Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 40:12-31

The Greatness Of God Proclaimed (Isaiah 40:12-31 ). And He will be able to do it because of His greatness. In this vital passage the greatness of God to do What He declares He will do is now revealed in all its fullness. He Is Over Creation. Isaiah 40:12 ‘Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand? And measured the heavens with a span? And enveloped the dust of the earth in a measure? And weighed the mountains in scales and the hills in a balance?’ The first concentration is on... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 40:12-31

Isaiah 40:12-Obadiah : . An Expansion of the Text Suggested in Isaiah 40:6-Ruth : . Isaiah 40:12-Esther : . The Majesty of God, in Whose Eyes the World is Insignificant.— God is the Creator, disposing of earth and heaven as very small things. No adviser instructed Him. The nations in His sight are like the drop hanging from the bucket, or the dust on the scale, too small to count in the bulk. The forests of Lebanon and the many wild beasts that range them would not provide fuel and victims... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 40:26-31

CHEER FOR THE DESPONDINGIsaiah 40:26-31. Lift up your eyes on high, &c.These encouraging assurances must have been of the highest value to the captive and disconsolate Jews in Babylon. Banished for so long a period from the land of their fathers, they were ready to fear that they were outcasts from God. And they are of the utmost value now, for even now the people of God are in times of trouble often tempted to take a dark and depressing view of God’s dealings and dispensation. Then let... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Isaiah 40:27-29

Isaiah 40:27-29 Notice: I. Isaiah's despondency. It arose from a twofold source. (1) The sense of a Divine desertion: "My way is hid from the Lord." (2) The absence of Divine recompense: "My judgment is passed over from my God." II. The truth that removed Isaiah's despondency. (1) The greatness of God in nature. (2) The tenderness of the revealed will. III. The results of its removal. (1) Strength in weakness. (2) Immortal youth. E. L. Hull, Sermons, 1st series, p. 94. read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Isaiah 40:28-31

Isaiah 40:28-31 I. We have, first, the prophet's appeal to the familiar thought of an unchangeable God as the antidote to all despondency and the foundation of all hope. The life of men and of creatures is like a river, with its source and its course and its end. The life of God is like the ocean, with joyous movement of tides and currents of life and energy and purpose, but ever the same and ever returning upon itself. Jehovah, the unchanged, unchangeable, inexhaustible Being, spends and is... read more

DISCOURSE: 924THE DESPONDING ENCOURAGEDIsaiah 40:27-31. Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the Lord, and my judgment is passed over from my God? Hast thou not known, hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary,... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Isaiah 40:1-31

Chapter 40But he's talking about a whole new message of God for the people as we get into the new covenant of God. And so it is appropriate that this new section of Isaiah begins with the word of the Lord declaring,Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. Speak comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the LORD'S hand double for all of her sins ( Isaiah 40:1-2 ).So the day of God's forgiveness,... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 40:1-31

Isaiah 40:1 . Comfort ye, comfort ye my people. What a sweet voice is this to the church, after all her long afflictions. The words are doubled, to designate the fulness of comfort in the pardon of sin, testified by remission of punishment. Isaiah 40:2 . She hath received of the Lord’s hand double for all her sins. The later rabbins say here, that the Babylonian captivity, and the Roman dispersion, were the double punishment of Zion’s sins. The words are variously expounded. (1) ... read more

THE UNIVERSAL DISPOSITION TO UNBELIEF. “Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel?” etc. II. THE ACCOUNT WHICH GOD HIMSELF GIVES OF THE GREATNESS OF HIS ATTRIBUTES. Well to Israel might the Almighty put the inquiry, “Hast thou not known?” He spake to His peculiar people. In Jewry is God known; His praise is great in Israel. How could they but know... read more
