Isaiah 65:9

And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains: and mine elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there. AND I WILL BRING FORTH A SEED OUT OF JACOB - "the holy seed" (); a posterity from Jacob, destined to repossess the Holy Land, forfeited by the sin of the former Jews. AND OUT OF JUDAH AN INHERITOR OF MY MOUNTAINS - Jerusalem and the rest of Judea, peculiarly God's (cf. ; ; ). AND MINE ELECT SHALL INHERIT IT - the Holy Land. ELECT - (;...

9._And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob. _He explains the preceding verse by other words, and shews that the Lord wishes to reserve for himself some “seed” that shall call upon him; for the Lord is wont to chastise his people in such a manner as to determine that the Church shall exist, in which his truth and the pure religion may be preserved, and which Paul for that very reason calls “the pillar and foundation of truth.” (1 Timothy 3:15.) We must not, therefore, judge of the Church from the present condition of things, (for nothing in this world can be permanent,) but from the purpose of God, which will not suffer it to be overturned or destroyed. This ought to be carefully remembered by us, that we may not be terrified by any calamities or ruins, or by any hideous desolation of the Church. _And out of Judah the heir of my mountains. _He gives the appellation of “h

8-10 In the bunch of unripe grapes, at present of no value, the new wine is contained. The Jews have been kept a distinct people, that all may witness the fulfilment of ancient prophecies and promises. God's chosen, the spiritual seed of praying Jacob, shall inherit his mountains of bliss and joy, and be carried safe to them through the vale of tears. All things are for the display of God's glory in the redemption of sinners....

Verse Isaiah 65:9. _AN INHERITOR OF MY MOUNTAINS_ - "An inheritor of my mountain"] הרי _hari_, in the singular number; so the _Septuagint_ and _Syriac_; that is, of Mount Sion. See Isaiah 65:11 and Isaiah 56:7, to which Sion, the pronoun feminine singular, added to the verb in the next line, refers; ירשוה _yereshuah_, "shall inherit her." - L....

AND I WILL BRING FORTH A SEED - I will give descendants to Jacob, who shall share my favor and repossess the land. AN INHERITOR OF MY MOUNTAINS - The mountains of Palestine - Jerusalem and the vicinity - called the mountains of God because he claimed that land as his special residence, and the place where his holy religion was established. AND MINE ELECT - They who have been chosen by me to maintain my religion in the world....

SECTION XI.—GOD'S ANSWER TO THE EXILES' PRAYER (Isaiah 65:1.) EXPOSITION ISAIAH 65:1 ISRAEL'S SUFFERINGS THE JUST MEED OF THEIR SINS. God's mercy is such that it even overflows upon those who are outside the covenant (Isaiah 65:1). It has been offered to Israel, but Israel has rejected it. Their rebellion, their idolatries, and their pride have caused, and must continue to cause, their punishment ...

AND I WILL BRING FORTH A SEED OUT OF JACOB,.... Jerom says most understand this of Christ; and who indeed is called the seed of the woman, the seed of Abraham, the seed of David, and sprang from Jacob or Israel, and came out of the tribe of Judah; and may be fitly signified by the cluster, in which new wine and a blessing were, which "seed" here is explanative of; since the clusters of all divine perfections, of all the blessings of grace, and of all the promises of it, are in him: and since he is that seed in whom all the nations of the earth are blessed, and with whom the covenant of grace was made, Galatians 3:16, but others, the above ancient writer observes, understood it of the apostles; and it seems to design the first that believed in Christ, who were of the Jewish nation, the apostles and others; for though the generality of that people rejected the Messiah, there were a few tha...

CHAPTER 65 Jehovah's Answer: The Rebellious and Their Judgment, the Faithful and Their Blessings 1. _The divine rebuke to the apostates (Isaiah 65:1) _ 2. _The elect seed (Isaiah 65:9) _ 3. _The judgment of the apostates (Isaiah 65:11) _ 4. _The blessings of Jehovah's servants and the contrast (Isaiah 65:13) _ 5. _The glories and blessings of the future (Isaiah 65:17) _ The first eight verses give a description of the iniquities practiced by apostate Israel. Judgment will overtake them in the day of veng

THE RIGHTEOUS SHALL INHERIT THE LAND, BUT THEIR OPPONENTS SHALL BE SLAUGHTERED. Yahweh says, Even as the vintagers say when they see a cluster with only a few sound grapes in it, - Destroy it not, for a blessing is in it,'so for the sake of those who are faithful to Me I will not utterly destroy My people. The righteous survivors shall possess the holy land. From Sharon (p. 28) the maritime plain between Joppa and Carmel to the valley of Achor in the neighbourhood of Jericho the plains shall teem with cattle. But you who deliberately ignore My Temple and its ritual, spreading instead a meal for the gods Fortune and Destiny you will I destine (a terrible jest) to destruction, because ye were deaf to all My appeals, defying My will.
