以赛亚书 54:5-13 CUNPSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 54:1-5

If we apply this to the state of the Jews after their return out of captivity, it is a prophecy of the increase of their nation after they were settled in their own land. Jerusalem had been in the condition of a wife written childless, or a desolate solitary widow; but now it is promised that the city should be replenished and the country peopled again, that not only the ruins of Jerusalem should be repaired, but the suburbs of it extended on all sides and a great many buildings erected upon... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 54:6-10

The seasonable succour and relief which God sent to his captives in Babylon, when they had a discharge from their bondage there, are here foretold, as a type and figure of all those consolations of God which are treasured up for the church in general and all believers in particular, in the covenant of grace. I. Look back to former troubles, and in comparison with them God's favours to his people appear very comfortable, Isa. 54:6-8. Observe, 1. How sorrowful the church's condition had been.... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 54:11-17

Very precious promises are here made to the church in her low condition, that God would not only continue his love to his people under their troubles as before, but that he would restore them to their former prosperity, nay, that he would raise them to greater prosperity than any they had yet enjoyed. In the foregoing chapter we had the humiliation and exaltation of Christ; here we have the humiliation and exaltation of the church; for, if we suffer with him, we shall reign with him. Observe,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 54:5

For thy Maker is thine Husband ,.... That is, Christ, the Husband of the church, and of every true believer; who secretly betrothed them to himself in eternity, having asked him of his father; and, being given to him, openly espouses them in conversion, one by one, as a chaste virgin; which he will do more publicly in a body at the last day, when the marriage of the Lamb will be come, when he will appear as the bridegroom of his people; and to which character he acts up, by loving them... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 54:6

For the Lord hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit ,.... That has lost her husband by death, is solitary upon it, is like one forsaken, and mourns for the loss of him; or is forsaken by a living husband, rejected by him, having a bill of divorce from him, and so she grieves at his unkindness to her, and the reproach cast upon her; as such an one was the church when it was first constituted, when the members of which it consisted were called out of the world by the grace... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 54:7

For a small moment have I forsaken thee ,.... The people of God seem to be forsaken by him when he hides his face from them, as it is afterwards explained; when they are in distress, and he does not immediately appear for them; when they are afflicted in body and mind, though these afflictions are but for a moment; nor are they really forsaken, not as to things temporal or spiritual; God never forsakes the work of his own hands, nor his people, at least for ever, or so as that they shall... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 54:8

In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment ,.... This signifies much the same as before, when God hides his face from his people, withdraws his gracious presence, and does not grant the discoveries of his love; or they are under the frowns of his providence, and have not the smiles of his face and the light of his countenance as formerly, then they think they are forsaken by him; though all this is but for a moment, a small period of time; and though it seems to be in "wrath", it... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 54:9

For this is as the waters of Noah unto me ,.... Some copies, as Kimchi and Ben Melech observe, read these two words, כי מי , as one, thus, כימי , "as the days of Noah"; and this is followed by the Targum, Vulgate Latin, and Syriac versions; both readings may be kept, and joined in one, and the sense be, "for this is as the waters that were in the days of Noah unto me"; so Kimchi and Menachem join them. The meaning is, that God's dispensation towards his people, at the time the prophecy... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 54:10

For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed ,.... As sometimes by earthquakes, and as they will at the last day, when the earth shall be dissolved, and all in it, things the most solid, firm, and durable: it may be understood comparatively; sooner shall these depart and be removed than the kindness and covenant of God: it may be interpreted figuratively of revolutions in kingdoms and states, and particularly of the abolition of Paganism in the times of Constantine; and which is... read more
