Isaiah 54:13 - Exposition

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 be "the Prince of Peace" ( Isaiah 9:6 ). His birth heralded the coming of "peace on earth" ( Luke 2:14 ). So far forth as men are true Christians, does peace reign in the conscience and show itself in the life. Externally there may be persecution, tumult, wars, fightings; but internally, in each heart, there will be a "peace that passes all understanding" ( Philippians 4:7 ). God "keeps in perfect peace" those" whose minds are stayed on him" ( Isaiah 26:3 ).
