Isaiah 25 - Introduction

A.M. 3292. B.C. 712.

The prophet, reflecting on the contents of those great and glorious prophecies which he had delivered, concerning the destruction of God's enemies, and the deliverance of his people, and especially concerning the sending of the Messiah, and the establishment and enlargement of his kingdom, in spite of all opposition, and the great glory of it, as predicted in the last verse, here interrupts the course of his prophecies, and breaks forth into a solemn celebration of these wonderful works.

(1,) He praises God for his judgments on his proud enemies, and the protection and help afforded to his poor and destitute people, Isaiah 25:1.

(2,) He foretels the rich provision which would be made for the spiritual wants of all mankind in the gospel, the glorious salvation of which he celebrates, Isaiah 25:6.

(3,) Shows the church's triumph in God, and over all her enemies thereupon, Isaiah 25:9.
