This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Isa_56:7 Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices [shall be] accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.
Ver. 7. Even them will I bring unto my holy mountain,] i.e., Into my Church, and Church assemblies. Query, Whether eunuchs and strangers were made partakers of all holy services in the second temple, according to the letter? Sure we are that that holy eunuch, {Act_8:26-40} and the rest of the Gentiles, had and still have free admission under the gospel.
And will make them joyful in mine house of prayer.] By their free access unto me, and all good success in their suits. Pray "that your joy may be full." {Joh_16:24} "Draw water with joy out of this well of salvation." {Isa_12:3} "Rejoice evermore," and that you may so do, "pray without ceasing." {1Th_5:16-17}
Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar.] Their evangelical sacrifices of prayer, praise, alms, obedience, &c., shall be accepted through Christ, {Heb_13:10; Heb_13:15} who is the true altar that sanctifieth all that is offered on it. {Rev_8:3-4}
For mine house shall be called, &c.] See on Mat_21:13.
