(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)
This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
appointed = set, or established.
the ancient People = the everlasting Nation. The nation of Israel is everlasting, like the Covenant. The nations which oppressed Israel (Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Rome) have passed away; but Israel remains, and, when restored, will remain for ever. Note and compare the nine everlasting things in Isaiah: (1) covenant (Isa_55:3; Isa_61:8; compare note on Gen_9:16); (2) kindness (Isa_54:8); (3) salvation (Isa_45:17); (4) excellency (Isa_60:15); (5) joy (Isa_51:11); (6) name (Isa_56:5); (7) light (Isa_60:19, Isa_60:20); (8) sign (Isa_55:13); and (9) as the pledge of all, "the everlasting God" (Isa_40:28; Isa_63:12).
and shall come = and [which] shall come.
