Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 26:19

(19) Thy dead men shall live.—Better, Thy dead shall live; my corpses shall rise. The words, though they imply a belief more or less distinct in a resurrection, are primarily like the vision of dry bones in Ezekiel 37:1-14, and like St. Paul’s “life from the dead” in Romans 11:15 (comp. also Hosea 6:2), used of national and spiritual resurrection.For thy dew is as the dew of herbs.—The rendering is a tenable one, and expresses the thought that as the dew that falls upon the parched and withered... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 26:20

(20) Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers.—The vision of the judgments and the glory of the future leads the prophet to his work as a preacher of repentance in the present. His people also need the preparation of silent and solitary prayer (Matthew 6:6; Psalms 27:5; Psalms 31:21). As men seek the innermost recesses of their homes while the thunderstorm sweeps over the city, so should they seek God in that solitude till the great tempest of His indignation has passed by. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 26:21

(21) The earth also shall disclose her blood.—Literally, her bloods (plural of intensity). The prophet has in his thoughts the reckless destruction of life which characterised the great world-powers of Assyria and Babylon. As in the case of Abel’s blood that cried from the ground (Genesis 4:16), so here the earth first brings to light the blood of those that have been slain, and then the forms of the murdered ones themselves. read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Isaiah 26:1-21

The Mark for Recognizing God's Peace Isaiah 26:3 I. It is not said, 'Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed'. There is nothing in mere movelessness which is suggestive of peace. A mind may be motionless without being rested; nay, it may be motionless by reason of its unrest. What, for example, is the numbness of despair, but just a mind which has been deprived of movement by its own unrest. Grief by its excess lifts stopped the pulses of feeling; fear has paralysed energy;... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Isaiah 26:1-21

CHAPTER XXIXGOD’S POORDATE UNCERTAINIsaiah 25:1-12; Isaiah 26:1-21; Isaiah 27:1-13WE have seen that no more than the faintest gleam of historical reflection brightens the obscurity of chapter 24, and that the disaster which lowers there is upon too world-wide a scale to be forced within the conditions of any single period in the fortunes of Israel. In chapters 25-27, which may naturally be held to be a continuation of chapter 24, the historical allusions are more numerous. Indeed, it might be... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Isaiah 26:14-19

CHAPTER XXXTHE RESURRECTIONIsaiah 26:14-19; Isaiah 25:6-9GRANTED the pardon, the justice, the Temple and the God, which the returning exiles now enjoyed, the possession of these only makes more painful the shortness of life itself. This life is too shallow and too frail a vessel to hold peace and righteousness and worship and the love of God. St. Paul has said, "If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable." What avails it to have been pardoned, to have regained... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Isaiah 26:1-21

CHAPTER 26 Judah’s Glory Song 1. Praise for Jehovah’s faithfulness and mercies (Isaiah 26:1-6 ) 2. The experiences of waiting during the night (Isaiah 26:7-11 ) 3. The assurance of peace and deliverance (Isaiah 26:12-18 ) 4. Assurance of restoration and preservation (Isaiah 26:19-21 ) We call attention to verses 12-21. Annihilationists base upon these words the evil doctrine that the wicked are not raised, but destroyed. The fact, however, is that Isaiah 26:13 and Isaiah 26:14 do not... read more
