Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 25:9-12

Here is, I. The welcome which the church shall give to these blessings promised in the foregoing verses (Isa. 25:9): It shall be said in that day, with a humble holy triumph and exultation, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him! Thus will the deliverance of the church out of long and sore troubles be celebrated; thus will it be as life from the dead. With such transports of joy and praise will those entertain the glad tidings of the Redeemer who looked for him, and for redemption in... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 25:9

And it shall be said in that day ,.... When the feast will be made for all the Lord's people; when the veil and covering shall be removed; when death will be swallowed up in victory; when all tears shall be wiped away from the saints; when their rebuke shall be taken away from them; all which will be at the glorious appearing of Christ. Lo, this is our God ; and not the idols of the Gentiles, or the works of their hands; but Christ, who is God over all, blessed for ever; Immanuel, God... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 25:9

It shall be said "Shall they say" - So the Septuagint and Vulgate, in the plural number. They read ואמרו veameru , the Syriac reads ואמרת veamarta , thou shalt say. They shall say, i.e., the Jews and the Gentiles - Lo, this [Jesus Christ] is our God: we have waited for him, according to the predictions of the prophets. We have expected him, and we have not been disappointed; therefore will we be glad, and rejoice in his salvation. 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 25:8-9

The evening of expectation. Of this passage we may look at— I. ITS PRIMARY HISTORICAL APPLICATION . (See Exposition.) II. ITS APPLICATION TO THE CHURCH OF CHRIST . The Church of Christ is "the Israel of God," and we may expect much of the language first used in reference to the Jewish nation to be appropriate to it and even intended for its service. Like ancient Israel, the Church has found itself in great humiliation and distress, and has been in sore need of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 25:9

It shall be said ; literally, one shall say ; i.e. the redeemed generally shall thus express themselves. We have waited for him . During all the weary time of their oppression and persecution, the godly remnant ( Isaiah 24:13-15 ) was "waiting fur the Lord," i.e. trusting in him, expecting him to arise and scatter his enemies, won-daring that he endured so long the "contradiction of sinners against himself" ( Hebrews 12:3 ), but content to abide his determination of the fitting... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 25:9

Waiting on God. "This is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us." Waiting on God. Waiting for God. Waiting on when all is dark. Waiting still, when commotions and troubles surround us. Bidding us wait for him, a way of the Lord's dealing with us. Making it hard to wait, a sign of God's severer dealing with us. And wafting sanctified to our soul-culture. These are subjects very suggestive to Christian meditation. I. WAITING CIRCUMSTANCES . It was a waiting-time for the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 25:9-12

After thanksgiving for deliverance in the past, and commemoration of blessings in the present, confidence is expressed in the future. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 25:9-12

Song of the redeemed. I. THE STATE OF THE CHOSEN PEOPLE . They will be in the joyous realization of long-awaited blessings. A brief strain from their hymn is given— "Lo! here is our God! For him we have waited that he should save us; This is Jehovah, for whom we have waited; Let us exult and rejoice in his salvation!" As "a sorrow's crown of sorrow is remembering happier things," so the crown of joy is the recollection of past miseries in the hour of deliverance. And... read more
