Isaiah 33
1. God's judgments against the enemies of the church
13. The consternation of sinners, and privileges of the godly














You who are far away
This phrase addresses those who are distant, both geographically and spiritually. In the Hebrew context, "far away" often refers to the Gentiles or those not part of the immediate covenant community of Israel. The prophetic message of Isaiah frequently extends beyond Israel to include all nations, emphasizing God's universal sovereignty. This call to those "far away" signifies the inclusivity of God's message and His desire for all people to recognize His power and authority.

hear what I have done
The imperative "hear" is a call to attention, urging the audience to listen and understand the actions of God. In Hebrew, the word for "hear" (שָׁמַע, shama) implies not just auditory reception but also obedience and response. The phrase "what I have done" refers to God's mighty acts, which could include His deliverance of Israel, His judgments, or His creation. This is a reminder of God's active role in history and His ongoing involvement in the world.

you who are near
This phrase contrasts with "you who are far away," addressing those who are close, likely the people of Israel or those within the covenant community. It underscores the idea that proximity to God is not just physical but also spiritual. Those "near" are expected to have a deeper understanding and relationship with God, yet they too are called to listen and reflect on His deeds.

acknowledge My might
The call to "acknowledge" (in Hebrew, יָדַע, yada) goes beyond mere recognition; it involves an intimate understanding and acceptance of God's power and authority. "My might" refers to God's omnipotence and His ability to execute His will. This acknowledgment is an act of worship and submission, recognizing that God's power is supreme and His plans are perfect. The verse as a whole is a call to all people, near and far, to recognize and respond to the sovereignty and majesty of God.

(13) Hear, ye that are far off . . .--The fate of Assyria is proclaimed as a warning to other nations, and to Israel itself. For the "sinners in Zion" also there is the furnace of fire of the wrath of God. "Who," they ask, "can dwell with that consuming fire, those everlasting (?onian?) burnings," which are one aspect of the righteousness of God?

Verses 13-24. - REFLECTIONS ON ASSYRIA'S OVERTHROW VIEWED AS ACCOMPLISHED. The prophet's first thought is, how wonderfully the overthrow has manifested the might of God (ver. 13). Next, how it must thrill with fear the hearts of the wicked among his people (ver. 14). Thirdly, how the righteous are by it placed in security, and can look back with joy to their escape, and can with confidence look forward to a future of happiness and tranquil lily (vers. 15-24). Messianic ideas intermingle with these latter thoughts (vers. 17, 23), the image of a happy, tranquil Judah melting into that of Messiah's glorious kingdom. Verse 13. - Hear, ye that are far off, etc. Jehovah speaks by the mouth of his prophet, and calls on the nations of the earth, far and near, to consider and acknowledge his might, as shown in his judgment on Assyria (comp. Exodus 15:14-16).
