(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)

This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Isa 56:1-12. The preparation needed on the part of those who wish to be admitted to the kingdom of God.

judgment - equity. John the Baptist preached similarly a return to righteousness, as needed to prepare men for Messiah’s first coming (Luk 3:3, Luk 3:8-14). So it shall be before the second coming (Mal 4:4-6).

near to come - (Mat 3:2; Mat 4:17), also as to the second coming (Isa 62:10, Isa 62:11; Luk 21:28, Luk 21:31; Rom 13:11, Rom 13:12; Heb 10:25).

righteousness - answering to “salvation” in the parallel clause; therefore it means righteousness which bringeth salvation (Isa 46:13; Rom 3:25, Rom 3:26).
