This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
A root; a branch growing upon the root; of which see on Isa_11:1.
Shall stand for an ensign; shall grow up into a great and high tree, shall become a visible and eminent ensign. Of the people; which not only the Jews, but all nations may discern, and to which they may and shall resort.
To it shall the Gentiles seek; as the gospel shall be preached to the Gentiles, so they shall receive it, and believe in the Messiah. His rest; his resting-place, as this word frequently signifies, as Gen_8:9 49:15 Psa_132:8,14 Isa 34:14 Mic_2:10; his temple or church, the place of his presence and abode.
Shall be glorious; shall be filled with greater glory than the Jewish tabernacle and temple were; of which see on Hag_2:9; only this glory shall be spiritual, consisting in glorious ordinances, in the plentiful effusions of the excellent gifts, and graces, and comforts of the Holy Spirit.
