Joseph Benson’s Bible Commentary

Isaiah 25:9

And it shall be said in that day By God's people, in the 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 him. We have waited for him To appear in flesh; have waited for the coming of our Messiah, or Saviour, long since promised, and have waited a long time; and now at last he is come into the world, bringing salvation with him.
