Isaiah 25:6-9 ESV

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

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 25:6

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

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 25:7

And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people ,.... Or, "the covering of the face" F6 פני הלוט "velum faciei", Piscator. ; that which has covered the face of all people; that darkness which has been spread over them, partly by Mahomet, and his Alcoran, and partly by the pope of Rome, and his party; the covering of human doctrines and traditions seems chiefly intended, which now will be removed, as well as all Pagan and Mahometan darkness,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 25:8

He will swallow up death in victory ,.... Or, "for ever" F7 לנצח "in sempiternum", Munster, Pagninus, Montanus; "in aeternum", Piscator. . This is to be understood, not of a spiritual death, which is swallowed up in conversion, and of which those that are quickened shall never die more; nor of the conversion of the Jews, which will be as life from the dead; nor of the civil death of the witnesses, and of their rising, who afterwards will never die more, in that sense; but of a... 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 25:6

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

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 25:7

The face of the covering cast over all people "The covering that covered the face of all the peoples" - MS. Bodl. reads כל פני על al peney chol . The word פני peney , face, has been removed from its right place into the line above, where it makes no sense; as Houbigant conjectured. "The face of the covering," etc. He will unveil all the Mosaic ritual, and show by his apostles that it referred to, and was accomplished in, the sacrificial offering of Jesus Christ. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 25:8

He will swallow up death - He, by the grace of God, will taste death for every man. Hebrews 2:9 . Probably, swallow up death, and taste death, in both these verses, refer to the same thing: Jesus dying instead of a guilty world. These forms of speech may refer to the punishment of certain criminals; they were obliged to drink a cup of poison. That cup which every criminal in the world must have drunk, Jesus Christ drank for them; and thus he swallowed up death: but as he rose again from... 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
