This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Isa_65:24 And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.
Ver. 24. And it shall come to pass, that before they call I will answer.] Mirabilis certe promissio, a wonderful promise, verily, saith Scultetus. The prayers of the saints do sooner pierce from their hearts to heaven, than they can find way from their hearts to their mouths. So David found it; {Psa_32:5} and Daniel; {Dan_10:12} and that prodigal. {Luk_15:18; Luk_15:20} Our Saviour, who came out of the bosom of the Father, gives two reasons (1.) "The Father himself loveth you," {Joh_16:27} and love is liberal; (2.) "The Father knoweth before ye ask, that ye have need of all these things." {Mat_6:32}
And while they are yet speaking, I will hear.] Thus he heard those praying Israelites at the meet at Mizpeh, {1Sa_7:6} David, {Psa_6:8-9} Daniel, {Dan_9:21} Cornelius, {Act_10:3} and his company; {Act_10:44} Luther, when he came leaping out of his study, where he had been praying, with Vicimus! vicimus! in his mouth; the day is ours, we shall carry the cause.
