Isaiah 54:13-14 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 54:11-17

Very precious promises are here made to the church in her low condition, that God would not only continue his love to his people under their troubles as before, but that he would restore them to their former prosperity, nay, that he would raise them to greater prosperity than any they had yet enjoyed. In the foregoing chapter we had the humiliation and exaltation of Christ; here we have the humiliation and exaltation of the church; for, if we suffer with him, we shall reign with him. Observe,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 54:13

And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord ,.... The children of the church, who are born in her, and nursed up at her side, and who are the children of God by adoption, which is made manifest by regeneration; these the Lord will take care of that they be "taught", even "all" of them, from the least to the greatest, Jeremiah 31:34 , they shall be taught of the Lord himself, by his ministers, word, and ordinances, as means, and by his Spirit, as the efficient; by whom they are taught... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 54:14

In righteousness shalt thou be established ,.... In the righteousness of Christ, from whence flows the peace before spoken of, and which is the stability of the church of Christ, and the security of it and its members from condemnation. The doctrine of justification by Christ's righteousness is, as Luther calls it, "articulus stantis vel cadentis ecclesiae", the article of the church, by which, as it is held fast or neglected, it stands or falls: or be established in exercising... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 54:1-17

The future of the Church. "The person addressed is the ideal Zion, who is practically identical with the ideal or spiritual Israel." I. HER FRUITFULNESS . Nothing to an Israelitish mind can suggest more forcibly the idea of desolation and sorrow in a nation or spiritual community than the childless woman. Historically , the restored exiles may be referred to; physically and to some extent spiritually Israelites, but, while on a foreign soil, and unbaptized with the Spirit,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 54:11-17

THE GLORY OF THE NEW JERUSALEM , AND THE HAPPINESS OF ITS INHABITANTS . Hitherto Israel has been addressed; now the direct object of address is Jerusalem. The eye of the prophet passes, however, with a glance, from the actual present to the far-distant future, and sees the Zion of God in her heavenly setting, all bedecked with precious stones, as she was seen by the exile of Patmos more than seven centuries later ( Revelation 21:16-21 ). After briefly describing the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 54:13

All thy children shall be taught of the Lord (comp. Isaiah 44:3 ; Jeremiah 31:33 , Jeremiah 31:34 ; Ezekiel 11:19 ; Joel 2:28 ; Acts 2:17 , Acts 2:18 , etc.). Christians are all of them "taught of God" ( John 6:45 ; 1 Thessalonians 4:9 ). The "anointing," which they have from the Holy Ghost, "teaches them, and is truth, and is no lie" ( 1 John 2:27 ), and causes them to "know all things" ( 1 John 2:20 ). And great shall be the peace of thy children . Messiah was to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 54:13

The prize of life, and its pursuit. "All thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children." We gather from this text— I. THE TRUE PRIZE OF LIFE . What is that thing which is most worth having, most worth the thought of our minds, the strenuous striving of our soul, the labour of our hands? Nations, communities, individual men, have given different replies. One has said case, another wealth, another pleasure, another power, another glory.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 54:13

Divine favour reaching to the children. "And all thy children shall be disciples of Jehovah; and great shall be the peace of thy children." This is probably the passage quoted by our Lord, as recorded in John 6:45 , "It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God." The point on which Isaiah dwells is that the Divine favour shall not be limited to the generation that was actually restored; it would abide from generation to generation, and the guarantee for this would... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 54:14

In righteousness shalt thou be established ; rather, through righteousness. "There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked" ( Isaiah 48:22 ); and conversely, where righteousness abounds, peace prevails, and the nation "is established." Thou shalt be far from oppression; rather, be thou far from anxiety (Delitzsch). Thou shalt not fear ; rather, thou needest not fear. There is no danger—nothing to be afraid of. "They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain" ( Isaiah... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 54:14

The secret of stability. "Through righteousness shalt thou be established." J.A. Alexander paraphrases thus: "When once established by the exercise of righteousness on my part and your own, you may put far off all dread of oppression, for you have no cause to fear it, and of destruction, for it shall not come nigh you" (comp. Isaiah 32:16 , Isaiah 32:17 ). It is not assumed that the restored Jerusalem would have no enemies, only that they would have no commission from God to destroy, as... read more
