Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 66:1-24

Isaiah 66. Here divisions are hard to define. The theme— the coming punishment of the apostates and the coming glory of the pious— is pursued now on one side, now on the other. Isaiah 66:1-Numbers : . An Attack on the Projectors of a Rival Temple.— Those Jews who refused to accept the reformed religion apparently proposed to set up a rival temple. Yahweh scornfully demands of them in what manner of building they would house Him, whose habitation is the universe. These things— a temple and a... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 66:19

It is on all hands agreed that this verse is a prophecy of the conversion of the Gentiles. I will set a sign: by sign here some understand an ensign, as the word signifies, Psalms 74:4, which is a military sign to gather people together; by this may be understood Christ, Luke 2:34. See Isaiah 11:10. Or, as others, the ministry of the word attended with miracles (often called signs); these were set up among the Jews first, then among the Gentiles. Others (but less probably) understand by sign a... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Isaiah 66:1-24

Chapter 66Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that you build unto me? and where is the place of my rest? ( Isaiah 66:1 )They're going to build a new temple, but God says, "Hey, don't need it." And this is that temple that will probably be built at the covenant of the antichrist. Thus saith the Lord, "The heaven is My throne, the earth is My footstool. Where is the house that you will build for Me? Where is the place of My rest?"For all... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 66:1-24

Isaiah 66:1 . The heaven is my throne. This chapter applies to Isaiah’s time, as well as to future times; and though the Lord rejected the impure worship of the temple, yet he would dwell with the contrite and with the tremblers at his word. It seems from the connection to import, that God would forsake his sanctuary, and dwell with those who worship him in spirit and in truth. Where is the house that ye build unto me? These words are spoken to designate the grandeur and immensity of the... read more
