Isaiah 11:14 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 11:10-16

We have here a further prophecy of the enlargement and advancement of the kingdom of the Messiah, under the type and figure of the flourishing condition of the kingdom of Judah in the latter end of Hezekiah's reign, after the defeat of Sennacherib. I. This prediction was in part accomplished when the great things God did for Hezekiah and his people proved as an ensign, inviting the neighbouring nations to them to enquire of the wonders done in the land, on which errand the king of Babylon's... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 11:14

But they shall flee upon the shoulders of the Philistines towards the west ,.... That is, Ephraim and Judah, who shall not only agree among themselves, but cheerfully join together against the common enemy: "they shall flee with the shoulder", as some render the words; with joint consent, as the phrase is used in Hosea 6:9 , Zephaniah 3:9 and so the Targum, "and they shall be joined together in one shoulder, to smite the Philistines;' the Septuagint version is, "they shall flee in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 11:10-16

Judah and the nations. I. HONOR TO THE ROOT OF JUDAH . The scion from the ancient trunk will be honored far and wide among the heathen, because of those virtues already described in the preceding section. It will be a banner to which they will flock, a center of light and living oracles. II. REDEMPTION OF THE REMNANT . The mighty hand of Jehovah will be stretched forth to gather the scattered ones from all the four quarters of their dispersion. When the banner is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 11:13-16

Conditions of victory. These verses probably point to the time when all Israel shall be gathered into the fold of the gospel, and when" their fullness" shall contribute largely to the conversion of the Gentile world (see Romans 11:1-36 .). But we may take a more practical view of the subject if we regard it thus; we have pictures of— I. PRESENT SPIRITUAL ANARCHY . The people of God everywhere dispersed, the theocracy broken up, the temple destroyed, the Law unobserved, the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 11:14

They shall fly upon the shoulders of the philistines . It is not to be supposed that actual war is intended. The subjects of the Prince of Peace will not draw the sword. But the Church will for many centuries be confronted by enemies, and must contend with them with legitimate weapons. It is this warfare of which Isaiah now speaks. The united Church will be strong enough to assail her enemies on all sides, and will "swoop" upon the border country of the Philistines like a bird of prey. They... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 11:14

The Church's triumph over its enemies. The Church of God will always have its enemies, both internal and external, and its external enemies will from time to time gather their hosts, and unite themselves together, and threaten it with destruction. Great was Israel's peril, and great her fear, when her enemies "consulted together with one consent, and were confederate against her: the tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes; Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 11:14-16

THE UNITED CHURCH SHALL TRIUMPH OVER ITS ENEMIES . PHYSICAL OBSTACLES TO ITS UNION GOD WILL REMOVE . Israel's most persistent enemies had been the border-nations of the Philistines, the Edomites, the Arabs, Moab and Ammon. These are now taken as types of the enemies of the Church, and victory over them is promised ( Isaiah 11:14 ). A further promise is made that physical difficulties shall not prevent the return of the Jewish exiles from distant countries ( ... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 11:14

But they shall fly - The design of this verse is, to show the rapid and certain spiritual conquests which would result from the conversion of the scattered Jewish people. The Jews understood this literally, as referring to the conquests over their enemies. But if the exposition which has been given of this chapter thus far is correct, the passage is to be interpreted as a figurative description of the triumph of the people of God under the Messiah. The “time” to which it refers, is that which... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 11:13-14

Isaiah 11:13-14. The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, &c. Ephraim here stands for the ten tribes and the prophet alludes to the great emulations and contentions which had subsisted between them and Judah: but his intention is to set forth the spiritual state of the Jews after their conversion to the faith of the gospel, which he predicts, 1st, “That all envy shall be extinguished among them, and a true brotherly love shall fill their souls; and, 2d, That, joined to the Gentiles, they... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 11:1-16

The Messiah’s kingdom (11:1-12:6)A leading theme of this part of the book is that God preserves a remnant out of the destruction of Israel and Judah. Earlier this remnant was likened to the stump of a tree from which springs new life (see 6:13). The remnant is now identified with the royal line of David (son of Jesse) from which comes the Messiah (11:1). The Messiah reverences God and, having the Spirit of God in unlimited measure, knows how to apply God’s wisdom in ruling God’s people. He is... read more
