Isaiah 42:13

The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall prevail against his enemies. THE LORD SHALL GO FORTH AS A MIGHTY MAN. Yahweh will no longer restrain His wrath He will go forth as a mighty warrior () to destroy His people's and His enemies, and to deliver Israel (cf. ). HE SHALL STIR UP JEALOUSY - rouse His indignation HE SHALL CRY, YEA, ROAR - image from the battle-cry of a warrior....

13._Jehovah like a giant. _What Isaiah now adds is intended to surmount the temptations of believers. He ascribes to God strength and power, that they may know that they shall find in him a sure defense; for in adversity we are perplexed, because we doubt whether or not God will be able to render us assistance, especially when by delaying he appears in some measure to reject our prayers; and therefore the Prophet loudly extols the power of God, that all may learn to rely and place their confidence in him. _Will go forth. _The _going forth _that is here mentioned must be taken metaphorically; for God seemed to be concealed at the time when he permitted his people to be affiicted and oppressed without any appearance of aid; and therefore the word means “to come forth publicly for the sake of giving assistance.” This is confirmed by what follows. _And as a warrior. _When he attributes to G...

13-17 The Lord will appear in his power and glory. He shall cry, in the preaching of his word. He shall cry aloud in the gospel woes, which must be preached with gospel blessings, to awaken a sleeping world. He shall conquer by the power of his Spirit. And those that contradict and blaspheme his gospel, he shall put to silence and shame; and that which hinders its progress shall be taken out of the way. To those who by nature were blind, God will show the way to life and happiness by Jesus Christ. They are weak in knowledge, but He will make darkness light. They are weak in duty, but their way shall be plain. Those whom God brings into the right way, he will guide in it. This passage is a prophecy, and is also applicable to every believer; for the Lord will never leave nor forsake them....

THE LORD SHALL GO FORTH - This and the following verses give the reasons why they should praise Yahweh. He would go forth in his might to overcome and subdue his foes, and to deliver his people. In his conquests, and in the establishment of his kingdom, all people would have occasion to rejoice and be glad. AS A MIGHTY MAN - As a hero, as a warrior. Yahweh is often in the Scriptures represented as a hero, or a man of war: Yahweh is a man of war: Yahweh is his name. - Exodus 15:3. Who is this King of glory? Yahweh, strong and mighty; Yah

EXPOSITION ISAIAH 42:1 ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE SERVANT OF THE LORD, AND THE WORK WHICH HE WILL PERFORM. There are comparatively few who deny that, in this place at any rate, the "Servant of the Lord" is the Messiah. (So the Targum on the passage; so Abar-barnel; so, among moderns, Oehler, Delitzsch, and Mr. Cheyne.) The portraiture has "so strong an individuality and such marked personal features, that it cannot possibly be a mere personified collective;" and it goes so "infinitely _beyond _anything of which a man was ever capable that it can only be the future Christ" (Delitzsch). It may be added that St. Matthew ...

THE LORD SHALL GO FORTH AS A MIGHTY MAN,.... In the ministry of the word, CONQUERING AND TO CONQUER; girding his "sword" on his thigh; causing his "arrows" to be sharp in the hearts of his enemies; clothing the word with power; MAKING THE WEAPONS OF WARFARE, put into the hands of his ministering servants, MIGHTY, to pull down the "strong holds" of sin and Satan, to cast: down the proud "imaginations" of men's hearts, and to BRING INTO CAPTIVITY EVERY THOUGHT TO THE OBEDIENCE OF himself; or in the army of Constantine, whom he used as his instrument for the destruction of the Pagan empire, and of Paganism in it, and for the establishment of Christianity: HE SHALL STIR UP JEALOUSY LIKE A MAN OF WAR; or "a man of wars" x; that has been used to fight battles; Christ is represented as a warrior,...

This book might well be called «the gospel according to Isaiah,» for it is full of evangelical truth. Isaiah 42:1. _Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles._ Of whom speaketh the prophet this, but of the Messiah Jesus of Nazareth? He was upheld by the mighty power of God. He was the Lord's chosen. The Spirit of God rested upon him, and this day is this Scripture fulfilled in your ears, for he hath brought forth righteousness to the Gentiles. Isaiah 42:2. _He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street._ He shall be no clamorous seeker after applause. He shall not shout as those that seek for the mastery. Now the Saviour
