Comforts the people. Go up on a high mountain The phrase "Go up on a high mountain" signifies a call to proclaim a message from a place of visibility and prominence. In ancient times, mountains were often seen as places of divine revelation and encounter. The Hebrew word for "mountain" is "har," which can symbolize strength and stability. This call to ascend a high place suggests the importance and urgency of the message being delivered. It is a call to rise above the ordinary and declare God's truth boldly and clearly. O Zion, herald of good news Lift up your voice with strength O Jerusalem, herald of good news Lift it up, do not be afraid! Say to the cities of Judah, 'Here is your God!' The high mountain.--There is no article in the Hebrew, but the word is probably connected with the ideal exaltation of the holy city, as in Isaiah 2:1. Behold your God!--The words have, in one sense, only an ideal fulfilment; but the prophet contemplates the return of the exiles and the restoration of the Temple worship, as involving the renewed presence of Jehovah in the sanctuary which He had apparently abandoned. He would come back with His people, and abide with them. Verses 9-11. - The time of Israel's restoration has drawn nigh. The preparation has been made. The voice calling to preparation is silent. The promises are now on the verge of receiving their accomplishment. It is fitting that some one should announce the fact to the nation. Isaiah calls on the company of prophets living at the time to do so (ver. 9). They are to take up a commanding position, to speak with a loud voice, and to proclaim the good tidings to Zion, to Jerusalem, and to the cities of Judah (comp. Isaiah 44:26). The terms of the proclamation are then given (vers. 10, 11). Verse 9. - O Zion, that bringest good tidings, etc.; rather, as in the margin, O thou that tellest good tidings to Zion (so the LXX., Gesenius, Rosenmuller, Maurer, Hitzig, Knobel, and Kay). Get thee up into the high mountain; rather, into a high mountain. Choose an elevated spot from which to make proclamation. O Jerusalem, that bringest, etc.; again, as in the margin, O thou that tellest good tidings to Jerusalem. The repetition, with a slight change, is quite in the manner of Isaiah. The cities of Judah. These would be in rains, no less than Jerusalem herself (see Isaiah 46:26; 64:10).Parallel Commentaries ...
