Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 25:6

(6) And in this mountain shall the Lord . . .—The mountain is, as in Isaiah 2:1, the hill of Zion, the true representative type of the city of God. True to what we may call the catholicity of his character, Isaiah looks forward to a time when the outlying heathen nations shall no longer be excluded from fellowship with Israel, but shall share in its sacrificial feasts even as at the banquet of the great King. In the Hebrew, as even in the English, the rhythm flows on like a strain of music... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Isaiah 25:1-12

An Act of Faith Isaiah 25:1 I. 'O Lord, Thou art my God.' This is not a prayer, but something higher 'an act of faith'. What do we mean by an act of faith? We mean an expression of faith in which the will has its part. An act of faith should be the utterance of the whole nature, the will giving effect both to the conclusions of the reason and to the desires of the affections. An act of faith seems so simple; it is tremendous, for it involves the operation of the whole soul. II. There is (1)... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Isaiah 25:1-12

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

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Isaiah 25:6-9

19CHAPTER XXXTHE RESURRECTIONIsaiah 26:14-19; Isaiah 25:6-9GRANTED the pardon, the justice, the Temple and the God, which the returning exiles now enjoyed, the possession of these only makes more painful the shortness of life itself. This life is too shallow and too frail a vessel to hold peace and righteousness and worship and the love of God. St. Paul has said, "If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable." What avails it to have been pardoned, to have... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Isaiah 25:1-12

CHAPTER 25 Israel’s Praise and the Blessings of the Kingdom 1. The praise of the delivered nation (Isaiah 25:1-5 ) 2. The blessing for all nations during the Kingdom (Isaiah 25:6-8 ) 3. Israel rejoicing after waiting (Isaiah 25:9 ) 4. Moab and Israel’s enemies judged (Isaiah 25:10-12 ) In the foreground of this chapter stands another hymn of praise, which redeemed Israel will sing in “that day.” Jehovah has done wonderful things for His people. Compare with Isaiah 12:5 ;Psalms 46:8-11... read more

John Calvin

Geneva Study Bible - Isaiah 25:6

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 . read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Isaiah 25:1-12

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

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Isaiah 25:1-12

Calm After Storm Isaiah 25:0 We can only understand the highest, sweetest meaning of this chapter in proportion as we enter into the spirit of the one which precedes it. That chapter we have read and studied. It is full of clouds, and darkness, and judgment. The Lord himself seems to have yielded to the spirit of contempt, and to have held in scorn even the work of his own fingers. The sarcasm of the Lord is intolerable. His laugh, who can stand? It is a laugh of judgment; it comes after... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 25:6

I do not say but that the Prophet had an eye to Israel's joy, in returning, after their captivity, to their own land; and in the first sense of these verses, to the end of the chapter, the words may be so referred: but it were sadly to read those precious things, were we not, now they are unfolded to us in gospel days, to read them principally and fully, as pointing to Jesus, and the rich feast of salvation brought by him, in the holy mountain of his Church. Here we have a feast, indeed, and a... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Isaiah 25:6

Mountain of Sion, a figure of the Church, and of heaven. The Jews shall feast: yea, some of all nations shall partake of the blessed Eucharist, and obtain heaven. The expressions are too grand for a corruptible feast. (Calmet) --- Wine. Literally, "of vintage," (Haydock) on which occasion great rejoicings were made. (Hesiod, Hercul. 297.) --- Protestants, "of wines on the lees." (Haydock) --- In the East, the wines were very thick, Psalm lxxv. 9. (Calmet) --- On the rejection of the Jews, the... read more
