G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 52:1-12

The second message (verses Isa 52:1-6 ) calls on Zion to awake and put on her strength and her beautiful garments, because she is to be cleansed of all internal defilement. Though she had been sold into slavery for naught, her redemption is determined on, and she is to know Jehovah as the name of Him who is able to accomplish His purpose. The third (verses Isa 52:7-12 ) describes the return of Jehovah to His people. It is announced by runners and watchmen, and results in an outburst of song.... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 52:1-12

Yahweh Is Called On To Awake and Reveal His Power and Israel Are To Awake To The Power And Holiness Of Their Redeeming God (Isaiah 51:9 to Isaiah 52:12 ). God having given to His faithful people the commands to ‘listen -- attend -- listen’ the prophet now calls on Yahweh also to awaken on behalf of His people, for Him too there is a plea that He listen to the call of His people. It is then followed by a call to all His people to awake. Thus there is a threefold call to ‘awake, awake’, in... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 52:7-12

The Proclamation of the Good News of Yahweh’s Deliverance; The Message Is To Be Taken To The World (Isaiah 52:7-12 ). Isaiah is so confident that God will deliver His people, that he already visualises God’s Servant (the Messiah and His true followers) going out onto the mountains of the world to take good news to the ‘Zion’ among the peoples (compare Isaiah 49:11), telling them that God reigns. The parallels between these verses and Isaiah 2:2-4 should be noted. Here he is explaining in more... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 52:1-12

Isaiah 51:17 to Isaiah 52:12 . The Sorrow of Jerusalem, which shall Give Place to Joy. Isaiah 51:17-Proverbs : . The prophet, obviously familiar with the vision of Jeremiah 25:15, pictures Jerusalem as staggering under the stupefaction caused by the draught which Yahweh in His anger has compelled her to drink. Two pairs of evils (expressed in Heb. by word-plays) have befallen her, and who is there to comfort her (read “ who shall” for “ how shall I” with VSS). Under the fury of Yahweh her... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 52:10

Hath made bare his holy arm; hath discovered and put forth his great power, which for a long time hath lain hid, and seemed to be idle. All the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God; all nations of the world shall with astonishment behold the wonderful work of God, first in bringing his people out of Babylon, and afterwards in their redemption by Christ. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 52:10

THE GREAT REVIVALIsaiah 52:10. The Lord hath made bare His holy arm, &c.When the heroes of old prepared for the fight, they put on their armour; but when God prepares for battle, He makes bare His arm, that He may do His work in earnest and accomplish His purpose for the establishment of His Church. Leaving the figure, which is a very great one, I will remind you that its meaning is fully carried out whenever God is pleased to send a great revival of religion. [1590][1590] The loose sleeve... read more

Spurgeon's Verse Expositions of the Bible - Isaiah 52:10

The Great Revival March 28th, 1858 by C. H. SPURGEON (1834-1892) "The Lord hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God." Isaiah 52:10 . When the Heros of old prepared for the fight they put on their armour; but when God prepares for battle he makes bare his arm. Man has to look two ways to his own defence, as well as to the offence of his enemy; God hath but one direction in which to cast his eye the overthrow... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 52:1-15

Isaiah 52:1 . There shall no more come to thee the uncircumcised. The temple being often profaned after the captivity, this prophecy must have an ultimate reference to the glory of the church in the latter day. Isaiah 60:0. Micah 4:0. Against the true church the gates of hell shall not prevail. Isaiah 52:4 . My people went down aforetime into Egypt and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause. Egypt is called Assyria, as in Ezekiel 31:3, because the Assyrian cruelties were now become... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Isaiah 52:8-12

Isaiah 52:8-12Thy watchmen shall lift up the voiceThe return from exileFrom the glowing periods of this paragraph we can reconstruct the picture of the return from exile, as it presented itself to the seer.It was notably the return of the Lord to Zion (Isaiah 52:8, R.V.). The stately procession moves slowly and fearlessly. It is not the escape of a band of fugitive slaves, dreading pursuit and recapture: “Ye shall not go out in haste, neither shall ye go by flight.” Before it speed the... read more
