F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 12:1-6

a Song of Thanksgiving Isaiah 11:10-16 ; Isaiah 12:1-6 The prophet’s vision extends. He has seen the effect of redemption, as it emanates from Jesus Christ, upon the whole physical creation; now he beholds also the ingathering of all Israel. The ancient enmity between Ephraim and Judah would pass away. As Paul puts it afterward, “All Israel shall be saved,” Romans 11:25-26 . As they were brought out of Egypt, so shall they be brought from all the countries of the world, where they have... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 12:1-6

Here we have the songs of the people concerning the deliverances wrought by the victories of Jehovah. The first celebrates the personal blessings of the day described, while the second sets forth the gracious results to the peoples of the world issuing from the restoration of the people of God. These great and glorious prophecies are not yet fulfilled, but they are as certain of fulfillment as every word of God is sure. read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 12:3

‘Therefore with joy will you draw water out of the wells of salvation.’ Isaiah adds his comment to the song, and speaks to all. ‘You’ is here in the plural. Because of their wonderful deliverance they can all come continually to draw water from the wells of salvation. The spring-fed well was the basis of life for the Israelites. It was alongside wells that they built their cities. From wells they irrigated their crops. And now their saving God has provided a continual spring, welling up... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 12:4-6

‘And in that day you will say, Give thanks to Yahweh, Call on his name, Declare his doings among the peoples, Make mention that his name is exalted.’ Sing to Yahweh, for he has done excellent things, Let this be known in all the earth. Cry aloud, and shout, you inhabitant of Zion, For great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of you.’ The first part of the song looked at themselves, now they look out so that the world might praise Him. They point to His activity, and all that He has done,... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 12:1-6

Isaiah 12. Songs of Thanksgiving.— This is a late appendix to the preceding. It is imitative throughout and copies late passages. Isaiah 11:16 compares Israel’ s return from the Dispersion with the deliverance of the Hebrews at the Exodus. As a song of praise (Exodus 15) celebrates the destruction of the Egyptians at the Red Sea, so two brief songs ( Isaiah 12:1-Leviticus :, Isaiah 12:4-Joshua :) are inserted here, which have close points of contact with Exodus 15 and some Pss., especially... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 12:3

Your thirsty and fainting souls shall be filled with Divine graces and comforts, which you may plentifully draw from God in the use of gospel ordinances, which was oft signified by water, both in the Old and in the New Testament. He seems to allude to the state of Israel in the wilderness, where when they had been tormented with thirst, they were greatly refreshed and delighted with those waters which God so graciously and wonderfully afforded them in that dry and barren land, Numbers 20:11;... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 12:1-6

ISAIAH’S VISION OF THE KING AND OF HIS KINGDOMCHAPTERS 11 AND 12This is one of the visions that Isaiah saw (chap. Isaiah 1:1, Isaiah 2:1, &c.). He was a dreamer of dreams. With a keen perception, not surpassed, of the men and things actually surrounding him, much of his life was passed in an ideal and future world. There he found comfort and strength to endure the sorrows that otherwise would have crushed him. At the outset of his ministry, when the great king who had done so much to... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 12:3

WELLS OF SALVATIONIsaiah 12:3. Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.Salvation is the great theme of the Bible, and thus it meets man’s great need. Think, I. of THE WELLS, the sources of salvation. Clearly these are not found in man himself. Salvation originated in the eternal love of God for man; it flows to sinners through the work of Jesus; it is by the influences of the Holy Spirit that the sinner is made willing to partake of it. These truly are wells of... read more
