Isaiah 27:13

And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the LORD in the holy mount at Jerusalem. THE GREAT TRUMPET SHALL BE BLOWN - image from the trumpets blown on the first day of the seventh month, to summon the people to a holy convocation (). Antitypically, the Gospel trumpet (; ), which the Jews shall hearken to in the last days (Zechariah 12:1:l0; 13:1 ). As the Passover in the first month corresponds to Christ's crucifixion, so the day of atonement and the idea...

13._It shall also come to pass in that day. _This is the explanation of the former verse. He speaks metaphorically, and shews that so great will be the power of God, that he will easily bring back his people. As kings assemble large armies by the sound of a trumpet, so he shews that it will be easy for the Lord to gather his people, on whom prophecy had not less efficacy than the trumpet by which soldiers are mustered. _And they shall come who were perishing. _He calls them _perishing_, because they were miserably scattered, and appeared to be very near destruction, without any hope of being restored. The enemies, while their monarchy lasted, would never have permitted their captives to return, nor had they led them into banishment in a distant country with any other design than that of gradually casting into oblivion the name of Israel. _And who had been scattered in the land of Egypt....

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...

Verse Isaiah 27:13. _THE GREAT TRUMPET SHALL BE BLOWN_] Does not this refer to the time spoken of by our Lord, Matthew 24:31: _He shall send forth his angels_ - the preachers of his Gospel _with_ _a great sound of a trumpet_ - the earnest invitation to be saved by Jesus Christ; _and shall gather his elect_ - the Jews, his ancient _chosen_ people, _from the four winds_ - from all parts of the habitable globe in which they have been dispersed. In this prophet there are several predictions relative to the conversion of Egypt to the true faith, which have not yet been fulfilled, and which _must_ be fulfilled, for the truth of God cannot fail. Should Egypt ever succeed in casting off the _Ottoman_ yoke, and fully establish its independence, it is m

THE GREAT TRUMPET SHALL BE BLOWN - This verse is designed to describe in another mode the same fact as that stated in Isaiah 27:12, that Yahweh would re-collect his scattered people. The figure is derived from the trumpet which was blown to assemble a people for war (Grotius); or from the blowing of the trumpet on occasion of the great feasts and festivals of the Jews (Vitringa). The idea is, that God would summon the scattered people to return to their own land. The “way” in which this was done, or in which the will of God would be made known to them, is not specified. It is probable, however, that the reference here is to the decree of Cyrus Ezra 1:1, by which they were permitted to return to their own country. WHICH WERE READY TO PERISH - Wh

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 Lord is about to do the above things, and in order to it. The Talmudists k apply this text to the world to come, or times of the Messiah, when the ten tribes shall be returned: [THAT] THE GREAT TRUMPET SHALL BE BLOWN; meaning not the edict or proclamation of Cyrus, but the ministration of the Gospel, called a "trumpet", in allusion to those that were ordered by Moses to be made for the congregation of Israel, Numbers 10:1, or to the jubilee trumpet, Leviticus 25:9 or with respect to any trumpet giving a musical sound; the Gospel being a joyful sound, a sound of love, grace, and mercy through Christ, of peace, pardon, righteousness, and salvation by him; and which may be called a "great" one, the author of it, God, being great; and it is

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...
