Isaiah 25:6

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 25:6-8

If we suppose (as many do) that this refers to the great joy which there should be in Zion and Jerusalem when the army of the Assyrians was routed by an angel, or when the Jews were released out of their captivity in Babylon, or upon occasion of some other equally surprising deliverance, yet we cannot avoid making it to look further, to the grace of the gospel and the glory which is the crown and consummation of that grace; for it is at our resurrection through Christ that the saying here... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 25:6

And in this mountain shall the Lord of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things ,.... Which is to be understood, not of the ultimate glory of the saints in heaven; which is sometimes represented by a feast; and the participation of it, by sitting down with the saints at a table in the kingdom of God, and by drinking wine there, to which state the best things are reserved, Matthew 8:11 , but rather of the Gospel dispensation, which lies in the ministration of the word and... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 25:6

In this mountain - Zion, at Jerusalem. In his Church. Shall the Lord of hosts make unto all people a feast - Salvation by Jesus Christ. A feast is a proper and usual expression of joy in consequence of victory, or any other great success. The feast here spoken of is to be celebrated on Mount Sion; and all people, without distinction, are to be invited to it. This can be no other than the celebration of the establishment of Christ's kingdom, which is frequently represented in the Gospel... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 25:1-8

Hymn of praise to Jehovah. I. THE PERSONAL APPROPRIATION OF GOD . This is one of the great marks of personal, spiritual religion. Other nations have known their gods as leaders in war, protectors of hearth and home; it was reserved for Israel and for Christianity to think of the High and Holy One as tenanting the heart and soul of the believer. Jehovah is not only "my father's God,"—this would be merely traditional religion; but "my God," "my Salvation,"—this is personal religion... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 25:1-12

ISAIAH 'S SONG OF PRAISE ON THE ESTABLISHMENT OF GOD 'S KINGDOM . AS in Isaiah 12:1-6 , after describing the first setting up of Christ's kingdom and the call of the Gentiles, the prophet broke out into song, through joy at the tidings he was commissioned to announce, so now, having proclaimed the final establishment of the same kingdom in the heavenly Zion, he is again carried away by the sense of exultant gladness into a fresh Lobgesang , which he utters in his... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 25:1-12

The place of thanksgiving in the religious life. It is generally agreed by Christians that the religious life embraces a considerable number of separate duties of a strictly religious character. Among these the first place is ordinarily assigned to prayer; the second to reading of the Scriptures; the third, perhaps, to meditation; and so forth. But it is not always, or indeed very often, that a distinct position, or a very prominent position, is assigned to praise and thanksgiving. Prayer is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 25:6

In this mountain ; i.e. the heavenly Zion—the "mountain of the Lord's house" ( Isaiah 2:2 ; comp. Isaiah 24:23 ). Unto all people ; rather, unto all peoples . There is no restriction of salvation to any particular race or nation—"Jew, Greek, barbarian, Scythian, bond, free" ( Colossians 3:11 ), are equally invited, and some of each come in (comp. Daniel 7:14 ; Matthew 8:11 ; Revelation 5:9 ; Revelation 7:9 ). The Church of the redeemed contains men and women of all... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 25:6

Divine provision for the human soul. In the vegetable and animal kingdoms God has made full and rich provision for all the wants and cravings of our body—for its revival, its nourishment, its strength, its enjoyment. In the gospel of his grace he has granted us the most ample and generous provision for our spiritual nature. In Christ Jesus, in "the truth as it is in him," and in his holy service, we have all we need for— I. OUR SPIRITUAL REVIVAL . Food, especially wine, is given to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 25:6

Jehovah's feast after reconciliation. The picture in this text is based upon the familiar custom in Judaism of associating a sacrificial feast with a thank offering or peace offering. Such feasts were highly festive and joyous occasions. As an instance of the custom, reference may be made to the scene of the anointing of King Saul. Samuel made a feast, after sacrifice, to which some thirty persons were bidden ( 1 Samuel 9:19 , 1 Samuel 9:22 ). "According to the Mosaic Law, the fat pieces... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 25:6-8

The blessings of the final state are now touched upon, as a special subject for thanksgiving. They are not enumerated; but a certain number are set forth, as specimens from which we may form a conception of the general condition of the "saved." These are: read more
