Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 48:22

God having in the next foregoing verses foretold, that peace and blessed deliverance which he would certainly give to his servant Jacob, Isaiah 48:20, he here adds an explication and limitation of this mercy, and declareth that wicked men should not enjoy the benefit of this mercy; where, by the wicked, he means either, 1. The Babylonians, who well deserved that title; who shall be destroyed, when God’s Israel shall be delivered: or rather, 2. The unbelieving and ungodly Jews, of whom these... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 48:20-21

THE RIGHT USE OF THE HISTORY OF GOD’S DEALINGS WITH HIS PEOPLEIsaiah 48:20-21. Go forth from Babylon! Flee ye from the Chaldeans! With the voice of joy tell this, &c.Isaiah had prophesied that his fellow-countrymen would be led captive into Babylon; but he was able to look forward to the termination of their captivity, and could speak thus confidently because he knew—1, that God, who was about to consign them for a time, and for corrective purposes, into bondage, also purposed to deliver... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 48:22

THE POSSESSORS OF PEACEIsaiah 48:22. There is no peace, saith the Lord, to the wicked.“There is a caveat put in against the wicked, that go on still in their trespasses. Let them not think they have any benefit amongst God’s people, though in show and profession they herd themselves among them—let them not expect to come in shares. What have they to do with peace that are enemies to God? Their false prophets cried peace to them to whom it did not belong; but God tells them that there shall be... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Isaiah 48:1-22

Now in chapter 48 God speaks about how that He is going to restore then under the Holy One, Jehovah's servant. And God is going to restore the house of Jacob.Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, which are called by the name of Israel ( Isaiah 48:1 ),You are called by the name of Israel.The name of Israel literally means governed by God.

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 48:1-22

Isaiah 48:1 . Which swear by the name of the Lord, who resents all false swearing to his covenant. Isaiah 48:3 . I have declared the former things. The Messiah continues here to be the speaker, and the hopes of the church repose solely upon his word. In the next verses he declares the future; he puts his name to it; his favourite name with the Jews, the Lord of Hosts. Isaiah 48:5 . I have even from the beginning declared the fall of Babylon, and all other important circumstances... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Isaiah 48:20-21

Isaiah 48:20-21Go ye forth of BabylonSummoned to an exodusThere has never been an era in which God’s people have not been face to face with a great principle of evil, embodied in a city, confederation, or conspiracy of darkness.Always the same spirit under differing forms. This great system is as strong to-day as when the massive walls of Babylon enclosed their millions, and proudly dominated the world. Some have identified it with the Church of Rome, or the spirit of ecclesiastical assumption,... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Isaiah 48:21

Isa 48:21 And they thirsted not [when] he led them through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them: he clave the rock also, and the waters gushed out. Ver. 21. And they thirsted not when he led, &c. ] Your fathers did not of old: nor shall you now in your return homeward. The Jews tell us of many miracles then wrought also, but we read of no such matter in Ezra; and we know that God’s pilgrims shall want no necessary accommodation: that he will be sure to see to. read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Isaiah 48:22

Isaiah 48:22 [There is] no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked. Ver. 22. There is no peace, saith the Lord, unto the wicked. ] Babylon’s best days are past: therefore go ye forth of her. Isa 48:20 The wicked of what nation soever that hearken not to God’s commandments, as Isa 48:18 well they may have a truce, but no true peace certainly. That which they have is pax infida, pax incerta a (as that of the Romans with the Samnites), a peace no peace; and how can it be better so long as... read more
