イザヤ書 19:20-22 JCB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 19:18-25

Out of the thick and threatening clouds of the foregoing prophecy the sun of comfort here breaks forth, and it is the sun of righteousness. Still God has mercy in store for Egypt, and he will show it, not so much by reviving their trade and replenishing their river again as by bringing the true religion among them, calling them to, and accepting them in, the worship of the one only living and true God; and these blessings of grace were much more valuable than all the blessings of nature... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 19:20

And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt ,.... This refers either to what goes before, that the altar and pillar were signs and witnesses that the Lord was believed in, professed, and worshipped there; or to what follows after, that the Lord's hearing the cries of men, and answering them, by sending a great Saviour to them, is a token and testimony for him of his great love unto them: for they shall cry unto the Lord because of the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 19:21

And the Lord shall be known to Egypt ,.... The means of knowing him would be granted them; which were partly through the Bible being translated into the Greek language, at the request of Ptolemy king of Egypt, which was then understood in that country, and this was a considerable time before the coming of Christ; and chiefly through the Gospel being brought hither by the Evangelist Mark, and others, whereby many of them were brought to a spiritual, experimental, and evangelical knowledge of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 19:22

And the Lord shall smite Egypt ,.... By one afflictive providence or another, which shall awaken them to a sense of sin and duty; or smite their consciences with convictions of sin, through the ministry of the word by his spirits: he shall smite and heal it ; or "smiting and healing" F6 נגוף ורפוא "percutiendo et sanando", Pagninus, Montanus, Piscator, Tigurine version. ; as he smites he shall heal, by an application of pardoning grace and mercy, by sprinkling the blood of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 19:16-25

Mingled judgment and mercy. I. THE EFFECT OF JUDGMENT . The hind will be like timid and trembling women, for the mighty hand of Jehovah will be brandished aloft in judgment. Whenever it is felt that Divine power is working on the side of the foe, the most warlike nations lose heart. "God with us!"—a watchword that nerves the feeblest arm, and fills the faintest heart with courage. " God against us!"—the hand of the bravest hangs down, the knees of the stoutest tremble. Judah,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 19:18-22

THE TURNING OF EGYPT TO JEHOVAH . The chastisement of the Egyptians shall be followed, after a while, by a great change. Influences from Canaan shall penetrate Egypt ( Isaiah 19:18 ), an altar shall be raised in her midst to Jehovah ( Isaiah 19:19 ), and she herself shall cry to him for succor ( Isaiah 19:20 ) and be delivered ( Isaiah 19:20 ). Egypt shall even become a part of Jehovah's kingdom, shall "know him," and serve him with sacrifice and oblation ( Isaiah 19:21 ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 19:18-22

Smiting and healing. We may glean from these verses— I. THAT THE BLOWS WHICH WE SURFER IN OUR ORDINARY EXPERIENCE COME FROM THE HAND OF GOD . No doubt the various calamities by which Egypt was afflicted came to her in the ordinary ways, and appeared to her citizens as the result of common causes. They accounted for them by reference to general laws, to visible human powers, to known processes and current events. Yet we know them to have been distinctly and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 19:20

It shall be for a sign . The outward tokens of Jehovah-worship shall witness to God that he has in Egypt now a covenant people, and he will deal with them accordingly. He shall send them a savior, and a great one. This does not seem to point to any earthly deliverer, but to the Savior from the worst of all oppressors, sin and Satan, whom they will need equally with the rest of his people. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 19:21

The Lord shall be known ; rather, shall make himself known , as in Ezekiel 20:5 , Ezekiel 20:9 ; by answering prayer, by spiritual influences, and the like. The Egyptians shall know the Lord (comp. Jeremiah 31:34 , "They shall all know me from the least of them unto the greatest"). And shall do sacrifice and oblation ; rather, shall serve with sacrifice and oblation . The bulk of the Jews settled in Egypt, together with their Egyptian proselytes, went up year by year to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 19:22

And Jehovah shall smite Egypt, smiting and healing ; i.e. Jehovah shall indeed "smite Egypt," as already prophesied ( Isaiah 19:1-16 ), but it shall be with a merciful object, in order, after smiting, to "heal." His smiting shall induce them to "return" to him, and when they return he will forgive and save (comp. Zephaniah 3:8 , Zephaniah 3:9 ; Jeremiah 12:14-16 ). Egypt was a Christian country from the third century to the seventh; and the Coptic Church (though very corrupt) still... read more
