Isaiah 40:5-7

The Biblical Illustrator - Isaiah 40:3-5

Isaiah 40:3-5Prepare ye the way of the LordThe way of the Lord preparedI.THE JEWISH THEOCRACY. It is a favourite statement with those who seek to account for Christianity on entirely mundane principles, that Christ grew, as it were, out of His age. The age was waiting for some such Teacher, some such Gospel--and Teacher and Gospel came. Just as the wreck of the Roman Republic demanded a hand and brain like Caesar’s, and they appeared at the critical moment and reorganised the State, so the... read more

So far as the economy of our earth is concerned a period of confusion has immediately preceded the establishment of Divine order. Chaos preceded Paradise.

Isaiah 40:5And the glory of the Lord shall be revealedThe revelation of God’s gloryFrom this animating prophecy we may consider--I.THE GLORY OF THE LORD. When Isaiah was favoured with the Divine vision the angels sang, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts, the whole earth is full of His glory.” Another inspired writer observes, “The heavens declare the glory of God.” In the display of this glory God “hath clothed Himself with light as with a garment”; and hath peculiarly manifested it in... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Isaiah 40:6-8

Isaiah 40:6-8The voice said Cry.And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grassThe earthly transitory: the heavenly enduringWhen we make a judgment of the objects of sense and of faith, “the things that are seen” claim the preference over “the things that are not seen.” The appearance which the world presents is seducing, that which religion exhibits is forbidding. The appearances are deceitful, and the judgment we form of them false. I. THE VANITY OF THE THINGS OF THIS LIFE. Empty as is... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Isaiah 40:5

Isa 40:5 And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see [it] together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken [it]. Ver. 5. And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, ] i.e., Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, Jam 2:1 shall appear in the flesh. Some interpreters understand this whole sermon, ad literam, concerning Christ and redemption wrought by him, yet with an allusion to the Jews’ deliverance out of Babylon; for this was a type of that, like as Cyrus also was of... read more

What shall I cry? All flesh is grass. ] This is taught by every philosopher, saith Sasbout: but never is it taught effectually till cried to the heart by God’s Word and Spirit, for which reason also it is not uttered here without a preparative, by way of dialogue, to stir up to attention.

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Isaiah 40:7

Isa 40:7 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people [is] grass. Ver. 7. Because the Spirit of the Lord bloweth upon it. ] Or, when the breath of the Lord bloweth upon it. God can easily blow men to destruction, dissipate them as so many vile dust heaps. Job 4:9 ; Job 34:14-15 Psa 104:29 Dan 2:34-35 Zec 4:6 Surely the people is grass. ] Have we not heard; have we not seen from the beginning; doth not every day’s... read more
