This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Isa_54:3 For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.
Ver. 3. For thou shalt break forth,] i.e., Bring forth abundantly, and beyond belief. Margaret Countess of Henneberg, brought forth at a birth in Holland three hundred and sixty-five children, one skull whereof I have seen, saith mine author, no bigger than a bead or bean. {a} The Church brought forth three thousand at one birth, {Act_2:41} and some whole nations at another. {Isa_66:8 Rom_10:18}
And thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles.] Shall spiritually become lords of the world, peopling it with a new and holy generation of such as "seek God’s face, this is Jacob." {Psa_24:6} This text the Jews and millenaries carnally construe.
