Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 55:10

And the snow, which in its season contributes to the fruitfulness of the earth as well as the rain. Returneth not thither, to wit, void, or without effect, as it is expressed in the next verse; or immediately; it is not drawn up again as soon as it is come down, but abides for a convenient time upon the earth, until it do that work for which it was sent. That it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater; that it may bring forth store of bread corn, both for men’s present supplies, and... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 55:11

So shall my word; my promises before recited concerning the sending of the Messiah, and the blessing of his labours with such wonderful success, and concerning the reconciliation and pardon of the greatest sinners, and concerning the redemption and salvation of his people. It shall not return unto me void; without success. It is an allusion to an ambassador who returns without despatching that business for which he was sent. It shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it; it shall have that... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 55:10-11

THE ERRAND OF THE WORDIsaiah 55:10-11. For as the rain cometh down, &c.Upon what errand has God sent forth His Word? It publishes “salvation” with all its tongues. It has tidings for us of great truth; and the fault will be ours if the tidings be not also of great joy. These words of the prophet are the more powerful because they are so pleasant. They have the charm and vigour of Nature in them. Every one cares about rain, and believes in it. Every one does not care about truth, and believe... read more

As the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater: so shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.THE more just our views of God’s perfections... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Isaiah 55:1-13

Chapter 55Ho, every one that thirsteth ( Isaiah 55:1 ),Going into the glorious Kingdom Age. Now, God detests and hates commercialism. God hates how people take advantage of one another. Profiteering on someone else. God is going to bring down the whole commercial system. And when God brings it down there is going to be great rejoicing in heaven, though on earth there's going to be tremendous mourning and lamentation. But in Revelation 18:1-24 God spends a whole chapter telling of how He's going... read more

Isaiah 55:12 . The mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing. Virgil has the like ideas. Eclogue 5: 62. Ipsi lætitia voces ad sidera jactant Intonsi montes; ipsæ jam carmina rupes, Ipsa sonant arbusta. That is, the unshorn mountains, elated with joy, raise their voices to the stars; yea, the rocks and groves resound with songs. The poets, as well as the prophets, sung the glory of the latter day. REFLECTIONS. The waters which flowed from the Gihon, the rivers of... read more

Isaiah 55:10-13For as the rain cometh downRain snow, symbolic of the Word of GodThe fitness of the symbolism is apparent even to the most casual observer.1. Snow and rain are characterized by gentleness which merges into force. One drop of rain falls upon my hand, and I crush it, and it is not; but when the drop is multiplied, and the great storm sweeps along the valley, it is almost resistless in its onrush. One feathery flake of snow falls through the atmosphere; I touch it, and it passes and... read more

Isaiah 55:11So shall My Word beFinality of the Divine purposeI.TRUTH IN ITS MISSION. “It shall accomplish that which I please,” etc. 1. We may take our first illustration of this mission from the spirit and contents of the truth itself. It; is “the Word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” Nature is the Word of His power. The Bible is the Word of His mouth. That belongs to the few who have the key or can find it: this is in language vernacular to the race. These two records are equally... read more
