F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 27:1-13

God’s Care for His Vineyard Isaiah 27:1-13 Throughout these chapters we must remember that the doom of Babylon and the restoration of God’s people are symbolical of other events, for which the world is preparing. Then Babylon the Great shall give place to the Holy City, which comes down out of heaven from God. Egypt and Babylon are represented by the leviathan, a general term applicable to any great water animal. The one had its Nile, the other its Euphrates. Parallel with the destruction of... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 27:1-13

This circle of prophecy ends with a message which describes the process toward ultimate restoration, and announces its certainty. The way to restoration is the way of judgment, and this the prophet first announces in figurative language. The first issue of judgment will be restoration of God's chosen people, and the prophet refers to this under the figure of the vineyard. This figure stands in striking contrast to that in chapter five. The vineyard of the Lord of hosts is now seen as kept by... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 27:2-6

God’s Fierce Protection of His People Seen As A Vineyard (Isaiah 27:2-6 ). In contrast to that mighty Serpent are the afflicted people of God, and with such an Enemy they certainly need special protection. God’s people have previously been seen as a vineyard, but one that was rejected because it only produced useless grapes (Isaiah 5:1-7). Now, however, God’s renewed people, His remnant, are seen as ‘a vineyard of wine’ (or ‘of delight’ in some MS), no longer fruitless but fruitful, a... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 27:2-6

Isaiah 27:2-Joshua : . Yahweh’ s Cherished Vineyard.— Here another song is inserted. The text and meaning are alike most uncertain, but apparently the general thought is that Israel is Yahweh’ s pleasant vineyard ( mg.) , tended and protected by Him with the most assiduous care. He is not angry with it, but with its enemies, whom He is longing to destroy, but whom He is willing to spare if they will surrender their hostility. Israel will become a vine that will fill the world with fruit. On... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 27:2

In that day; when this potent enemy shall be destroyed· A vineyard of red wine: the words in the Hebrew text lie thus, A vineyard (Behold, a vineyard; or, Jacob or Israel, my church and people, which is sufficiently understood from the next verse, and is expressed Isaiah 27:6, shall be a vineyard, shall be defended and dressed, shall thrive and flourish like a vineyard) of red wine, (i.e. of the choicest and best wine, which in those parts was red, as appears both from Scripture, as Proverbs... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 27:3

I the Lord do keep it; I will secure it, that neither men, nor beasts, nor drought shall spoil it; which alone are the things that can hurt it. I will protect my church from all the assaults of her enemies, and supply her with all necessary provisions, with my ordinances, and with my Spirit and grace. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 27:2-3

THE SONG TO THE VINEYARDIsaiah 27:2-3. In that day sing ye unto her, &c.There are different opinions as to what is meant by “leviathan, that crooked serpent,” and “the dragon that is in the sea” (Isaiah 27:1), whether the same power is signified by different names, &c. (1.) On a point concerning which learned and able men cannot see eye to eye, it would be presumptuous in me to give an opinion. (2.) If we cannot feel certain as to the literal meaning, the spiritual is plain. (3.)... read more
