Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 25:3

Thy stoutest enemies observing thy wonderful works, in saving thy people, and in destroying others of thine and their adversaries, shall be either converted, or at least convinced, and forced to acknowledge thy power, and shall tremble before thee. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 25:4

For thou hast been a strength to the poor, & c.; for thou hast defended thy poor and helpless people against the fiercest assaults of their enemies. When the blast of the terrible one is as a storm against the wall; or, for (as this particle commonly signifies; or rather, therefore, as it is frequently used, because thou art their defender) the blast of the terrible, or strong, or violent one, was like a storm (of hail, or rain, or wind) against a wall, which makes a great and terrible... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 25:5

The noise; the tumultuous noise, as the word properly signifies, which he called their blast in the foregoing verse; by which he means their rage and furious attempts, which are commonly managed with much noise and clamour. Of strangers; of those strange and heathen nations that fought against God’s people. Even the heat with the shadow of a cloud; with as much ease as thou dost in the course of thy common providence allay the heat of a dry season and place, either by the shadow of thy clouds,... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 25:6

In this mountain; in Mount Zion, to wit, in God’s church, which is very frequently meant by the names of Zion and Jerusalem, both in the Old and in the New Testament. Make unto all people, both Jews and Gentiles, who shall then be admitted to the participation of the same privileges and ordinances, a feast of fat things; a feast made up of the most exquisite and delicate provisions; which is manifestly meant of the ordinances, graces, and comforts given by God in and to his church. Of wines on... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 25:7

The face of the covering; which is put either, 1. For the covering of the face, by an hypallage, as silver of shekels is put for shekels of silver, Leviticus 5:15; or, 2. For the covering or veil, as the next clause expounds it; the word face being oft superfluously used in the Hebrew language, as Genesis 1:2,Genesis 1:29, and elsewhere. The veil; the veil of ignorance of God, and of the true religion, which then was upon the Gentiles, and now is upon the Jews, 2 Corinthians 3:14-16, which,... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 25:8

He, the Lord, expressed both in the foregoing and following words, even the Messiah, who is God and man, will swallow up death; shall by his death destroy the power of death, as is said, Hebrews 2:14; take away the sting of the first death, and prevent the second death, and give eternal life to the world, even to all that believe in him. In victory, Heb. unto victory, i.e. so as to overcome it perfectly; which complete victory Christ hath already purchased for, and will in due time actually... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 25:9

It shall be said by God’s people, in way of triumph and reply to their enemies, Lo, this is our God: your gods are senseless and impotent idols; but our God is omnipotent, and hath done these great and glorious works, which fill the world with admiration. We may well boast of him, for there is no God like to him. Possibly it may be an intimation that God should take flesh, and become visibly present amongst men. We have waited for him; our Messiah or Saviour, long since promised, and for whom... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 25:10

Shall the hand of the Lord rest; the powerful and gracious presence of God (which is oft signified in Scripture by God’s hand) shall have its constant and settled abode; it shall not move from place to place, as it did with the tabernacle; nor shall it depart from it, as it did from Jerusalem; but shall continue in his church even to the end of the world, Matthew 28:20. Moab; the Moabites, which having been constant and implacable enemies to Israel, are synecdochically put for all the enemies... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 25:11

He; either, 1. Moab, who being plunged into a sea of troubles, shall endeavour to swim out of it, but to no purpose; or rather, 2. The Lord, who is designed by this very pronoun he, both in the latter clause of this verse, and in the following verse; whose power they shall be no more able to resist, than the waters can resist a man that swims, who with great facility divides them hither and thither. Shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them; or, stretch forth his hands to the utmost, to... read more
