The Deliverance of IsraelHas the LORD struck Israel as He struck her oppressors? This phrase questions whether God's judgment on Israel is as severe as His judgment on her enemies. Historically, Israel faced divine discipline due to their disobedience and idolatry, yet God's treatment of Israel is often portrayed as corrective rather than destructive. In contrast, the oppressors of Israel, such as Assyria and Babylon, faced total destruction. This reflects God's covenant relationship with Israel, where discipline is meant to restore rather than annihilate. Theologically, this highlights God's justice and mercy, balancing punishment with the promise of redemption. This concept is echoed in passages like Jeremiah 30:11, where God promises to discipline Israel but not to make a full end of them. Was she killed like those who slayed her? Persons / Places / Events 1. The LORD (Yahweh)The covenant God of Israel, who is both just and merciful. He is the one who disciplines His people but also redeems them. 2. Israel The chosen nation of God, often depicted as being disciplined for their disobedience but ultimately restored. 3. Oppressors Nations or entities that have historically oppressed Israel, such as Egypt, Assyria, and Babylon. 4. Prophet Isaiah The author of the book, who prophesied during a time of great turmoil and impending judgment for Israel. 5. Judgment and Restoration The overarching theme of Isaiah, where God’s judgment is followed by promises of restoration and hope. Teaching Points God’s Justice and MercyGod’s discipline is different from His judgment on the wicked. While He disciplines Israel, He does not destroy them as He does their oppressors. Purpose of Discipline God’s discipline is meant to correct and restore, not to destroy. It is a sign of His covenant love and commitment to His people. Hope in Restoration Even in times of discipline, there is hope for restoration. God’s ultimate plan is to bring His people back to Himself. Reflecting on God’s Character Understanding God’s character as both just and merciful helps us trust Him in times of personal discipline. Living in Light of God’s Discipline As believers, we should respond to God’s discipline with repentance and faith, knowing it is for our good and His glory.(7) Hath he smitten him . . .--The pronouns are left in the English Version somewhat obscure, but the use of capitals makes the meaning plain: "Hath He (Jehovah) smitten him (Israel) as He smote those that smote him; or is he slain according to the slaughter of those that are slain by Him?" A slight alteration in the last clause in the text gives, according to the slaughter of his slayers. In any case the thought is that Jehovah had chastised the guilt with a leniency altogether exceptional. They had not been punished as others had been. The words admit, however, of another meaning, which is preferred by some critics, viz., that Jehovah doth not smite Israel with the smiting like that with which his (Israel's) smiters smote him--i.e., had not punished, as the oppressors had punished, ruthlessly and in hate, but had in His wrath remembered mercy.Verses 7-11. - THE COMING JUDGMENT UPON JUDAH A CHASTISEMENT IN WHICH MERCY IS BLENDED WITH JUSTICE. A coming judgment upon Judah has been one of the main subjects of Isaiah's prophecy from the beginning. It has been included in the catalogue of "burdens" (see Isaiah 22.). It will have to be one of the prophet's main subjects to the end of his "book." Hence he may at any time recur to it, as he does now, without special reason or excuse. In this place the special aspect under which the judgment presents itself to him is that of its merciful character, (1) in degree (vers. 7, 8); (2) in intention (ver. 9). While noting this, he feels, however, bound to note also, that the judgment is, while it lasts, severe (vers. 10, 11). Verse 7. - Hath he smitten him; etc.? i.e. "Has God smitten Judah, as he '(God) smote Judah's smiters?" Judah's chief smiters were Assyria and Babylon. The judgments upon them would be more severe than that upon Judah. They would be destroyed; Judah would be taken captive, and restored. Them that are slain by him; rather, them that slew him (so Lowth, Ewald, Knobel, and Mr. Cheyne). But, to obtain this meaning, the pointing of the present text must be altered. The law of parallelism seems, however, to require the alteration.
