G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 11:1-16

In this section the prophet's eyes are lifted toward the light of a far-off day. With judgment imminent, he yet sees the ultimate issue of it all. There is fist a description of a Coming One ( Isa 11:11 ). The description of the Coming One is divided into two parts. The first describes Him as the Branch, that is, as David's Son (verses Isa 11:1-9 ). His Coming is proclaimed, His anointing by the Spirit of Jehovah is declared, the method of His rule is described, and the glorious results are... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Isaiah 11:1-10

From the Cradle to the Cross Isaiah 11:1-10 INTRODUCTORY WORDS The Holy Spirit in various parts of the Old Testament gave us all that we need to know beforehand about the birth, the life, the death, and the resurrection of our Lord. The Second Coming and the Reign of Christ was also given by the Spirit in the Old Testament writings, in a detailed way. We will just now confine ourselves to this: "From the cradle to the Cross." We will use only such Scriptures as are given us by the Prophet... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 11:1-10

The Final Result (Isaiah 10:33 to Isaiah 11:10 ). And now the scene suddenly changes. After the detail of the march the final result is dismissed in two sentences as a new prophecy opens up. Assyria is by now almost irrelevant. In mind now are all the enemies who come from the north in their proud and arrogant presumption against God’s people, all the enemies of Israel. They will be hewn down like a condemned forest and fall before the Lord, Yahweh of hosts, preparing the way for the new... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 11:5-10

The Coming Paradise (Isaiah 11:5-10 ). And now, having depicted a situation where good will triumph and evil perish, where all will be just and right, where everything will be in accord with the holiness and justice of God, Isaiah goes on to finalise the perfect picture. The King will rule in righteousness (Isaiah 11:5), and even throughout the animal kingdom peace and harmony will reign. For He is the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 11:6-9), while the nations and peoples will seek to the root of... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 11:1-9

Isaiah 11:1-1 Samuel : . The Messiah’ s Divine Equipment.— If the reference to the hewn stump of David’ s house implies the overthrow of the monarchy, the passage presumably is not Isaiah’ s. This inference, perhaps, is not necessary; and if Isaiah 9:2-Judges : is his, the same judgment should probably be passed on Isaiah 11:1-1 Samuel :. The Messiah is to spring from the family of Jesse, i.e. he will be a second David. This family is described as the hewn stump of a tree. It is in a fallen... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 11:6

The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, & c.; the creatures shall be restored to that state of innocency in which they were before the fall of man. But this is not to be understood literally, which is a gross and vain conceit of some Jews; but spiritually and metaphorically, as is evident. And the sense of the metaphor is this, Men of fierce, and cruel, and ungovernable dispositions, shall be so transformed by the preaching of the gospel, and by the grace of Christ, that they shall become... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 11:7

Shall feed together, as it follows, without any danger or fear. The lion shall eat straw, the grass and fruits of the earth, as they did at first, Genesis 1:29,Genesis 1:30, and shall not devour other living creatures, as now they do. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 11:1-16

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

Sermon Bible Commentary - Isaiah 11:6

Isaiah 11:6 It is plain, from the words of the text, that Isaiah was one of those prophets and righteous men who desired to see and hear the things which Christ's disciples saw and heard. But it may be said that he desired to see the kingdom of Christ, because he thought that it would bring with it a greater and happier change in the state of the world than it has done; because he looked forward to it as to a time when the wolf should dwell with the lamb, and the leopard lie down with the kid... read more

DISCOURSE: 876THE CHANGE TO BE WROUGHT BY THE GOSPEL IN THE LATTER DAYIsaiah 11:6-9. The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the... read more
