Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 26:7-19

A prayer 26:7-19Isaiah moved from a hymn of praise to a prayer that has two parts: present waiting for God (Isaiah 26:7-10) and future expectation from God (Isaiah 26:11-19). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 26:12

Yahweh would establish peace for His people (Isaiah 26:3) because everything that they had done He had really done for them (cf. Philippians 2:12-13). We cannot establish peace for ourselves, but He will. Only He can break through the darkness of human depravity (Jonah 2:9). read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Isaiah 26:1-21

The Mark for Recognizing God's Peace Isaiah 26:3 I. It is not said, 'Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed'. There is nothing in mere movelessness which is suggestive of peace. A mind may be motionless without being rested; nay, it may be motionless by reason of its unrest. What, for example, is the numbness of despair, but just a mind which has been deprived of movement by its own unrest. Grief by its excess lifts stopped the pulses of feeling; fear has paralysed energy;... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Isaiah 26:1-21

CHAPTER XXIXGOD’S POORDATE UNCERTAINIsaiah 25:1-12; Isaiah 26:1-21; Isaiah 27:1-13WE have seen that no more than the faintest gleam of historical reflection brightens the obscurity of chapter 24, and that the disaster which lowers there is upon too world-wide a scale to be forced within the conditions of any single period in the fortunes of Israel. In chapters 25-27, which may naturally be held to be a continuation of chapter 24, the historical allusions are more numerous. Indeed, it might be... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Isaiah 26:1-21

CHAPTER 26 Judah’s Glory Song 1. Praise for Jehovah’s faithfulness and mercies (Isaiah 26:1-6 ) 2. The experiences of waiting during the night (Isaiah 26:7-11 ) 3. The assurance of peace and deliverance (Isaiah 26:12-18 ) 4. Assurance of restoration and preservation (Isaiah 26:19-21 ) We call attention to verses 12-21. Annihilationists base upon these words the evil doctrine that the wicked are not raised, but destroyed. The fact, however, is that Isaiah 26:13 and Isaiah 26:14 do not... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Isaiah 26:1-21

JUDGMENT ON GENTILE NATIONS This is a long lesson to read, but the study put upon it need not be proportioned to its length. There is a sameness in the chapters, and their contents are not unlike what we reviewed in the preceding lesson. Note the names of the nations and their contiguity to God’s chosen people. They have come in contact with their history again and again, which is why they are singled out for special mention. It will be well here to review what was said about these Gentile... read more
