Isaiah 56:7-8 NIV

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Isaiah 56:1-9

VIII.—THE EIGHTH DISCOURSEIsaiah 56:1-9The new salvation mediated by the Servant of God was described chap. 54 in its general, objective aspect; in chap. 55 in respect to the subjective appropriation of salvation. Chap. 56, in a few but plain strokes, shows us the same as the source of an entirely new ethical, social and physical regulation of life. For Isaiah 56:1-2 hold out the prospect of a holy walk, Isaiah 56:3-7 of a new legal regulation respecting strangers and eunuchs, finally Isaiah... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 56:1-12

the Blessedness of Sabbath-Keeping Isaiah 56:1-12 The bright array of Messianic promises, which occupied the preceding chapters, is now followed by a portion of less interest, seeing that our attention is not now fastened on Christ, but on Israel. Birk calls this sermon “The Middle Ages of Delay,” and says: “This new section of advice and warning belongs to this whole period from Isaiah to Christ. The like message applies now to the Church of Christ and its prospect of the Second Advent.”... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 56:1-12

This division ends with two chapters (56 and 57) which set forth certain aspects of the administration of the Kingdom. The first is intended to comfort those who by recent promises of restoration made to the people of God were likely to be discouraged. Strangers would say, "The Lord will surely separate me from His people," and, in view of the hope of the growth of the nation, the eunuch would declare, "Behold, I am a dry tree." Both these are comforted. To the latter is promised a memorial... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 56:1-8

The Welcome Given To Eunuchs and Strangers To Enter Fully Into the House of Yahweh (Isaiah 56:1-8 ). God’s true people are to live in readiness for the day of deliverance (Isaiah 56:1 b), and one day when His deliverance comes (Isaiah 56:1), as a result of the work of the Servant (Isaiah 53:1-12), and as a result of the establishing of the everlasting covenant (Isaiah 55:3), full and uninhibited worship in the temple of Yahweh will be available to all who long to engage in such worship,... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 56:1-8

Isaiah 56:1-Ruth : . A Gracious Promise to Proselytes and Eunuchs.— We find ourselves conscious in this oracle of a change of atmosphere and setting. The Temple is built, and the centre of an elaborate ritual. Refraining from evil and sabbath-keeping are equally yoked. We pass now to the oracles of “ Trito-Isaiah.”An exhortation to hold fast the ordinances of religion (“ judgement” ), based upon the imminence of Yahweh’ s vindicating intervention (“ my righteousness” ), is followed by a... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 56:7

To my holy mountain; to my house, as it is explained in the following clause, which stood upon Mount Zion, largely so called, including Mount Moriah. Formerly the Gentiles neither had any desire to come thither, nor were admitted there; but now I will incline their hearts to come, and I will give them admission and free liberty to come into my church. Make them joyful, by accepting their services, and comforting their hearts with the sense of my love, and pouring down all sorts of blessings... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 56:8

Which gathereth the outcasts of Israel; which will gather to himself, and bring into their own land, those poor Israelites which are, or shall be, cast out of their own land, and from God’s presence, and dispersed in divers parts of the world. Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him; as there are some few Gentiles whom I have made proselytes, and added to the Jewish church, so I shall make another and a far more comprehensive gathering of the Gentiles, whom I... read more

CHARACTERISTICS AND PRIVILEGES OF GOD’S PEOPLEIsaiah 56:4-7. For thus saith the Lord unto the eunuchs that keep My Sabbaths, &c.The pride of ancestry, and boast of ceremonial exclusiveness, and glorying in the flesh, the Lord, by His prophet, looking forward to gospel days, now abolishes, and marks out the true distinctions of His people to be that which is moral and spiritual, to the exclusion of all bodily defects or national peculiarities.

OTHERS TO BE GATHEREDIsaiah 56:8. The Lord God which gathereth the outcasts of Israel, &c.God’s work is now that of gathering, &c.I. ENCOURAGEMENT TO THOSE WHO SEEK THE LORD. Note well the instances mentioned: instances of gathering by the hand of the Lord. Outcasts have been gathered, and this is the token that others shall be gathered. 1.

Thus saith the Lord unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant: Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.
