Isaiah 25:2-3

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 25:1-12

Immediately following this terrible description is a prophecy which, in the form of praise, declares the activity of Jehovah. The song first offers praise for judgment both in its procedure, as it destroys the false city, and in its results, as by such action God manifests Himself as the Succorer and Helper of the afflicted. The result of this activity will be spreading the feast in the mountain of the Lord, and His illumination of all the nations, followed by the ending of sorrow and the... read more

Isaiah 25:1-Deuteronomy : . A Song of Praise for Yahweh’ s Great Deliverance.— The deliverance still lies in the future; the song is written from the standpoint of the redeemed community, and expresses its exultation over its salvation.

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 25:1-12

Isaiah 25:2 . A defenced city a ruin. This city, in the next words, is called a palace of strangers; therefore it was a great city. In the critics we find nothing but conjectures, as Samaria Ar of Moab Nineveh Babylon. Memphis, the capital of Egypt, was a palace of strangers, ambassadors, &c.; but we have no certainty of its ruin, till the time of Nebuchadnezzar. It was destroyed by a blast of the terrible ones: Isaiah 25:4. There can scarcely be a doubt remaining, but the city... read more
