59:4 None calleth for justice, nor [any] {b} pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and {c} bring forth iniquity.(b) All men wink at the injuries and oppressions and none go about to remedy them.(c) According to their wicked devices, they hurt their neighbours. read more
MEETING OF THE AGES We are drawing to the end of the present, and the opening of the Millennial age. The prophet’s eye rests on the time when Israel is back in her land, the majority still unconverted to Christ and worshiping in a restored temple. There is a faithful remnant waiting for Him, though enduring the persecution of the false christ. This persecution may often be felt at the hands of their own brethren after the flesh. These facts must be assumed in the interpretation of these... read more
Here is a long and sad account of men's revolt and transgression, which fully explains what was said before, as well as accounts for the divine corrections which followed. Men may well wait for the light, and grope in darkness, when all the faculties are either benumbed with sin, or if alive are employed in the services of Satan, as here described; and how shall they know the way of peace, when their pursuits are all after sin? There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked, Isaiah 57:21 . read more
Justice. They arraign unjustly. None call upon the just God, but trust in idols. --- Iniquity. They kill themselves, while they strive to injure others, Psalm vii. 15., and Micheas ii. 1. read more
1-8 If our prayers are not answered, and the salvation we wait for is not wrought for us, it is not because God is weary of hearing prayer, but because we are weary of praying. See here sin in true colours, exceedingly sinful; and see sin in its consequences, exceedingly hurtful, separating from God, and so separating us, not only from all good, but to all evil. Yet numbers feed, to their own destruction, on infidel and wicked systems. Nor can their skill or craft, in devising schemes, as the... read more
Isa_59:1 Isa_60:5 The glorious promises contained in the closing verses of Isa 58.0 , may have sounded idealistic and visionary even in Isaiah's day, and more so in our day, when in spite of every effort the problem of Israel and its land seems insoluble. What has delayed, and still delays, the realization of such promises? The opening verses of Isa 59.0 give the answer. Unbelieving men would make Israel's plight a ground of complaint and reproach against God. Either He was indifferent so that... read more
Iniquities Separate from God v. 1. Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened that it cannot save, it was not want of power on His part which delayed deliverance; neither His ear heavy that it cannot hear, it was not unwillingness on His part to hear the people's prayer for help; v. 2. but your iniquities, the sins by which they loaded guilt upon themselves, have separated between you and your God, erecting a barrier which made it impossible for the Lord to come to their aid, and your sins... read more
b) To the complaint of the people concerning Jehovah’s inability is opposed the charge of moral corruptionIsaiah 59:1-81 Behold, the Lord’s hand is not 1shortened, that it cannot save;Neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your GodAnd your sins 2have hid His face from you, that He will not hear.3 For your hands are defiled with bloodAnd your fingers with iniquity;Your lips have spoken lies, your tongue 3hath muttered... read more
Iniquities Separate from God Isaiah 59:1-15 Israel’s sins , Isaiah 59:1-8 . Much of our suffering in life results from our sins, which cut off God’s health and help. Let us not blame Providence, but set ourselves to discover the cause of controversy. When the law courts-the fountains of justice-are demoralized, the community is in a hopeless condition, Isaiah 59:3-4 . Instead of stamping out evil in the egg, the sinful heart hatches it out, and it yields the poison of vipers, Isaiah 59:5 .... read more
