Isaiah 63:8 WEB

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Isaiah 63:7-14

IV.—THE FOURTH DISCOURSEThe Prophet in Spirit puts Himself in the Place of the Exiled Church, and bears its Cause in Prayer before the Lords Isaiah 63:7 to Isaiah 64:11Chapters 60–63. 6, are like a prophetic high plateau, which the Prophet, by means of chapters 58 and 59 has ascended out of his own time. In this fourth discourse he comes down again to the present time, that is to say, to a time relatively present, to that of the people in exile. He transports himself entirely into this time, as... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 63:1-9

the Mighty Savior Isaiah 63:1-9 For long years there had been virulent hostility between Israel and Edom. It began when Esau and Jacob were lads. It broke out in bitterness when Edom denied Israel the right of passage, Numbers 20:20-21 . When Babylon had triumphed over Jerusalem, Edom urged that her walls should be leveled to the ground, Psalms 137:7 . How great the change pictured here! The prophet stands at the division of the two countries, looking south, from the foothills of Judah... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 63:1-19

The last section of Isaiah (63-66) sets forth anew the operation of the principle of discrimination. All the blessing which has been described can result only from holiness, and ere that can be established there must be the period of judgment. In the first section the prophet describes the Warrior returning from the conflict. While that conflict is described, it is from the standpoint of its completion. One is seen returning with crimson garments, marching in the greatness of His strength. In... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 63:7-19

The Response of Jacob Through Isaiah (Isaiah 63:7 to Isaiah 64:12 ). In response to the glory and fierceness of the One Who is coming Isaiah, fearfully aware of what the future might hold, especially in the light of the revelations given to him, and knowing the spiritual condition of his own people, brings God into remembrance of what He has done for His people in the past. He draws out how He has chosen them and through them brought great glory to His name, and then pleads for Him to act... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 63:8

‘For he said, “Surely they are my people, children who will not deal falsely.” So he was their Saviour.’ In the past Yahweh had looked at His people, choosing them out and assuring Himself that because He had chosen them as His people they would not deal falsely, for were they not His own people (Exodus 6:7), yes, His children. Surely those whom He had chosen and with whom He had made His covenant would not deal falsely? (This is Isaiah’s vivid way of bringing out the point that Yahweh treated... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 63:7-14

Isaiah 63:7-2 Chronicles : . A Recital of Yahweh’ s Kindness to His People of Old.— This passage seems to be a liturgy of thanksgiving: resemblance to Pss. is obvious.I will recount Yahweh’ s acts of love, His deeds of renown, in accordance with all that Yahweh, great in goodness ( cf. LXX), has done for us. He thought, “ Surely they are My people, sons that will not play Me false.” So He became their deliverer in all their distress. Following LXX, connect the first four words of Isaiah 63:9... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 63:8

For he said, viz. within himself of old, when he made a covenant with our fathers, and brought them out of Egypt, Surely they are my people, in covenant; though they are unworthy of me, yet I cannot but look upon them as my people. Their enemies would persuade themselves, O they are not God’s people, but cast-outs, that none cared for or looked after; but God will own them. Children that will not lie; that will keep my covenant; they will not deal falsely with me, that are under such... read more

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Isaiah 63:8

DISCOURSE: 1014VEXING THE HOLY SPIRITIsaiah 63:8; Isaiah 63:10. He said, Surely they are my people, children that will not lie: so he was their Saviour…But they rebelled, and vexed his Holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them.WE all notice with wonder the perverseness of the Jewish people, and justify in our minds the judgments inflicted on them. But it would be well, it, when looking at them, we beheld our own selves, as in a glass: for verily the... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Isaiah 63:1-19

By Chuck SmithNow before the restoration, the day of God's wrath is coming, the Great Tribulation. This must precede it. And chapter 63, the first six verses go into the Great Tribulation period. And there are two questions that are asked and they are answered by the Lord.Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? ( Isaiah 63:1 )The question: who is this that is coming from Edom with the dyed garment from Bozrah? And the answer:this that is glorious in his apparel,... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 63:1-19

Isaiah 63:1 . With dyed garments from Bozrah. Not the Bozrah in Moab, but Bozrah, the capital of Idumea. Perhaps it was because Judas Maccabeus slaughtered twenty thousand of them in one battle, that certain Jews, followed by many Christians, have erroneously understood this passage of that prince. But there was a gate in Jerusalem called the gate of Bozrah, through which the Saviour might pass when sent by Pilate to Herod. The answer to the question is given by the Messiah. I that speak... read more
