isaiah-51:5

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 51:1-8

Isaiah 51:1-Ruth : . A Heartening Consolation.— Yahweh, in words that echo Isaiah 50:4-1 Samuel :, bids His people, who seek the victory which ever eludes them, consider their origin. Abraham was but one; yet He made him a great people: how much more from a people, though their numbers be decreased, can He make a mighty nation. He will comfort Zion— the perfects of Isaiah 51:3 are “ perfects of certainty”— her ruins shall be rebuilt and her waste places made fruitful as Eden. Instruction in... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 51:5

My righteousness; my salvation, as it is expounded in the next clause, the redemption of all my people, both Jews and Gentiles, which is the effect of his righteousness; either his justice, or his faithfulness, or his mercy and goodness; for all these are called by the name of righteousness in Scripture, and all these contributed to the work of man’s redemption.

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Isaiah 51:1-23

Tonight we have a marvelous study as we look at Isaiah, chapters 51-55, in which the prophet sees so clearly the suffering and the rejection of God's provision for man in sending His Son to die for our sins. In fact, these prophecies of Isaiah so clearly describe what did happen to Jesus Christ in His rejection, in His suffering, in His death, it is as though they were written after it happened rather than 600 years before it happened.The Lord is calling unto the nation of Israel, unto His... read more

Christ, the Just and Holy one, the Lord our righteousness. The isles shall wait upon me. Better thus, the distant lands shall expect me, the desire of all nations.

Isaiah 51:1-8Hearken to MeThe thrice “Hearken”These paragraphs are exceedingly dramatic.We become conscious that we are approaching a revelation of unparalleled sublimity which shall be in Scripture what heart or brain or eye is in the human body. And as we consider the thrice “Hearken” of this paragraph, and the thrice “Awake” of the succeeding one, we realize that we are entering the presence-chamber of the profoundest mysteries of love and redemption. The people, notwithstanding the promises... read more

Isaiah 51:4-6Hearken unto Me, My peopleThe absolute in human historyTime works mighty changes in human life.Amidst the ceaseless whirl of mutation, is there nothing unchangeable? Is life made up entirely of volatile contingencies? Has it no absolute elements? Oh, for a rock in this ebbing sea, where we might stand secure as the wreck of years floats by! This Scripture responds to our questions, and meets our aspirations. The word “law” designates God’s revelation; “judgment” and “righteousness”... read more
