Isaiah 27:6-28:13,Luke 5:12-39

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 27:1-6

The prophet is here singing of judgment and mercy, I. Of judgment upon the enemies of God's church (Isa. 27:1), tribulation to those that trouble it, 2 Thess. 1:6. When the Lord comes out of his place, to punish the inhabitants of the earth (Isa. 26:21), he will be sure to punish leviathan, the dragon that is in the sea, every proud oppressing tyrant, that is the terror of the mighty, and, like the leviathan, is so fierce that none dares stir him up, and his heart as hard as a stone, and when... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 27:6

He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root ,.... That is, the posterity of Jacob, the seed of Israel, in a spiritual sense; such who are Israelites indeed, in whom there is no guile; these shall be so far from being plucked up, or rooted out of the vineyard, the church, that they shall take deeper root, and their roots shall spread yet more and more; they shall be rooted and grounded in the love of God, and also in Christ, and be built up in him, as well as firmly settled and... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 27:6

To take root "From the root" - For ישרש yashresh , I read, with the Syriac, משרש mishshoresh . And for ופרח יציץ yatsits uparach , פרח יציצו yatsitsu parach , joining the ו vau to the first word, and taking that into construction with the first part of the sentence, Israel shall bud forth. I suppose the dialogue to be continued in this verse, which pursues the same image of the allegory, but in the way of metaphor. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 27:1-11

God's treatment of the rebellious and the righteous. Amid the different and difficult interpretations and the numerous and dubious applications given to these verses, we may discern some truths respecting God's treatment of human character. I. HIS TREATMENT OF THE WICKED . 1. The sharpness of his instruments . He punishes with "a sore and great and strong sword" ( Isaiah 27:1 ) He "whets his glitter-nag sword ( Deuteronomy 32:41 ). Out of the mouth of the Son of God... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 27:1-13

In that day. We have here a general picture of the events which precede the condition of the inauguration of a new era. I. THE FIGHT WITH THE MONSTER OR MONSTERS . We cannot enter into the subject of this symbolism, in reference to which, in the absence of definite information, so much of fanciful interpretation has gathered. We cannot refer the serpent or the dragon to the storm-cloud, or lightning, as some have done; nor historically to Egypt and Assyria. Something much... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 27:2-6

GOD 'S CARE FOR HIS VINEYARD . This piece may be called a companion picture to Isaiah 5:1-7 , or a joy-song to be set over against that dirge. In both the figure of the vineyard is employed to express the people of God, and God is "the Lord of the vineyard." But whereas, on the former occasion, all was wrath and fury, menace and judgment, here all is mercy and loving-kindness, protection and promise. The difference is, no doubt, not with God, "with whom is no variableness, neither... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 27:6

He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root ; rather, in the days to come Jacob shall strike root . Jacob, lately the vineyard, is now compared to a single vine, which becomes strong by striking its roots deep into the soil, and then, as a consequence , blossoms and buds, and fills the face of the world with fruit. So the Israel of God, firmly rooted in the soil of God's favor, would blossom with graces of all kinds, and bring forth the abundant fruit of good works. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 27:6

The world-mission of Israel. Just as "no man liveth unto himself," but every man liveth for the circle in which he is set, so no nation liveth unto itself—it liveth for the world of nations in its time, and for all the ages. This universal truth is illustrated for us in the case of prominent, or elect, or selected nations. Egypt keeps alive the sense of mystery for the world, the claims of the unknown. Chaldea pleads in all the world for the claims of human observation, for the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 27:6

He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root - This language is derived from the vine, as the shoots or cuttings of the vine take root and flourish. To take root, therefore, is an emblem denoting that the descendants of Jacob, or the people of God, would increase and prosper.Shall blossom and bud - An image also taken from the vine, or from fruit trees in general, and meaning that they should greatly flourish in the time succeeding their return from the captivity.And fill the face of the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 27:6

Isaiah 27:6. He shall cause them of Jacob to take root To be firmly settled in their possessions. The words may be rendered, In times to come he shall cause Jacob to take root. Israel shall blossom and bud Shall revive and flourish. The metaphor of a vine is still pursued, and these expressions signify the increase of the Jewish people, after their return from their captivity in Babylon. And fill the face of the world with fruit Their posterity shall be so numerous that their own land... read more
