Isaiah 25

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 25:8-9

The evening of expectation. Of this passage we may look at— I. ITS PRIMARY HISTORICAL APPLICATION . (See Exposition.) II. ITS APPLICATION TO THE CHURCH OF CHRIST . The Church of Christ is "the Israel of God," and we may expect much of the language first used in reference to the Jewish nation to be appropriate to it and even intended for its service. Like ancient Israel, the Church has found itself in great humiliation and distress, and has been in sore need of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 25:9

It shall be said ; literally, one shall say ; i.e. the redeemed generally shall thus express themselves. We have waited for him . During all the weary time of their oppression and persecution, the godly remnant ( Isaiah 24:13-15 ) was "waiting fur the Lord," i.e. trusting in him, expecting him to arise and scatter his enemies, won-daring that he endured so long the "contradiction of sinners against himself" ( Hebrews 12:3 ), but content to abide his determination of the fitting... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 25:9

Waiting on God. "This is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us." Waiting on God. Waiting for God. Waiting on when all is dark. Waiting still, when commotions and troubles surround us. Bidding us wait for him, a way of the Lord's dealing with us. Making it hard to wait, a sign of God's severer dealing with us. And wafting sanctified to our soul-culture. These are subjects very suggestive to Christian meditation. I. WAITING CIRCUMSTANCES . It was a waiting-time for the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 25:9-12

After thanksgiving for deliverance in the past, and commemoration of blessings in the present, confidence is expressed in the future. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 25:9-12

Song of the redeemed. I. THE STATE OF THE CHOSEN PEOPLE . They will be in the joyous realization of long-awaited blessings. A brief strain from their hymn is given— "Lo! here is our God! For him we have waited that he should save us; This is Jehovah, for whom we have waited; Let us exult and rejoice in his salvation!" As "a sorrow's crown of sorrow is remembering happier things," so the crown of joy is the recollection of past miseries in the hour of deliverance. And... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 25:10

In this mountain shall the hand of the Lord rest . The protecting hand of God will ever be stretched out over the spiritual Zion—the Church of the Redeemed—to defend it and keep it safe throughout eternity. Moab shall be trodden down . Various reasons have been given for the selection of Moab to represent the enemies of the redeemed. Perhaps, as the Moabites were, on the whole, the bitterest of all the adversaries of the Jews (see 2 Kings 24:2 ; Ezekiel 25:8-11 ), they are regarded as... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 25:11

He shall spread forth his hands … as he that swimmeth . Moab will endeavor to save himself from sinking in the water of the dung-pit; but in vain. God will bring down his pride , or abase his haughtiness , together with all the plots and snares that he contrives. A continued plotting of the enemies of God against his Church seems to be assumed, even after the Church is established in the spiritual Zion under the direct protection and rule of Jehovah. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 25:12

The fortress of the high fort … shall he bring down , etc.; rather, hath he bowed down , laid low , brought down to earth . The past mercies of God in abasing the pride of the Church's foes, rather than any further mercies of the same kind, seem to be here spoken of. Mr. Cheyne suggests that the verse is out of place. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 25

For the general design and scope of this chapter, see the Analysis to Isaiah 24:0. It is a song of praise to God for the anticipated deliverance of his people from the bondage in Babylon. The desolation of Jerusalem and Judah had been described in Isaiah 24:0; that chapter had closed with an intimation that Yahweh would again reign in glory on Mount Zion Isaiah 24:23; and in view of this future deliverance the prophet breaks out into this beautiful song of praise. It was not unusual for the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 25:1

O Lord, thou art my God - The prophet speaks, not in his own name, but in the name of the people that would be delivered from bondage. The sense is, that Yahweh had manifested himself as their covenant-keeping God; and that in view of his faithfulness in keeping his promises, they now had demonstration that he was their God.I will exalt thee - A form of expression often used to denote praise Psalms 118:28; Psalms 145:1, meaning that the worshipper would exalt God in the view of his own mind, or... read more
