Isaiah 27
1. The Deliverance of Israel














In that day
This phrase often signals a prophetic vision concerning the future, particularly the eschatological "Day of the Lord." In the Hebrew text, "in that day" (בַּיּ֣וֹם הַה֔וּא, bayyom hahu) is a common expression in prophetic literature, indicating a time when God will act decisively in history. It suggests a period of divine intervention and fulfillment of God's promises. From a conservative Christian perspective, this points to the ultimate redemption and restoration that God will bring about, aligning with the hope of Christ's return and the establishment of His kingdom.

Sing
The Hebrew word used here is "שִׁירוּ" (shiru), which means to sing or to sing praises. Singing in the biblical context is often associated with joy, celebration, and worship. It reflects a response to God's mighty acts and His faithfulness. In this verse, the call to sing indicates a time of rejoicing and gratitude for God's deliverance and blessings. It is a reminder of the power of worship and the joy that comes from recognizing God's work in our lives.

About a fruitful vineyard
The imagery of a vineyard is rich in biblical symbolism. In the Hebrew text, "כֶּרֶם חֶמֶד" (kerem chemed) translates to "a vineyard of delight" or "a fruitful vineyard." Vineyards in Scripture often represent God's people, Israel, and by extension, the Church. A fruitful vineyard signifies a community that is thriving, blessed, and productive under God's care. Historically, vineyards were vital to the economy and culture of ancient Israel, symbolizing prosperity and divine favor. In a spiritual sense, this phrase speaks to the flourishing of God's people when they are rooted in Him, bearing fruit through His Spirit. It is a vision of restoration and abundance, where God's people live in harmony with His will, producing the fruits of righteousness and peace.

(2) In that day sing ye . . .--The prophet appears once again, as in Isaiah 26:1, as the hymn writer of the future day of the triumph of the redeemed. He had chanted a dirge over the vineyard that was unfruitful, and therefore given over to desolation. He now changes the wailing into a poem. The word translated "red wine" (comp. Deuteronomy 32:14) signifies "fiery," or "foaming." The LXX. seems to have followed a different text, giving (with the alteration of a single letter) the meaning, "a pleasant vineyard."

Verses 2-6. - GOD'S CARE FOR HIS VINEYARD. This piece may be called a companion picture to Isaiah 5:1-7, or a joy-song to be set over against that dirge. In both the figure of the vineyard is employed to express the people of God, and God is "the Lord of the vineyard." But whereas, on the former occasion, all was wrath and fury, menace and judgment, here all is mercy and loving-kindness, protection and promise. The difference is, no doubt, not with God, "with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning" (James 1:17), but with the vineyard, which is either not the same, or, if the same, then differently circumstanced. The vineyard of Isaiah 5. is beyond all doubt the Jewish Church in the time of Isaiah, or in the times shortly after. The vineyard of the present place is either the Christian Church, or the Jewish Church reformed and purified by suffering. It is not the Church triumphant in heaven, since there are still "briars and thorns" in it, and there are still those belonging to it who have to "make their peace with God." The prophet has come back from his investigations of the remote future and the supra-mundane sphere to something which belongs to earth, and perhaps not to a very distant period. His second "song of the vineyard" may well comfort the Church through all her earthly struggles. Verse 2. - Sing ye unto her. Our translators have, strangely enough, inverted the order of the two clauses, which stand thus in the Hebrew: "A vineyard of red wine; sing ye unto it, "or "sing ye of it." The "vineyard of red wine" is one that produces abundance of rich fruit.
