Isaiah 27 - Introduction

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

“The subject of this chapter,” says Bishop Lowth, “seems to be the nature, the measure, and the design of God's dealings with his people.” We have his judgments inflicted on their great and powerful enemies, Isaiah 27:1. His constant care and protection of his favourite vineyard, Isaiah 27:2. The moderation with which the severity of his judgments had been and is tempered, Isaiah 27:7; Isaiah 27:8. The end and design of them, to recover his church from idolatry, Isaiah 27:9. The recalling of them, on their repentance, from their several dispersions, Isaiah 27:12; Isaiah 27:13.
