イザヤ書 64:10-11 JCB

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 64:1-12

The praise and confession merge into a prayer in which the sore need of the people is first described, and then a cry full of intense anguish is lifted for the dawning of the day when Jehovah will act in judgment. Again the prophet strengthens his own faith as he remembers how God had wrought on behalf of His people in the past. This memory of His faithfulness produces a new sense of their unfaithfulness, and he confesses sin and failure. Out of the midst of desolation and destruction he... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 64:1-12

The Response of Jacob Through Isaiah (Isaiah 63:7 to Isaiah 64:12 ). In response to the glory and fierceness of the One Who is coming Isaiah, fearfully aware of what the future might hold, especially in the light of the revelations given to him, and knowing the spiritual condition of his own people, brings God into remembrance of what He has done for His people in the past. He draws out how He has chosen them and through them brought great glory to His name, and then pleads for Him to act... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 64:8-12

Isaiah Pleads For Yahweh To Exercise His Sovereignty On Their Behalf (Isaiah 64:8-12 ). Isaiah 64:8 ‘But now O Yahweh, you are our father, We are the clay and you are the potter, And we are all the work of your hand.’ Here lies Isaiah’s hope. That Yahweh has proclaimed Himself their Father (see on Isaiah 63:16). He has set His choice on them (Deuteronomy 7:7-8). And while they are but clay He is the Potter. Thus He can shape them into what He will. The declaration of the sovereignty of God is... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 64:10-12

Isaiah 64:10-2 Kings : . These verses, which describe the Temple as not merely desecrated but actually burned, seem to be a late addition from a period of which we have no exact information.The cities of the holy land are become a desert, Jerusalem a curse (LXX and Latin). The Temple, which has existed long enough to have exchanged its simplicity for adornment, and to be hallowed by memory, is burned. All that the people took delight in is ruined. Can Yahweh refrain from action on behalf of... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 64:10

Thy holy cities; either Zion and Jerusalem, being the cities they instance in: q.d. Thy holy cities, viz. Zion and Jerusalem: or rather, other cities also in the land of Judea besides those two; called holy, either, 1. Because they were built upon God’s inheritance, Isaiah 63:17. Or, 2. Because they were inhabited by the Jews, who were a holy people, Deuteronomy 7:6; Daniel 12:7. Or, 3. Because God had his synagogues in them, Psalms 74:8. For all which reasons also they are called thy cities. A... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 64:11

Our holy and our beautiful house; the temple, Isaiah 60:7; q.d. Not only our cities, and our principal cities, but even our temple, which we thought sacred and inviolable, in which we have gloried, because it was thine, and our fathers, and ours, the place where thy holy service was performed, and thy glory and presence was manifested. Our fathers; not presuming to mention themselves, they had been so every way abominable, but their fathers. All our pleasant things; the king’s palace, and the... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Isaiah 64:1-12

Chapter 64Oh that you would rend the heavens, that you would come down, and that the mountains might flow down at thy presence, As when the melting fire burns, the fire causes the waters to boil, and makes thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence! When you did awesome things which we looked not for, you came down, and the mountains flowed down at thy presence. For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 64:1-12

Isaiah 64:1 . A new scene of prophetic events opens here, where the prophet in time of trouble cries the more in spirit to the Messiah. Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens and come down. It is strikingly observable, that the promises of the Saviour’s coming were desired and renewed in times of affliction, and in war. Isaiah 7:9. Micah 4:5. Job 19:20-25. In Psalms 85:0. it is promised that righteousness shall look down from heaven, and truth shall spring out of the earth. So also in... read more

Isaiah 64:11Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised Thee, is burned up with fireThe burnt templeI.HERE IS PATHETIC LAMENTATION. 1. The children of Israel regarded the temple as their own house. They spoke of it as God’s house. But because it was God’s it was their own, for they were God’s; and all that particularly belonged to Him had a special interest for them, and they had a special claim in it. 2. This temple was sacred in the people’s eyes. The prophet calls it, “our... read more
