isaiah-25:1

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 25:1-5

1-5 However this might show the deliverance of the Jews out of captivity, it looked further, to the praises that should be offered up to God for Christ's victories over our spiritual enemies, and the comforts he has provided for all believers. True faith simply credits the Lord's testimony, and relies on his truth to perform his promises. As God weakens the strong who are proud and secure, so he strengthens the weak that are humble, and stay themselves upon him. God protects his people in all... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 25:1-12

Sorrow Turned to Gladness Isaiah 25:1-12 Here is a song of thanksgiving at the fall of Babylon. When she fell, a sigh of relief passed over the whole world, and strong, terrible nations over which she had exerted her tyranny gratefully recognized the goodness and righteousness of Jehovah. We may anticipate, as we read these glowing words, what that song will be when the spirited Babylon is overthrown, Revelation 19:1-7 . Notice how God suits Himself to our need, whether for strength, or... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 25:1-12

Immediately following this terrible description is a prophecy which, in the form of praise, declares the activity of Jehovah. The song first offers praise for judgment both in its procedure, as it destroys the false city, and in its results, as by such action God manifests Himself as the Succorer and Helper of the afflicted. The result of this activity will be spreading the feast in the mountain of the Lord, and His illumination of all the nations, followed by the ending of sorrow and the... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 25:1

THANKSGIVING‘I will praise Thy Name.’ Isaiah 25:1 Isaiah lived in sad and degenerate times, but he was yet a man of praiseful spirit and hopeful outlook. Isaiah was personally of hopeful spirit because he could sing, ‘O Lord, Thou art my God,’ and as regarded Israel his faith in the covenant mercies of Jehovah, which would surely fulfil themselves in the long reach of the centuries, fortified him against temporary despondency. Isaiah was moved to praise as he looked backward and recalled that... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 25:1-5

Isaiah 25:1-Deuteronomy : . A Song of Praise for Yahweh’ s Great Deliverance.— The deliverance still lies in the future; the song is written from the standpoint of the redeemed community, and expresses its exultation over its salvation. Yahweh has overthrown the city, its inhabitants shall stand in awe of Him. He has been a shelter to His distressed people when the blast of the violent has beaten on them like a winter storm. He has assuaged the oppression of the enemy, as the sun’ s scorching... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 25:1

The prophet reflecting upon those great and glorious prophecies which he had delivered concerning the destruction of his enemies, and the protection and deliverance of his people, and the sending of the Messiah, and the establishment of his own kingdom in spite of all opposition, interrupteth the course of his prophecies, and breaketh forth into a solemn celebration of all these wonderful works. Thy counsels of old are faithfuless and truth; thy counsels, from which all thy works proceed, and... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 25:1

THE GRAND APPROPRIATIONIsaiah 25:1. O Lord, Thou art my God.I. THE CONNECTION BETWEEN GOD AND OURSELVES. 1. The Lord is our God in a necessary and absolute sense. 2. He should be our God by choice (H. E. I., 306, 307, 2381, 2385, 4630–4647, 4970). 3. If He is thus to become our God, it must be through the person and work of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the exercise of an appropriating faith (H. E. I., 1952).II. THE ADVANTAGES WE MAY ANTICIPATE FROM THIS CONNECTION. 1. Light in darkness. 2.... read more
