イザヤ書 56:4-7 JC

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 56:6-7

This is a repetition of the same promise, varying only in expression, under the gospel dispensation. Aliens and strangers shall be as fully instituted into the privileges of the Church, as the stock of Israel. All their offerings shall be accepted upon the New Testament altar, which is Christ, and in him, and for his sake, shall they be blessed; Malachi 1:11 ; Galatians 3:26-29 . read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Isaiah 56:4

Eunuchs. It was ignominious to have no children among the Jews, as the propagation of the true religion depended much on their numbers. But now, since the Church is gathered from all nations, virginity is preferable to marriage, and those who keep the sabbath, or all the commandments, and choose this state freely, will receive greater glory than the other sons and daughters of God. Against this plain meaning, P. Martyr (de C'9clib.) asserts that God prefers eunuchs only because before those... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Isaiah 56:7

Prayer. So the temple is justly styled. (Haydock) --- This shall be open to all nations. After the captivity, the Jews condescended to let the Gentiles have a court, and they even suffered some princes to go into the court of the priests, 2 Machabees iii. 33. Physcon wished to penetrate into the inner sanctuary, (3 Machabees; Ecclesiasticus l.) which could not be granted. read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 56:3-8

3-8 Unbelief often suggests things to discourage believers, against which God has expressly guarded. Spiritual blessings are unspeakably better than having sons and daughters; for children are a care, and may prove a grief and shame, but the blessings we partake of in God's house, are comforts which cannot be made bitter. Those who love the Lord truly, will serve him faithfully, and then his commandments are not grievous. Three things are promised. Assistance: I will not only bid them welcome,... read more

Frank Binford Hole

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Isaiah 56:1-14

Isa_56:1 Isa_58:14 At the end of Isa 55.0 the wonderful prophetic strain, concerning the One who was to come forth as both the "Servant" and the "Arm" of the Lord, comes to an end. In chapter 56 the prophet had to revert to the state of things among the people to whom previously he addressed himself. He spoke in the name of the Lord and the fact that He called for equity and justice reveals that these excellent things were not being practised among the people. His salvation and righteousness... read more

Paul E. Kretzmann

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Isaiah 56:1-8

Admonition And Comfort to the Afflicted v. 1. Thus saith the Lord, the same God of the covenant who has spoken in the foregoing powerful appeals, Keep ye judgment, equity or righteousness in living in conformity with the demands of the covenant with Jehovah, and do justice, following the ordinances of His will, the admonition presupposing a neglect in this respect on the part of the Lord's people; for My salvation is near to come and My righteousness to be revealed, namely, in the glories... read more

Johann Peter Lange

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Isaiah 56:1-9

VIII.—THE EIGHTH DISCOURSEIsaiah 56:1-9The new salvation mediated by the Servant of God was described chap. 54 in its general, objective aspect; in chap. 55 in respect to the subjective appropriation of salvation. Chap. 56, in a few but plain strokes, shows us the same as the source of an entirely new ethical, social and physical regulation of life. For Isaiah 56:1-2 hold out the prospect of a holy walk, Isaiah 56:3-7 of a new legal regulation respecting strangers and eunuchs, finally Isaiah... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 56:1-12

the Blessedness of Sabbath-Keeping Isaiah 56:1-12 The bright array of Messianic promises, which occupied the preceding chapters, is now followed by a portion of less interest, seeing that our attention is not now fastened on Christ, but on Israel. Birk calls this sermon “The Middle Ages of Delay,” and says: “This new section of advice and warning belongs to this whole period from Isaiah to Christ. The like message applies now to the Church of Christ and its prospect of the Second Advent.”... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 56:1-12

This division ends with two chapters (56 and 57) which set forth certain aspects of the administration of the Kingdom. The first is intended to comfort those who by recent promises of restoration made to the people of God were likely to be discouraged. Strangers would say, "The Lord will surely separate me from His people," and, in view of the hope of the growth of the nation, the eunuch would declare, "Behold, I am a dry tree." Both these are comforted. To the latter is promised a memorial... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 56:1-8

The Welcome Given To Eunuchs and Strangers To Enter Fully Into the House of Yahweh (Isaiah 56:1-8 ). God’s true people are to live in readiness for the day of deliverance (Isaiah 56:1 b), and one day when His deliverance comes (Isaiah 56:1), as a result of the work of the Servant (Isaiah 53:1-12), and as a result of the establishing of the everlasting covenant (Isaiah 55:3), full and uninhibited worship in the temple of Yahweh will be available to all who long to engage in such worship,... read more
