Trust in God's ProvisionIn that day This phrase often refers to a future time of fulfillment or divine intervention. It is a prophetic term used throughout the Bible to indicate a significant event in God's plan. In Isaiah, it frequently points to the coming of the Messiah and the establishment of His kingdom. this song will be sung in the land of Judah We have a strong city salvation is established as its walls and ramparts Persons / Places / Events 1. IsaiahThe prophet who authored the book, delivering messages from God to the people of Judah and Jerusalem. 2. Judah The southern kingdom of Israel, where Jerusalem is located, and the primary audience of Isaiah's prophecies. 3. The Strong City Symbolic of God's protection and salvation, representing the security and peace found in God's presence. 4. Salvation as Walls and Ramparts Metaphorical language indicating God's protection and deliverance, emphasizing the strength and security provided by God. 5. The Day Refers to a future time of deliverance and peace, often interpreted as the Messianic age or the ultimate fulfillment of God's promises. Teaching Points God's ProtectionJust as ancient cities relied on walls for protection, believers can trust in God's salvation as their ultimate security. Future Hope The promise of a strong city points to the future hope believers have in Christ, encouraging perseverance through present trials. Spiritual Security Salvation is not just a future promise but a present reality that provides spiritual security and peace. Community of Faith The imagery of a city suggests a community of believers who find strength and encouragement in their shared faith. Worship and Praise The response to God's salvation is worship, as seen in the song sung by the people, reminding believers to continually praise God for His deliverance.XXVI. (1) In that day shall this song be sung . . .--The prophet appears once more, as in Isaiah 5:1; Isaiah 12:4, in the character of a psalmist, and what he writes is destined for nothing less than the worship of the new city of the heavenly kingdom. Salvation will God appoint for walls.--Better, salvation He appoints. The walls of the heavenly city are not of stone or brick, but are themselves as a living force, saving and protecting. The same characteristic thought appears in Isaiah 60:18. Verses 1-18. - A SONG OF THE REDEEMED IN MOUNT ZION. The prophet, having (in Isaiah 25.) poured forth his own thankfulness to God for the promise of the Church's final redemption and triumph, proceeds now to represent the Church itself in the glorified state as singing praise to God for the same. Verse 1. - In that day. In the "day of God" (2 Peter 3:12), the period of the "restitution of all things" (Acts 3:21). In the land of Judah; i.e. in the "new earth" - whose city will be the "heavenly Jerusalem," and wherein will dwell "the Israel of God" - the antitype whereof the literal "land of Judah" was the type. A strong city; literally, a city of strength. In the Revelation of St. John the new Jerusalem is represented as having "a wall great and high" (Revelation 21:12), and "twelve gates," three on each side. The intention is to convey the idea of complete security. In the present passage the city has "gates" (ver. 2), but no "walls" - walls and bulwarks being unnecessary, since the saving might of God himself would be its sure defense against every enemy.Parallel Commentaries ...
