イザヤ書 56:4-7 JC

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 56:3-8

The prophet is here, in God's name, encouraging those that were hearty in joining themselves to God and yet laboured under great discouragements. 1.

For thus saith the Lord unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths ,.... That fear and serve the Lord; religiously observe all times of divine worship, and walk in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord; show regard to all the institutions of the Gospel, and perform all religious exercises, private and public, on Lord's days, and at other times: and choose the things that please me ; who do that which is wellpleasing unto God, which he has declared in his word to be acceptable to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 56:5

Even to them will I give in mine house and within my walls ,.... The Targum is, "in the house of my sanctuary, and in the land of the house of my Shechinah;' meaning the temple at Jerusalem, in the land of Judea; but a Gospel church state is here meant, which is the house of God; the materials of which are true believers; the foundation Christ; the pillars and beams of it are the ministers of the word; the windows the ordinances, the door into it faith in Christ, and a profession of it;... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 56:6

Also the sons of the stranger that join themselves to the Lord ,.... Having answered the objection and removed the discouragement of the eunuch, he now returns to the sons of the stranger, who also join themselves to the Lord, as the eunuch had done; see Isaiah 56:4 and who do this, to serve him, and to love the name of the Lord, to be his servants ; who give up themselves to him, not only to be saved by him, but to serve him in righteousness and holiness, with reverence and godly... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 56:7

Even them will I bring to my holy mountain ,.... The church, called a "mountain" for its height, visibility, and immovableness; see Isaiah 2:2 , especially for the latter; the true members of it being such who are interested in the unchangeable love of God, in the immovable grace of election, in the unalterable covenant of grace, are on the Rock Christ Jesus, and are secured by the favour and power of God; and it is called a "Holy One", because in it holy men are, holy doctrines are... read more

The sons of the stranger - The Gentiles. That join themselves to the Lord - Who shall enter into the Christian covenant by baptism and faith in Christ, as the Jews and proselytes did by circumcision.

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 56:1-8

AN EXHORTATION TO OBSERVE THE LAW , ESPECIALLY THE LAW OF THE SABBATH , COMBINED WITH PROMISES . There was much of the Law which it was impossible to observe during the Captivity. Sacrifice had ceased, the temple was destroyed, almost all the ceremonial law must have been suspended; even the command to do no work on the sabbath day cannot have been kept by a nation of slaves, whose masters would certainly not have permitted them to be idle one day in seven.... read more
