Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 66:15-24

These verses, like the pillar of cloud and fire, have a dark side towards the enemies of God's kingdom and all that are rebels against his crown, and a bright side towards his faithful loyal subjects. Probably they refer to the Jews in captivity in Babylon, of whom some are said to have been sent thither for their hurt, and with them God here threatens to proceed in his controversy; they hated to be reformed, and therefore should be ruined by the calamity (Jer. 24:9); others were sent thither... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 66:18

For I know their works, and their thoughts ,.... That is, of the persons before described; their evil works and thoughts, which are known to Christ the discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart, whose eyes are as a flame of fire to pierce and penetrate into them, Revelation 2:18 or, "as for me F12 ואנוכי "ad me vero quod attinet", Piscator, De Dieu, Cocceius, Vitringa. , their works and their thoughts"; as I know them, and abhor them, I will take vengeance on them for... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 66:19

And I will set a sign among them ,.... Either a miraculous sign, something wonderful, as the word is often used, Exodus 4:8 , not the effusion of the Spirit on the day of Pentecost, in the presence of men of all nations; or the miracles wrought in the Gentile world by the apostles, in confirmation of the Gospel; but rather the wonderful conversion of the Jews, Isaiah 66:8 , or those wonders, the time of the end of which is inquired, Daniel 12:6 or else some distinguishing sign or mark... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 66:20

And they shall bring all your brethren, for an offering unto the Lord, out of all nations ,.... This is not said of the Jews, either with respect to the first times of the Gospel; not of the devout men of all nations that heard the apostles on the day of Pentecost; nor of those the Gospel met with in the Gentile world, by the ministry of the apostles, to whom Peter and James write their epistles; or, in the latter day, such who remain in the several nations after the general conversion of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 66:21

And I will also take of them for priests ,.... That is, of the Gentiles, the brethren brought as an offering to the Lord; and therefore must respect Gospel times, when the Aaronic priesthood would be changed and cease, which admitted not of Gentiles, nor any of any other tribe in Israel, but the tribe of Levi; nor is this to be understood of the spiritual priesthood common to all believers, 1 Peter 2:5 since of those converted Gentiles brought, not all, but only some of them, would be... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 66:22

For as the new heavens, and the new earth, which I will make ,.... Not "have made"; for this is not to be understood of the heavens and the earth made new in the beginning, and which continue so without any change or alteration; though sometimes the perpetuity of the church, which is here predicted, is set forth by the duration of those, Psalm 89:36 but either of the new state of things under the Gospel dispensation, which still continues, promised Isaiah 65:15 , or rather, since that... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 66:23

And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another ,.... Or, "from month in its months" F17 מדי חודש בחדשו "a tempore mensis in mense ejus"; Montanus; "de mense in mensem suum", Forerius. , The Targum is, "in the time of the beginning of the "month in its month";' that is, in every day of the month; or rather every month: and from one sabbath to another ; the form of expressions the same as before; and in like manner paraphrased in the Targum; and signifies... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 66:24

And they shall go forth ,.... That is, those constant and spiritual worshippers shall go forth from the holy mountain Jerusalem, the church of God, whither they are brought as an offering to the Lord, and where they worship him; for this is not to be understood of going out of Jerusalem literally, as Aben Ezra and Kimchi; or of their going out of their graves after the resurrection, as others; but either out of the Christian assemblies, or out of the houses of the saints, and the beloved... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 66:18

For I know their works - A word is here lost out of the present text, leaving the text quite imperfect. The word is יודע yodea , knowing, supplied from the Syriac. The Chaldee had the same word in the copy before him, which he paraphrases by גלן קדמי kedemi gelon , their deeds are manifest before me; and the Aldine and Complutensian editions of the Septuagint acknowledge the same word επισταμαι , which is verified by MS. Pachom. and the Arabic version. I think there can be little... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 66:19

That draw the bow - I much suspect that the words קשת משכי moshechey kesheth , who draw the bow, are a corruption of the word משך meshek , Moschi, the name of a nation situated between the Euxine and Caspian seas; and properly joined with תבל tubal , the Tibareni. See Bochart, Phaleg. Isaiah 3:12 . The Septuagint have μοσοχ , without any thing of the drawers of the bow: the word being once taken for a participle, the bow was added to make sense of it קשת kesheth , the... read more
