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 25:1-3

The Prophet, in the name of the Church, begins the song of praise. And without all doubt, it is a gospel song, in which redemption is celebrated. Probably with reference to the ruin of Babylon, which, though the captivity of the Church in Babylon was not then begun, much less finished; yet looking to the close of it, under the teaching of the Spirit, the prophet blesseth Jehovah for bringing his people out of it, and destroying the Church's enemies. But we lose the whole beauty of this hymn,... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 25:1-5

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... read more

Thanksgiving for God's Benefits v. 1. Lord, Thou art my God, the God of the covenant, the God of salvation, Cf Psalms 31:15; Psalms 40:6; Psalms 143:10.

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 25:1-12

Sorrow Turned to Gladness Isaiah 25:1-12 Here is a song of thanksgiving at the fall of Babylon. When she fell, a sigh of relief passed over the whole world, and strong, terrible nations over which she had exerted her tyranny gratefully recognized the goodness and righteousness of Jehovah. We may anticipate, as we read these glowing words, what that song will be when the spirited Babylon is overthrown, Revelation 19:1-7 . Notice how God suits Himself to our need, whether for strength, or... read more
