Isaiah 52:11, Isaiah 52:12 KJV

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 52:11-12

Isaiah 52:11-12. Depart ye, go ye out from thence Out of Babylon into your own land, that there I may meet with you, and bless you, and perform those further and greater things for you which I have promised to do there. And this invitation was the more necessary, because God foresaw that a great number of the Jews would, upon worldly considerations, continue in those foreign countries in which they were settled, and would be very backward to return to the Holy Land. Touch no unclean thing ... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 52:1-12

Joy in Jerusalem (52:1-12)In view of these promises, the prophet urges the captive Jews to prepare for the return to Jerusalem. The city that heathen armies defiled and destroyed will be rebuilt, to become strong, holy and beautiful again (52:1-2).God will redeem his people from slavery, but he will not pay the slave-owner (Babylon) any ransom (3). In earlier days the Israelites were made slaves in Egypt, even though they went there in peace. They then established themselves in Canaan, but... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 52:11

"Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; cleanse yourselves, ye that bear the vessels of Jehovah. For ye shall not go out in haste, neither shall ye go by flight; for Jehovah will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rearward."Compare this with Isaiah 48:20, where the instructions for Israel contained the word "flee." Thus we have again that oft-repeated Biblical characteristic of repeating sacred records, or instructions,... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 52:11-12

Isaiah 52:11-12. Depart ye, &c.— They who compose the true church are set forth in this apostrophe, as in the communion of a certain polluted people and state. They are commanded to separate themselves from this people and its communion, and, being properly purified, to depart thence upon a certain expedition, to be undertaken with mature and deliberate counsel, under the care and protection of the divine providence. This office is especially imposed upon the sacred persons, who are here... read more

Nebuchadnezzar had carried them to Babylon (Revelation 18:4- :).

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 52:1-12

Released Zion 52:1-12God next called on His people to prepare to receive the salvation that He would provide for them. They would have to lay hold of it by faith for it to benefit them."The third ’wake-up call’ (Isaiah 52:1-6) is also addressed to Jerusalem and is a command not only to wake up but to dress up! It is not enough for her to put off her stupor (Isaiah 51:17-23); she must also put on her glorious garments." [Note: Wiersbe, p. 57.] The first "wake-up call" is in Isaiah 51:9-16. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 52:9-12

Awakening to deliverance 51:9-52:12The presence and repetition of the call to awake (Isaiah 51:9; Isaiah 51:17; Isaiah 52:1) identifies this unit of prophetic material as one. The Israelites were to wake up to the power of God that had not changed (Isaiah 51:9-16), and to the purpose of God, namely: His plan for their life (Isaiah 51:17-23). They should also wake up to the peace of God, since He would not abandon them (Isaiah 52:1-12). [Note: Dyer, in The Old . . ., p. 573.] The section begins... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 52:11

In view of this salvation, the redeemed should depart from the unclean place where they had been, and purify themselves. The Babylonian exiles, who would be set free, should return to Jerusalem to reestablish their holy lives, in a holy city, in a holy land. The decision of many Israelites to remain in Babylon rather than returning with Zerubbabel, Ezra, or Nehemiah, was sinful rebellion against God’s revealed will for them. Some of them, such as Daniel perhaps, may not have been able to... read more
