Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 12:3
Your thirsty and fainting souls shall be filled with Divine graces and comforts, which you may plentifully draw from God in the use of gospel ordinances, which was oft signified by water, both in the Old and in the New Testament. He seems to allude to the state of Israel in the wilderness, where when they had been tormented with thirst, they were greatly refreshed and delighted with those waters which God so graciously and wonderfully afforded them in that dry and barren land, Numbers 20:11;... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 12:1
A NEW SONG FOR NEW HEARTSIsaiah 12:1. And in that day thou shalt say, O Lord, &c.This prophecy is said by some to relate to the invasion by Sennacherib, and the marvellous deliverance therefrom. If so, it is an instance of sanctified affliction, and a lesson to us that whenever we smart under the rod we may look forward to the time when it shall be withdrawn; it is also an admonition to us, that when we escape from trial we should take care to celebrate the event with grateful praise. It is... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 12:1-6
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

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 12:3
WELLS OF SALVATIONIsaiah 12:3. Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.Salvation is the great theme of the Bible, and thus it meets man’s great need. Think, I. of THE WELLS, the sources of salvation. Clearly these are not found in man himself. Salvation originated in the eternal love of God for man; it flows to sinners through the work of Jesus; it is by the influences of the Holy Spirit that the sinner is made willing to partake of it. These truly are wells of... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Isaiah 12:2
Isaiah 12:2 Naturally any creature must be liable to fear. The finite nature, however exalted, must always feel itself transcended and surrounded by the infinite unknown. And we are manifestly far more liable to the inroads of fear than those creatures who are in their first and proper position who have never fallen. I. The great mysteries of existence have a tendency to produce fear. (1) Has not every thoughtful mind bowed and almost trembled before the great mystery into which so many others... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Isaiah 12:3
Isaiah 12:3 I. Consider what we have to understand by the wells of salvation. We shall not strain the prophet's meaning here, if we take salvation almost in the fully developed New Testament sense, as including negatively the deliverance from all evil, both evil of sin and evil of sorrow, and positively the endowment with all good, good both of holiness and happiness, which God can bestow or men receive. Then if so, God Himself is, in the deepest truth, the Well of Salvation. The figure of the... read more

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Isaiah 12:3
DISCOURSE: 880THE WELLS OF SALVATIONIsaiah 12:3. With joy shall we draw water out of the wells of salvation.WE wonder not that the Scriptures are read with so little interest by the generality: for, till persons know somewhat of their lost estate, and of the way of salvation provided for them, the Bible is to them a sealed book. But let them once experience a taste of the Redeemer’s love, and instantly they will find in the inspired volume mines of wealth. Such a storehouse is that blessed book... read more
