The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 56:6

Also the sons of the stranger (comp. Isaiah 56:3 ). The proselytes shall not be treated as they fear. On the contrary, God will treat them in exactly the same way as his original people—will conduct them to Palestine, settle them in his "holy mountain,'' admit them to the temple services, accept their burnt offerings and their sacrifices. All this will be a foretaste of their position in the Christian Church, where there will be neither Jew nor Gentile, neither circumcision nor... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 56:6

Service. "The sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the Lord, to serve him," etc. This word is often degraded in human speech. "Service" is con-sidereal humiliating, and only mastership is glorious. But "the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister." We are all of us " debtors" to others; we owe them much, and we owe Christ all. I. SERVICE CALLS OUT WHAT IS BEST IN MEN . 1 . Their unselfishness . 2 . Their heroism . 3 . Their ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 56:7

My house of prayer. In Solomon's address to God at the dedication of the temple, its character, as a house of prayer, is abundantly laid down ( 1 Kings 8:29-53 ). And no doubt it was used for the purpose of prayer, as well as for the purpose of sacrifice, from its first erection to its final destruction. But the purpose of sacrifice so far predominated, in fact, over the other, that the expression, "my house of prayer," comes upon us in this place to some extent as a surprise. The... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 56:7

God's house of prayer for everybody. "Mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people." These words were quoted by the Lord Jesus when he drove out the shopkeepers who defiled the temple (see Matthew 21:13 ). The prophet declares that the "prayers and praises (those spiritual sacrifices) of devout Gentiles shall be as pleasing to God as those of the pious Jews, and no difference shall be made between them; for, though they are Gentiles by birth, yet through grace they shall be... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 56:6

Also the sons of the stranger - (see the note at Isaiah 56:3). The conditions on which they should be admitted to the same privileges are specified, and are the following:1. They were to ‘join themselves to the Lord’ (see the note at Isaiah 56:3).2. This should be with a purpose to ‘serve him.’ Their aim and design should be to keep his commandments and to do his will.3. They were to ‘love the name of the Lord;’ that is, to love Yahweh himself, for the ‘name’ of the Lord is often used as... read more

Even them will I bring to my holy mountain - (See the notes at Isaiah 2:3). That is, they should be admitted to the fellowship and privileges of his people.And make them joyful - In the participation of the privileges of the true religion, and in the service of God, they shall be made happy.In my house of prayer - In the temple - here called the house of prayer. The language here is all derived from the worship of the Jews, though the meaning evidently is, that under the new dispensation, all... read more

Isaiah 56:6-7. The sons of the stranger that join themselves to the Lord That with purpose of heart cleave unto him, as is said Acts 11:23. To love the Lord, to be his servants To serve him out of love to him and to his worship.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 56:1-8

56:1-66:24 PRESENT SHAME AND FUTURE GLORYHaving looked beyond the Babylonian captivity to the Jews’ imminent return to their homeland, the prophet now sees the people resettled in and around Jerusalem. What he sees causes him to realize that this is not the golden age after all. Social and religious sins once again become a characteristic of the national life of Israel. The prophet contrasts this corrupt state of affairs with conditions in the ideal Jerusalem of the future.In this section, as... read more

"Also the foreigners that join themselves to Jehovah, to minister unto him, and to love the name of Jehovah, to be his servants, everyone that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, and holdeth fast my covenant; even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt-offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples.
