Isaiah 25
25:1 O
LORD, thou
a [art] my God; I will exalt
thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful [things; thy]
counsels of old [are] faithfulness [and] truth.
(
a) Thus the prophet gives thanks to God because
he will bring under subjection these nations by his corrections, and make them
of his Church, who before were his enemies.
25:2 For thou hast made of a
b
city an heap; [of] a fortified city a ruin: a palace
c
of foreigners to be no city; it shall never be built.
(
b) Not only of Jerusalem, but also of these
other cities which have been your enemies.
(
c) That is, a place where all vagabonds may live
without danger and as it were at ease as in a palace.
25:3 Therefore shall the
d
strong people glorify thee, the city of the terrible nations shall fear thee.
(
d) The arrogant and proud who before would not
know you will by your corrections fear and glorify you.
25:4 For thou hast been a defence to the poor, a
defence to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shade from the
heat, when the blast
e of the terrible
ones [is] as a storm [against] the wall.
(
e) The rage of the wicked is furious, till God
breaks the force of it.
25:5 Thou shalt bring down the noise of strangers,
as the
f heat in a dry place;
g
[even] the heat with the shadow of a cloud: the branch of the terrible ones
shall be brought low.
(
f) Meaning, that as the heat is abated by the
rain, so shall God bring down the rage of the wicked.
(
g) As a cloud shades from the heat of the sun,
so God will assuage the rejoicing of the wicked against the godly.
25:6 And on this
h
mountain shall the LORD of hosts make to all people a feast of fat things, a
feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees
well refined.
(
h) That is, in Zion, by which he means his
Church, which would under Christ be assembled of the Jews and the Gentiles,
and is here described under the figure of a costly banquet, as in (
Matthew
22:2).
25:7 And he will destroy on this mountain
i
the face of the covering cast over all people, and the veil that is spread over
all nations.
(
i) Meaning, that ignorance and blindness, by
which we are kept back from Christ.
25:8 He will swallow up death in victory; and the
Lord GOD will
k wipe away tears from off
all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he remove from all the earth: for
the LORD hath spoken [it].
(
k) He will take away all opportunity for sorrow
and fill his with perfect joy, (
Revelation
7:17,21:4).
25:10 For on this mountain
shall the hand of the LORD rest, and
l
Moab shall be trodden down under him, even as straw is trodden down for the
m
dunghill.
(
l) By Moab are meant all the enemies of his
Church.
(
m) There were two cities by this name: one in
Judah, (
1 Chronicles
6:81) and another in the land of Moab, (
Jeremiah
48:2) which seems to have been a plentiful place of corn, (
Isaiah
36:17).
