Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 11:11-16

The Restoration Of Israel And Judah (Isaiah 11:11-16 ). And now, as after Isaiah 2:5; Isaiah 9:7, we are suddenly brought abruptly down to earth again. The glory of the coming eternal kingdom has been revealed. But what has been described is not just a myth, it relates specifically to the world situation and the position of God’s people. It is something to be truly enjoyed in the future. But before creation can be so blessed His people must return to Him and must be restored in readiness to... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 11:10-16

Isaiah 11:10-Nehemiah : . The Return of Israel and Judah from the Dispersion, and Victorious Alliance against their Ancient Foes.— This is probably post-exilic. The ideas are characteristic of that period— Israel’ s spiritual primacy, the latter-day glory of Jerusalem, the flocking of the heathen to it as disciples. Isaiah 11:11 f., Isaiah 11:15 f. are more natural in a later writer, for the Israelites would hardly be so widely dispersed in Isaiah’ s time. Isaiah 11:10 appears to be an... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 11:12

For the nations; all nations, Jews and Gentiles, who shall then embrace the true faith and the Messiah, as was said, Isaiah 11:10. The outcasts; that were driven and banished out of their own land into foreign parts, as the word implies. Of Israel; strictly so called, or of the ten tribes, as is manifest, both from their opposition to Judah in this verse, and from the mention of Ephraim in the next verse. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 11:13

Of Ephraim, i.e. of the ten tribes, frequently called by the name of Ephraim, as hath been already and frequently observed, between whom and Judah there were great emulations and contentions. Shall depart; of enemies they shall be made friends, and of wolves lambs, as was said before on Isaiah 11:6; they shall be united together in one church, under the Messiah, keeping the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. The adversaries of Judah; not the body of Ephraim, for they are supposed to be... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 11:14

Shall fly upon the shoulders; either it is a metaphor from birds and beasts of prey, which commonly fasten upon the shoulders of cattle; or from wrestlers, who endeavour to catch hold of their adversaries’ shoulders, that they may throw them down. Or, shoulder is put for a side, as Numbers 34:11; Joshua 15:8,Joshua 15:10, or for part or quarter of a country, as Deuteronomy 33:12. They shall spoil them; they shall subdue them; which is to be understood of the spiritual victory which the Jewish... 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

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Isaiah 11:1-16

Shall we turn to Isaiah, chapter 11, for the beginning of our study this evening.In the tenth chapter, the closing part of chapter 10 of Isaiah, and again, let me remind you that the chapter distinctions were made by men, not by the authors. But years later, in order that we might be able to ready reference scriptures, in order that you might be able to find them easily, they divided the Bible into chapters and verses. And that is only for our benefit so that we can reference. And so in the... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 11:1-16

Isaiah 11:1 . A rod out of the stem of Jesse. See the note on Isaiah 4:2. David’s house had been cut down by Jehu, and latterly by the invasion against Ahaz: chap. 7. Now a branch shall arise out of Jesse’s root, notwithstanding all the excisions of the sword, to overshadow the church. This the elder rabbins with one consent expound of the Messiah, though modern Jews apply the prophecy to Hezekiah. This is the way to destroy the credibility of divine revelation, for none of the glorious... read more
