Isaiah 11:9

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Isaiah 11:1-10

Isaiah THE SUCKER FROM THE FELLED OAK Isa_11:1 - Isa_11:10 . The hopeless fall of Assyria is magnificently pictured in the close of Isa_10:1 - Isa_10:16 , as the felling of the cedars of Lebanon by the axe swung by Jehovah’s own hand. A cedar once cut down puts out no new shoots; and so the Assyrian power, when it falls, will fall for ever. The metaphor is carried on with surpassing beauty in the first part of this prophecy, which contrasts the indestructible vitality of the Davidic... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 11:1-9

the Kingdom of the Messiah Isaiah 10:33-34 ; Isaiah 11:1-9 The advance of the Assyrian along the great north road is graphically described. It was marked by raided villages and towns. The night sky was lurid with flames. But his collapse would be as sudden and irretrievable as the felling of forest timber. As the one chapter closes we can almost hear the crash of the Assyrian tree to the ground, and there is no sprout from his roots. But in the next the prophet descries a fair and healthy... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 11:1-16

In this section the prophet's eyes are lifted toward the light of a far-off day. With judgment imminent, he yet sees the ultimate issue of it all. There is fist a description of a Coming One ( Isa 11:11 ). The description of the Coming One is divided into two parts. The first describes Him as the Branch, that is, as David's Son (verses Isa 11:1-9 ). His Coming is proclaimed, His anointing by the Spirit of Jehovah is declared, the method of His rule is described, and the glorious results are... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Isaiah 11:1-10

From the Cradle to the Cross Isaiah 11:1-10 INTRODUCTORY WORDS The Holy Spirit in various parts of the Old Testament gave us all that we need to know beforehand about the birth, the life, the death, and the resurrection of our Lord. The Second Coming and the Reign of Christ was also given by the Spirit in the Old Testament writings, in a detailed way. We will just now confine ourselves to this: "From the cradle to the Cross." We will use only such Scriptures as are given us by the Prophet... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 11:1-10

The Final Result (Isaiah 10:33 to Isaiah 11:10 ). And now the scene suddenly changes. After the detail of the march the final result is dismissed in two sentences as a new prophecy opens up. Assyria is by now almost irrelevant. In mind now are all the enemies who come from the north in their proud and arrogant presumption against God’s people, all the enemies of Israel. They will be hewn down like a condemned forest and fall before the Lord, Yahweh of hosts, preparing the way for the new... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 11:5-10

The Coming Paradise (Isaiah 11:5-10 ). And now, having depicted a situation where good will triumph and evil perish, where all will be just and right, where everything will be in accord with the holiness and justice of God, Isaiah goes on to finalise the perfect picture. The King will rule in righteousness (Isaiah 11:5), and even throughout the animal kingdom peace and harmony will reign. For He is the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 11:6-9), while the nations and peoples will seek to the root of... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 11:1-9

Isaiah 11:1-1 Samuel : . The Messiah’ s Divine Equipment.— If the reference to the hewn stump of David’ s house implies the overthrow of the monarchy, the passage presumably is not Isaiah’ s. This inference, perhaps, is not necessary; and if Isaiah 9:2-Judges : is his, the same judgment should probably be passed on Isaiah 11:1-1 Samuel :. The Messiah is to spring from the family of Jesse, i.e. he will be a second David. This family is described as the hewn stump of a tree. It is in a fallen... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 11:9

In my holy mountain; in Zion, in my church. Wherever the gospel comes and prevails, it will have this effect. The earth; metonymically put for the inhabitants of the earth; and as before it was used for the greater part, Isaiah 11:4, so here it is used for the better part of the world. Of the knowledge of the Lord; of saying and practical knowledge; whereby he intimates that all that savageness and malignity which is in wicked men towards true Christians proceeded from their deep ignorance, and... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 11:1-16

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 11:9

THE DIFFUSION OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD(For Whit-Sunday.)Isaiah 11:9. The earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.It was promised that “the waters should no more become a flood to destroy all flesh;” and yet a flood there was to be, all-compassing, all-absorbing, in God’s good time and in His merciful foreknowledge when He spake the former word; but not to destroy all flesh, but to save it; and in its season the rain of grace descended (Isaiah 45:8; Matthew... read more
