Isaiah 57
1. The blessed death of the righteous
3. God reproves the People for their idolatry
13. He gives promises of mercy to the penitent














bringing praise to their lips.
This phrase emphasizes the transformation and restoration that God brings to His people. In the context of Isaiah, the Israelites were often in rebellion, yet God promises to renew their hearts, leading them to genuine worship. This echoes the theme of God’s redemptive work seen throughout the Bible, such as in Ezekiel 36:26-27, where God promises to give His people a new heart and spirit. The act of bringing praise to their lips signifies a change from idolatry and disobedience to true worship and acknowledgment of God’s sovereignty.

Peace, peace to those far and near,” says the LORD,
The repetition of "peace" underscores the completeness and abundance of the peace God offers. This peace is not merely the absence of conflict but a holistic well-being and reconciliation with God. The mention of "those far and near" indicates the inclusivity of God’s promise, extending beyond Israel to the Gentiles, fulfilling the Abrahamic covenant that all nations would be blessed through his descendants (Genesis 12:3). This foreshadows the New Testament revelation in Ephesians 2:17, where Christ preaches peace to those who are far and near, uniting Jews and Gentiles into one body.

“and I will heal them.”
God’s promise to heal is both physical and spiritual, addressing the brokenness caused by sin. Healing in the Old Testament often symbolizes restoration and forgiveness, as seen in passages like 2 Chronicles 7:14, where God promises to heal the land if His people repent. This healing is ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who is the Great Physician, bringing spiritual healing through His atoning sacrifice. The promise of healing also points to the eschatological hope of complete restoration in the new creation, where there will be no more pain or suffering (Revelation 21:4).

Persons / Places / Events
1. The LORD
The speaker in this verse, representing God Himself, who is the source of peace and healing.

2. Those Far and Near
This phrase refers to both the Israelites and the Gentiles, indicating God's inclusive promise of peace and healing to all people.

3. Isaiah
The prophet through whom God delivers this message, serving as a mouthpiece for divine revelation.

4. Israel
The primary audience of Isaiah's prophecies, often in need of reassurance and hope.

5. Gentiles
Non-Israelite nations, included in God's promise of peace, highlighting the universal scope of His salvation.
Teaching Points
The Source of Peace
God is the ultimate source of peace, and His peace is available to all, regardless of their background or distance from Him.

Inclusivity of God's Promise
The message of peace is not limited to a specific group but extends to all humanity, reflecting God's universal love and grace.

Healing and Restoration
God's promise includes not only peace but also healing, indicating His desire to restore and make whole those who turn to Him.

The Role of Praise
Praise is a natural response to receiving God's peace and healing, and it is through praise that we acknowledge His work in our lives.

Living in Peace
As recipients of God's peace, we are called to live in harmony with others, reflecting the peace we have received in our relationships and communities.(19) The fruit of the lips . . .--The words point primarily to the praise and thanksgiving of the pardoned penitent (comp. Hosea 14:2; Hebrews 13:15), but include also all true utterances of the wise of heart (Proverbs 10:31). All these alike have their origin in the creative fiat of Jehovah, which proclaims "peace" (i.e., salvation) to all, whether near or far, Jews in Jerusalem, or Jews in exile, or (as in Ephesians 2:17) the Gentiles whose distance was that of spiritual remoteness. The message of healing is for all.

Verse 19. - I create the fruit of the lips; literally, creating the fruit of the lips. The clause is best attached to the preceding verse. By his tender treatment of the wanderers, God brings forth fruit from their lips in the shape of praise and thanksgiving. Peace, peace; or, perfect peace, as in Isaiah 26:3. Judah's prophets were apt to say to her, "Peace, peace," when there was no peace (Jeremiah 6:14; Jeremiah 8:11; Ezekiel 13:10). Isaiah is now commissioned to give the promise from the mouth of God (comp. John 14:27; John 20:21, 26). To him that is far off, and to him that is near; i.e. either "to both the Gentiles and the Jews," or "to both the scattered members of the Jewish body" (Isaiah 11:11; Isaiah 43:5, 6) "and the collected nation in Canaan."
