God for man; it flows to sinners through the work of Jesus; it is by the influences of the Holy Spirit that the sinner is made willing to partake of it. These truly are wells of... read more

William Nicoll

Sermon Bible Commentary - Isaiah 12:3

Isaiah 12:3 I. Consider what we have to understand by the wells of salvation. We shall not strain the prophet's meaning here, if we take salvation almost in the fully developed New Testament sense, as including negatively the deliverance from all evil, both evil of sin and evil of sorrow, and positively the endowment with all good, good both of holiness and happiness, which God can bestow or men receive. Then if so, God Himself is, in the deepest truth, the Well of Salvation. The figure of the... read more

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Isaiah 12:3

DISCOURSE: 880THE WELLS OF SALVATIONIsaiah 12:3. With joy shall we draw water out of the wells of salvation.WE wonder not that the Scriptures are read with so little interest by the generality: for, till persons know somewhat of their lost estate, and of the way of salvation provided for them, the Bible is to them a sealed book. But let them once experience a taste of the Redeemer’s love, and instantly they will find in the inspired volume mines of wealth. Such a storehouse is that blessed book... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Isaiah 12:1-6

Chapter 12And in that day ( Isaiah 12:1 ).This day of the Lord when He returns and establishes His kingdom.thou shalt say, O LORD, I will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me ( Isaiah 12:1 ).This is, of course, the declaration of Israel who had been dispersed in the anger of the Lord. And now as they are returning, they're returning to God, they shall look upon Him whom they have pierced and they shall weep over Him as one weeps over... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 12:1-6

Isaiah 12:2 . JEHOVAH is my strength. Lowth reads, Lord, as in the English; but in the Hebrew book, Sepher Ikkarim, we read, “The scriptures call the Messiah JAH or JAOH, our righteousness; indicating that he will be the mediatorial Lord, by whom we shall obtain justification, from the name; which is indeed the name of the NAME, or the essential name of God.” By the Name this author means JEHOVAH, which the Jews in their exile do not pronounce, but substitute in reading the name Adonai or... read more
