Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Homiletical Commentary on the Prophecies of Isaiah, Vol. 2 It is generally agreed that these last twenty-six chapters relate to the restoration of the Jews from their captivity in Babylon. They are the Gospel of the Old Testament. This is their value to us. Put into the briefest words, the ideas contained in the first five verses of this chapter are - That a glorious change awaits the exiles, consisting of a new and generous manifestation of Jehovah´s presence, for which His people are exhorted to prepare. The prophet is commanded to speak words of comfort to those captives from Jerusalem - to assure them that her warfare, her time of slavery, is about to end; that her sins are pardoned, abundantly expiated by her sufferings; that her God is coming to deliver her from the oppressor; and that she must prepare the way for His coming, as heralds ride before a conquering king. The comforting announcement which the prophet was to make to Jerusalem was - 1. That her affliction had become full, and had therefore come to an end. 2. Her iniquity is atoned for and the justice of God is satisfied. 3. The third clause repeats the substance of the previous ones with greater emphasis and in a fuller tone. The double punishment which she had endured is not to be taken in a judicial sense, in which case God would appear over-rigid, and therefore unjust. The compassion of God regarded what His justice had been obliged to inflict upon Jerusalem as superabundant. But this is only the negative side of the consolation. What positive salvation is to be expected? "Hark, the voice of one crying!" The summons proceeds in a commanding tone: "Let every valley be exalted," & c. Spiritually interpreted, the command points to the encouragement of those that are cast down, the humiliation of the self-righteous and self-secure, the changing of dishonesty into simplicity, and of haughtiness into submission. Israel is to take care that God shall find them in such an inward and outward state as shall enable Him to fulfil His purpose. "And the glory of Jehovah," & c. When the way is prepared for the coming One, the glory of the God of salvation will be unveiled; and this revelation is made for the sake of Israel, but not secretly or exclusively, for "all flesh" will come to see the salvation of God. "For the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it," is the confirmation of the foregoing prophecy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
