Isaiah 25
Concise Complete
A song of praise. (1-5) A declaration of the gospel
blessings. (6-8) The destruction of the enemies of Christ's church. (9-12)
Verses 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 weathers. The Lord shelters those who trust in him from the
insolence of oppressors. Their insolence is but the noise of strangers; it is
like the heat of the sun scorching in the middle of the day; but where is it
when the sun is set? The Lord ever was, and ever will be, the Refuge of
distressed believers. Having provided them a shelter, he teaches them to flee
unto it.
Verses 6-8 The
kind reception of repentant sinners, is often in the New Testament likened to a
feast. The guests invited are all people, Gentiles as well as Jews. There is
that in the gospel which strengthens and makes glad the heart, and is fit for
those who are under convictions of sin, and mourning for it. There is a veil
spread over all nations, for all sat in darkness. But this veil the Lord will
destroy, by the light of his gospel shining in the world, and the power of his
Spirit opening men's eyes to receive it. He will raise those to spiritual life
who were long dead in trespasses and sins. Christ will himself, in his
resurrection, triumph over death. Grief shall be banished; there shall be
perfect and endless joy. Those that mourn for sin shall be comforted. Those who
suffer for Christ shall have consolations. But in the joys of heaven, and not
short of them, will fully be brought to pass this saying, God shall wipe away
all tears. The hope of this should now do away over-sorrow, all weeping that
hinders sowing. Sometimes, in this world God takes away the reproach of his
people from among men; however, it will be done fully at the great day. Let us
patiently bear sorrow and shame now; both will be done away shortly.
Verses 9-12 With
joy and praise will those entertain the glad tidings of the Redeemer, who looked
for him; and with a triumphant song will glorified saints enter into the joy of
their Lord. And it is not in vain to wait for him; for the mercy comes at last,
with abundant recompence for the delay. The hands once stretched out upon the
cross, to make way for our salvation, will at length be stretched forth to
destroy all impenitent sinners. Moab is here put for all adversaries of God's
people; they shall all be trodden down or threshed. God shall bring down the
pride of the enemies by one humbling judgment after another. This destruction of
Moab is typical of Christ's victory, and the pulling down of Satan's strong
holds. Therefore, beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmovable, always abounding
in the work of the Lord; for your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
