Isaiah 27:12

And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall beat off from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel. Restoration of the Jews from dispersion, described under the image of fruits shaken from trees and collected. BEAT OFF - as fruit beaten off a tree with a stick (), and then gathered. RIVER - Euphrates. UNTO THE STREAM OF EGYPT - on the confines of Palestine and Egypt (; ; ), now Wady UNTO THE STREAM OF EGYPT - on the confines of Palestine and Egypt ...

12._And yet it shall come to pass on that day. _He softens the harshness of the former statement; for it was a dreadful judgment of God, that the people were deprived of all hope of mercy and favor. The particle ו (_vau_) must therefore be explained as in the tenth verse, “_Nevertheless_, or, _and yet _it shall come to pass on that day.” _That Jehovah shall thrash. _The Prophet speaks metaphorically; for he compares the gathering of the Church to the “thrashing” of wheat, by which the grain is separated from the chaff. The meaning of the metaphor is, that the people were so completely overwhelmed by that captivity that they appeared to be nothing else than grain concealed or scattered here and there under the chaff. It was necessary that the Lord should “thrash,” as with a fan, what was concealed amidst the confused mass; so that this gathering was justly compared to “thrashing.”...

6-13 In the days of the gospel, the latter days, the gospel church shall be more firmly fixed than the Jewish church, and shall spread further. May our souls be continually watered and kept, that we may abound in the fruits of the Spirit, in all goodness, righteousness, and truth. The Jews yet are kept a separate and a numerous people; they have not been rooted out as those who slew them. The condition of that nation, through so many ages, forms a certain proof of the Divine origin of the Scriptures; and the Jews live amongst us, a continued warning against sin. But though winds are ever so rough, ever so high, God can say to them, Peace, be still. And though God will afflict his people, yet he will make their afflictions to work for the good of their souls. According to this promise, since the captivity in Babylon, no people have shown such hatred to idols and idolatry as the Jews. And...

AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS IN THAT DAY, THAT THE LORD SHALL BEAT OFF - The word which is used here (חבט _châbaṭ_) means properly “to beat off with a stick,” as fruit from a tree Deuteronomy 20:20. It also means to beat out grain with a stick Judges 6:11; Ruth 2:17 The word which is rendered in the other member of the sentence, ‘shall be gathered’ (לקט _lâqaṭ_), is applied to the act of “collecting” fruit after it has been beaten from a tree, or grain after it has been threshed. The use of these words here shows that the image is taken from the act of collecting fruit or grain after harvest; and the expression means, that as th

EXPOSITION ISAIAH 27:1 THE TRIPLE JUDGMENT ON THE POWERS OF DARKNESS. The crowning judgment of all is now briefly described. "In that day"—the day of God's vengeance—when all his other enemies have been put down, Jehovah shall finally visit with his sword three mighty foes, which are described under three figures—the first as "Leviathan, the swift serpent;" the second as "Leviathan, the crooked serpent; "and the third as "the dragon that is in the sea." It has been usual to see in these three monsters three kingdoms inimical to God—either Assyria, Babylon, and Egypt; or Assyria, Egypt, and Tyre; or Media, Persia, and Egypt. But this diversity of interpretation shows that there is no particular fitness in the emblems to sym

AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS IN THAT DAY,.... When the song will be sung, Isaiah 27:2 when God will appear to have taken particular care of his church, and is about to bring it into a flourishing condition; when its troubles and afflictions will come to an end, with a sanctified use of them; and when the city of Rome will be destroyed, and all the antichristian powers, then will be the conversion of the Jews; for antichrist stands in the way of that work: [THAT] THE LORD SHALL BEAT OFF; or "beat out" g; alluding either to the beating off of fruit from a tree, or to the beating out of grain from the ear; and signifies the separating of the Lord's people in the effectual calling from the rest of the world; as the fruit beaten off is separated from the tree, and corn beaten out is separated from the ear and chaff; for this beating off does not intend judgment, but mercy; and is do

CHAPTER 27 ISRAEL'S ENEMIES OVERTHROWN AND THE GREAT RESTORATION 1. _Assyria, Babylon and Egypt punished (Isaiah 27:1)_ 2. _What Jehovah has done and will do (Isaiah 27:2)_ 3. _The vineyard established and the glorious consummation (Isaiah 27:12) _ This is a fitting finale to the second section of this book. Israel's chief enemies are indicated by the leviathan, the serpent and the dragon. Behind them stands the serpent and the dragon, Satan. When these enemies are overthrown and Satan is bound then “Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.” The last word tells of Israel's literal regathering under the blowing of the trumpet...

ISAIAH 27:12 F. END OF THE APOCALYPSE. These verses link on to Isaiah 27:1. The general subject is the restoration of Israel from the Dispersion. The interpretation of Isaiah 27:12 is most uncertain. Perhaps the sense is that from the Euphrates to the Wady el-Arish Yahweh will gather His people, beating out the good grain (that is, the Jews) from the straw (that is, the heathen). The trumpet will sound, and those lost (_mg._) in Assyria and outcasts in Egypt will assemble for the worship of Yahweh at Jerusalem. ISAIAH 27:12. BEAT OFF: like olive berries from the tree ...
