イザヤ書 27:3 JC

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 27:1-6

The prophet is here singing of judgment and mercy, I. Of judgment upon the enemies of God's church (Isa. 27:1), tribulation to those that trouble it, 2 Thess. 1:6. When the Lord comes out of his place, to punish the inhabitants of the earth (Isa. 26:21), he will be sure to punish leviathan, the dragon that is in the sea, every proud oppressing tyrant, that is the terror of the mighty, and, like the leviathan, is so fierce that none dares stir him up, and his heart as hard as a stone, and when... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 27:3

I the Lord do keep it ,.... The vineyard, the church, not only by his ministers, called the keepers of it, Song of Solomon 8:12 but by himself, by his own power; for unless he keeps it, who is Israel's keeper, the watchmen wake in vain; he keeps his church and people from sin, that it does not reign over them; and from Satan's temptations, that they are not destroyed by them; and from the malice of the world, and the poison of false teachers, that they are not ruined thereby; and from a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 27:1-11

God's treatment of the rebellious and the righteous. Amid the different and difficult interpretations and the numerous and dubious applications given to these verses, we may discern some truths respecting God's treatment of human character. I. HIS TREATMENT OF THE WICKED . 1. The sharpness of his instruments . He punishes with "a sore and great and strong sword" ( Isaiah 27:1 ) He "whets his glitter-nag sword ( Deuteronomy 32:41 ). Out of the mouth of the Son of God... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 27:1-13

In that day. We have here a general picture of the events which precede the condition of the inauguration of a new era. I. THE FIGHT WITH THE MONSTER OR MONSTERS . We cannot enter into the subject of this symbolism, in reference to which, in the absence of definite information, so much of fanciful interpretation has gathered. We cannot refer the serpent or the dragon to the storm-cloud, or lightning, as some have done; nor historically to Egypt and Assyria. Something much... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 27:2-3

Vineyard-keeping. The vine is a familiar Bible figure for the pious individual; and the vineyard, or cluster of vines, an equally familiar figure of the Church. Several things make the figure specially suitable. The vine is a beautiful plant; it is dependent, and cannot be its best when standing alone; it brings forth rich and abundant fruit; it needs constant and careful tending; its wood is useless for any other purpose than carrying the sap that flows through it; and it is exposed to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 27:2-6

GOD 'S CARE FOR HIS VINEYARD . This piece may be called a companion picture to Isaiah 5:1-7 , or a joy-song to be set over against that dirge. In both the figure of the vineyard is employed to express the people of God, and God is "the Lord of the vineyard." But whereas, on the former occasion, all was wrath and fury, menace and judgment, here all is mercy and loving-kindness, protection and promise. The difference is, no doubt, not with God, "with whom is no variableness, neither... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 27:3

I the Lord do keep it ; or, guard it (comp. Isaiah 26:3 ; Isaiah 42:6 ; Isaiah 49:8 ; Psalms 121:5 ). Vineyards were considered to require special watching, since they were liable to damage both from thieves and foxes (So Isaiah 2:15 ). It was usual to build towers in them, from which a watch could be kept ( Isaiah 5:2 ; Matthew 21:33 ). I will water it every moment (compare the threat in Isaiah 5:6 , "I will command my clouds that they rain no rain upon it"). The... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 27:3

Divine guardianship. "Lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day." Then there are hurtful powers and hurtful people in the world. The Word itself lets light in upon the condition of humanity. There are hidden invisible foes; and there is need for One who can discern and defeat them. I. THE EYE THAT SEES . This is all-important. For we are blind to our worst enemies. Evil puts on the garb of good. And evil hides itself. The serpent is coiled up at the bottom of the cup. The... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 27:3-5

The means whereby God purifies and perfects his Church. Despite human weakness and human perversity, God will build up and establish a faithful Church—he will "purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works" ( Titus 2:14 ). It is for his honor that this should be so, and he is strong enough to effect it. His "strength is made perfect in weakness" ( 2 Corinthians 12:9 ). We are shown here some, at any rate, of the chief means whereby he effects his purpose. Most prominent of... read more
