John Gill's Exposition of the Whole Bible

Isaiah 27 - Introduction

INTRODUCTION TO ISAIAH 27

This chapter refers to the same times as the two foregoing ones

Isaiah 25:1; and is a continuation of the same song, or rather a new one on the same occasion; it is prophetical of the last times, and of what shall be done in them, as the destruction of the antichristian powers, and Satan at the head of them, Isaiah 27:1 the happy state of the church, and its fruitfulness under the care and protection of the Lord, and his affection for it, Isaiah 27:2 its peace, prosperity, and flourishing condition, Isaiah 27:5 the nature, use, and end of all its afflictions and chastisements,

Isaiah 27:7 the ruin and destruction of the city of Rome, and its inhabitants, and of its whole jurisdiction, Isaiah 27:10 a great gathering and conversion of the Lord's people, both Jews and Gentiles, by the ministry of the Gospel, Isaiah 27:12.
