以赛亚书 66:2-4 CUNPSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 66:1-4

Here, I. The temple is slighted in comparison with a gracious soul, Isa. 66:1, 2. The Jews in the prophet's time, and afterwards in Christ's time, gloried much in the temple and promised themselves great things from it; to humble them therefore, and to shake their vain confidence, both the prophets and Christ foretold the ruin of the temple, that God would leave it and then it would soon be desolate. After it was destroyed by the Chaldeans it soon recovered itself and the ceremonial services... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 66:2

For all those things hath mine hand made ,.... The heavens and the earth, which are his throne and footstool; and therefore, since he is the Creator of all things, he must be immense, omnipresent, and cannot be included in any space or place: and all those things have been, saith the Lord ; or "are" F12 ויהיו sunt, Forerius, Gataker. ; they are in being, and continue, and will, being supported by the hand that made them; and what then can be made by a creature? or what house be... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 66:3

He that killeth an ox, is as if he slew a man ,.... Not that killed the ox of his neighbour, which, according to law, he was to pay for; or that killed one for food, which was lawful to be done; but that slew one, and offered it as a sacrifice; not blamed because blind or lame, or had any blemish in it, and so unfit for sacrifice; or because not rightly offered, under a due sense of sin, and with repentance for it, and faith in Christ; but because all sacrifices of this kind are now... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 66:4

I also will choose their delusions ,.... Suffer them to approve and make choice of such persons that should delude and deceive them; as the Scribes and Pharisees, who were wolves in sheep's clothing, and through their appearance of sanctity deceived many, and by their long prayers devoured widows' houses; and as these false prophets, so likewise false Christs, many of which arose after the true Messiah was come, and was rejected by them, whom they embraced, and, by whom they were deluded and... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 66:2

And all those things have been "And all these things are mine" - A word absolutely necessary to the sense is here lost out of the text: לי li , mine. It is preserved by the Septuagint and Syriac. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 66:3

He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man "He that slayeth an ox killeth a man" - These are instances of wickedness joined with hypocrisy; of the most flagitious crimes committed by those who at the same time affected great strictness in the performance of all the external services of religion. God, by the Prophet Ezekiel, upbraids the Jews with the same practices: "When they had slain their children to their idols, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it," Ezekiel... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 66:1-2

The place of God's rest. This passage should be associated with that second temple which was raised by the returned captives from Babylon, at the direction of Ezra and Nehemiah, and under the inspirations of the prophets Isaiah, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi. A subtle peril lies in building any house for God. That peril lay in the building of the first house. It still lies in the erection of every new house. It is the danger of thereby limiting and materializing our idea of God. If, in our... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 66:1-4

SECTION XII .— FINAL THREATENINGS AND PROMISES ( Isaiah 66:1-24 .). THE UNGODLY EXILES REBUKED . Israel, being about to return from the Captivity, had the design of rebuilding the temple and re-establishing the temple worship. God rebukes this design in persons devoid of any spirit of holiness, and warns them that mere formal outward worship is an abomination to him ( Isaiah 66:1-3 ). In Isaiah 66:4 he threatens them with punishment. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 66:2

All these things — i.e. heaven and earth hath mine hand made ; i.e. have I, Jehovah, brought into existence. How, then, can I need that men should build me a house? All these things have been , saith the Lord. The sentence seems incomplete. Mr. Cheyne supplies, "I spoke." The sentence will then run, "I spoke, and all these things crone into being, saith Jehovah;" i.e. heaven and earth, and all things that are therein, came into being at my word (comp. Genesis 1:1 ; Genesis 2:1 ... read more
