Isaiah 27:1

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 27:1-13

God’s Care for His Vineyard Isaiah 27:1-13 Throughout these chapters we must remember that the doom of Babylon and the restoration of God’s people are symbolical of other events, for which the world is preparing. Then Babylon the Great shall give place to the Holy City, which comes down out of heaven from God. Egypt and Babylon are represented by the leviathan, a general term applicable to any great water animal. The one had its Nile, the other its Euphrates. Parallel with the destruction of... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 27:1-13

This circle of prophecy ends with a message which describes the process toward ultimate restoration, and announces its certainty. The way to restoration is the way of judgment, and this the prophet first announces in figurative language. The first issue of judgment will be restoration of God's chosen people, and the prophet refers to this under the figure of the vineyard. This figure stands in striking contrast to that in chapter five. The vineyard of the Lord of hosts is now seen as kept by... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 27:1

The Destruction of the Great Serpent Monsters (Isaiah 27:1 ). In this one verse Yahweh declares the bringing about of His purpose of judgement on all who stand against Him, whether man or god, in fulfilment of Isaiah 26:20-21. Some see this as a description of three monsters needing to be slain (representing the Tigris, the Euphrates and the Nile), others see it as one monster in a poetic threefold description. Either is possible. In them is summed up all evil empires under their evil... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 27:1

Shall punish leviathan; what kind of creature the leviathan is, See Poole "Job 41:1", &c.; whence it is evident that it was a very great and terrible sea-monster. But here it is certain that the expression is metaphorical, and that by this leviathan, serpent, and dragon (for all signify the same thing) he understands some very powerful enemy or enemies (for the singular number may be here put for the plural, as it is in many other places) of God, and of his church or people, which may well... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 27:1-13

Isaiah 27:1 . In that day the Lord shall punish leviathan. It would seem that the Assyrian and Chaldean empire are here intended. See on Job 41:1. Amos 9:13. The desolations mentioned in the tenth verse appear to indicate the same thing; for cattle should feed in their once strong but now desolate city. In the prophetic style, these are indications of utter execration. By the dragon, the Egyptian nation, it would seem, was intended; and both those kingdoms received their scourge from... read more

So Pharaoh had been formerly; and he is called “leviathan,” and the “dragon” (Psalms 74:14; Isaiah 51:9; Ezekiel 29:3). And the New Testament Church has had its leviathans; we read of a “great red dragon, ready to devour it” (Revelation 12:3). Those... read more
