Isaiah 25
1. Song of Praise for God's Favor














In that day
This phrase often signifies a prophetic future time when God will act decisively in history. In the context of Isaiah, "that day" refers to the eschatological day of the Lord, a time of both judgment and salvation. The Hebrew root for "day" is "yom," which can mean a literal day or an extended period. Here, it points to a future time when God's promises will be fulfilled, emphasizing the certainty and divine timing of His plan.

they will say
This phrase indicates a communal response, suggesting that the people of God will collectively acknowledge and proclaim something significant. The use of "they" implies a unified body of believers, possibly Israel or the redeemed community, who recognize God's hand in their deliverance. It reflects a moment of realization and confession, a theme prevalent in prophetic literature where the people respond to God's mighty acts.

Surely this is our God
The declaration "Surely this is our God" is a profound statement of recognition and faith. The Hebrew word for "God" here is "Elohim," a plural form that denotes majesty and power. This acknowledgment signifies a personal and communal relationship with God, affirming His identity and sovereignty. It is a moment of revelation where the people see God's promises fulfilled and His presence manifest.

we have waited for Him
The act of waiting is a recurring theme in Scripture, often associated with hope and trust in God's timing. The Hebrew root "qavah" conveys a sense of eager expectation and confident hope. This phrase underscores the faithfulness and patience of God's people, who have endured trials and remained steadfast in their trust that God would act on their behalf.

and He has saved us
Salvation is a central theme in the Bible, and here it is celebrated as a completed action. The Hebrew root "yasha" means to deliver or save, and it is often used in the context of God's deliverance of His people from danger or oppression. This phrase highlights the fulfillment of God's promises and His power to rescue and redeem, providing assurance of His faithfulness.

This is the LORD
The use of "LORD" in all capitals signifies the divine name "Yahweh," the covenant name of God revealed to Moses. It emphasizes God's eternal, self-existent nature and His faithfulness to His covenant promises. This recognition of Yahweh as the one true God is a declaration of His unique identity and authority.

we have waited for Him
The repetition of this phrase reinforces the theme of patient expectation and trust. It serves as a reminder of the perseverance required in the life of faith, encouraging believers to remain steadfast in their hope and confidence in God's ultimate deliverance.

Let us rejoice and be glad in His salvation
The call to rejoice and be glad is an invitation to celebrate God's saving work. The Hebrew words for "rejoice" ("giyl") and "be glad" ("samach") convey exuberant joy and delight. This response is not only an expression of gratitude but also an acknowledgment of the transformative power of God's salvation, which brings joy and restoration to His people. The communal aspect of this rejoicing underscores the shared experience of God's deliverance and the unity of His people in worship and praise.

(9) It shall be said in that day.--The speakers are obviously the company of the redeemed, the citizens of the new Jerusalem. The litanies of supplication are changed into anthems of praise for the great salvation that has been wrought for them.

Verses 9-12. - After thanksgiving for deliverance in the past, and commemoration of blessings in the present, confidence is expressed in the future.

(1) The redeemed declare their joy that they have "waited for God," trusted in him, and looked to him for salvation. They feel that they "have their reward."

(2) The prophet declares his conviction that the enemies of God's elect are henceforth powerless. They are personified under the name of "Moab," and regarded as still animated by sentiments of hostility; but their absolute impotency for working evil is insisted on (vers, 11, 12). Verse 9. - It shall be said; literally, one shall say; i.e. the redeemed generally shall thus express themselves. We have waited for him. During all the weary time of their oppression and persecution, the godly remnant (Isaiah 24:13-15) was "waiting fur the Lord," i.e. trusting in him, expecting him to arise and scatter his enemies, won-daring that he endured so long the "contradiction of sinners against himself" (Hebrews 12:3), but content to abide his determination of the fitting season for coming forward as their Avenger, and now quite satisfied that he has avenged them in his own good time and in his own good way. We will be glad and rejoice (comp. Psalm 118:24 and Song of Solomon 1:4).
