Isaías 12
MacArthur: The Servant’s goal is the salvation and restoration of Israel for the fulfillment of the covenant promise. But not limited to Israel, He is to function as a light bringing salvation to the Gentiles. Israel’s mission had always been to bring the nations to God (Isa 19:24; 42:6). This she will finally do very effectively in the tribulation after the conversion of the 144,000 witnesses (Rev 7:1–10; 14:1–5) and when she is restored to her Land [in the Millennium] at the Servant’s return to earth. Cf. Isa 9:2; 11:10; 42:6; 45:22; Lk 2:32. Paul applied this verse to his ministry to the Gentiles on his first missionary journey (Acts 13:47). Isaiah 49:8 Thus says the LORD, "In a favorable time I have answered You, And in a day of salvation I have helped You; And I will keep You and give You for a covenant of the people, To restore the land, to make them inherit the desolate heritages MacArthur: Messiah is represented as asking for the grace of God to be given to sinners. God gives His favorable answer in a time of grace (cf. Isa 61:1) when salvation’s day comes to the world (cf. Gal 4:4, 5; Heb 4:7). At His appointed time in the future, the Lord will, by His Servant, accomplish the final deliverance of Israel. Paul applied these words to his ministry of proclaiming the gospel of God’s grace to all people (2Co 6:2) Isaiah 51:6 "Lift up your eyes to the sky, Then look to the earth beneath; For the sky will vanish like smoke, And the earth will wear out like a garment And its inhabitants will die in like manner; But My salvation will be forever, And My righteousness will not wane. Isaiah 51:8 "For the moth will eat them like a garment, And the grub will eat them like wool. But My righteousness will be forever, And My salvation to all generations." Isaiah 52:7 How lovely on the mountains Are the feet of him who brings good news, Who announces peace And brings good news of happiness, Who announces salvation, And says to Zion, "Your God reigns!" Isaiah 52:10 The LORD has bared His holy arm In the sight of all the nations, That all the ends of the earth may see The salvation of our God. ESV Study Bible comment: The inclusion of the nations fulfills the promise to Abraham concerning blessing to all nations (Gen. 12:3; Luke 2:30, 31) Isaiah 56:1 Thus says the LORD, "Preserve justice and do righteousness, For My salvation is about to come and My righteousness to be revealed. Comment: Notice how the imminency of the coming of God's salvation and His righteousness are motivations to right behavior (justice… righteousness). Isaiah 59:11 All of us (Isaiah identifies with the people) growl like bears, and moan sadly like doves; We hope for justice, but there is none, for salvation, but it is far from us. MacArthur: Here is a picture of men seeking unsuccessfully to escape their depraved condition through their own strength. They wind up growling and lamenting their inability to gain salvation (Dt 28:29). Isaiah 59:17 He put on righteousness like a breastplate, And a helmet of salvation on His head; And He put on garments of vengeance for clothing And wrapped Himself with zeal as a mantle. Isaiah 60:18 Violence will not be heard again in your land (Referring to the land of Israel - Why no more violence? The Prince of peace will reign from Zion), nor devastation or destruction within your borders; but you will call your walls salvation, and your gates praise. (The walls and gates presumably refer to the city of Jerusalem during the Millennium). Comment: This passage describes the future glorious Millennial Kingdom and the city of Jerusalem in which Messiah reigns. Isaiah 62:1 For Zion's sake I (The speaker is the Lord - see Isa 62:6) will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not keep quiet, Until her righteousness goes forth like brightness, and her salvation like a torch that is burning. Wiersbe Comments: God promises to keep speaking and working till His purposes for Jerusalem are fulfilled. This is not only for the sake of Zion but also for the sake of the nations of the world (Isa 62:2). There will be no righteousness and peace on this earth till Jerusalem gets her new name and becomes a crown of glory to the Lord. Jonah 2:9 (Context = contrast with "vain idols" Jonah 2:8) But I will sacrifice to You with the voice of thanksgiving. That which I have vowed I will pay. Salvation is from the LORD (Jonah quotes from Ps 3:8 and Ps 37:39)." Habakkuk 3:8 Did the LORD rage against the rivers, Or was Your anger against the rivers, Or was Your wrath against the sea, That You rode on Your horses, On Your chariots of salvation? Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid - From an application standpoint what does an understanding and appropriation of the truth that God is "my salvation" bring about? In this context trust and removal of fear. The antithesis of fear is trust (faith). God traffics in the latter, Satan in the former. See related resource: Fear, How to Handle It LORD GOD - This is literally Jah Jehovah (Yah Yahweh) and is found only in one other passage in Isaiah (Isa 26:4). Thus both uses are in the context of an encouragement to perfect confidence and trust and emphasize that He is the covenant keeping God. Strength (05797) ('oz) means power, or might and describes the ability to either exert or withstand great force. The idea is that the one (usually referring to God) having the strength has the ability to accomplish what he intends. 'Oz in some contexts means a stronghold or fortress which provides a safe place from attacks (Pr 10:15, 18:11, 19, 21:22) When He is our strength, He is our Source of strength, yea, even our very Resource. As we learn to look to His sufficient strength, we are never disappointed or unsatisfied (cp 2Cor 12:9-note, 2Cor 12:10-note, Php 4:11, 12-note Php 4:13-note). John

MacArthur: Title, Author, Date, Background, Setting, Historical, Theological Themes, Interpretive Challenges, Outline by Chapter/Verse. Excellent overview. From Grace To You ministries - same intro as in MacArthur Study Bible (print) Isaiah 12:1 Then you will say on that day, "I will give thanks to You, O LORD for although You were angry with me, Your anger is turned away, and You comfort me.: that day: Isa 2:11 11:10,11,16 14:3 26:1 27:1-3,12,13 35:10 Zec 14:9,20 LORD: Isa 25:1,9 49:13 60:18,19 Ps 34:1-22 67:1-4 69:34-36 72:15-19 Ps 149:6-9 Ro 11:15 Rev 15:3,4 19:1-7 Although: Isa 10:4,25 40:1,2 51:3 54:8 57:15-18 66:13 De 30:1-3 Ps 30:5 Ps 85:1-3 Jer 31:18-20 Eze 39:24-29 Ho 6:1 11:8 14:4-9 A PSALM (SONG) OF THANKSGIVING FOR JEHOVAH'S SALVATION As you read and study the great prophetic book of Isaiah, keep the context in mind, remembering that chapter 12 marks the end of the first major section of Isaiah (refer to the preceding Table). Isaiah takes an abrupt turn to the oracle concerning Babylon beginning in Isaiah 13:1 and taking up additional oracles to the nations through Isaiah 27.. Isaiah 1-12 precedes from worst (Isa 1:1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) to best, from divine judgment to divine comfort, chapter 12 (Isa 12:1-6) which culminates in the promise of salvation (Isa 12) and the presence of their Savior (Isa 12:6) I love Joseph Parker's comment "It is time we had a hymn in this prophecy of Isaiah, for the reading has been like a succession of thunderstorms and earthquakes." Alexander summarizes this chapter as follows - Taking occasion from the reference to Egypt and the exodus in the close of the preceding chapter, the Prophet now puts into the mouth of Israel a song analogous to that of Moses, from which some of the expressions are directly borrowed. The structure of this psalm is very regular, consisting of two parts, in each of which the Prophet first tells the people what they will say, or have a right to say, when the foregoing promises are verified, and then addresses them again in his own person and in the usual language of prediction. In the first stanza, they are made to acknowledge the divine compassion and to express their confidence in God as the source of all their strength, and therefore the rightful object of their praise, Isa 12:1-3. In the second stanza, they exhort one another to make known what God has done for them, not only at home but among all nations, and are exhorted by the Prophet to rejoice in the manifested presence of Jehovah, Isa 12:4-6. (The Prophecies of Isaiah) The New Unger's Bible Dictionary has the following outline of this first section of Isaiah… Prophecies from the standpoint of the prophet’s own time (Isaiah1:1–35:10) A. Prophecies concerning Judah and Jerusalem (Isa 1:1–12:6) 1. General introduction (Isa 1:1–31) 2. Millennial blessing through cleansing (Isa 2:1–4:6) 3. Israel’s reproof for her sins (Isa 5:1–30) 4. The prophet’s call and commission (Isa 6:1–13) 5. Immanuel’s prophecy (Isa 7:1–25) 6. Prophecy of Assyrian invasion (Isa 8:1–22) 7. Messianic prediction (Isa 9:1–21) 8. Assyrian punishment (Isa 10:1–34) 9. Millennial restoration (Isa 11:1–16) 10. Millennial worship (Isa 12:1–6) Fruchtenbaum has commented that "CHAPTERS 7–12 of Isaiah constitute a single unit, sometimes referred to as “The Book of Immanuel” because the name “Immanuel” appears three times in the Hebrew text (Isaiah 7:14; 8:8,10) (Ed: Isa 8:10 = "God with us" transliterated "immanu'el"). (Messianic Christology: A study of Old Testament prophecy concerning the first coming of the Messiah. Tustin, CA: Ariel Ministries) The KJV Bible Commentary - Viewing the entire context of the Immanuel passage (Isaiah 7-12), we are taken from a time when the nation of Israel is trembling in fear for the future of the throne of David to a time of unparallel exaltation of the One who shall sit upon that throne during His great millennial reign upon the earth. In between, we are introduced to Immanuel, the virgin’s son, who is indeed “God with us.” Next, we are told that He is to identify with the land; for it is His land. Further, He is described as the Gift-Child who will assume the government of His kingdom. We are further told that He is Himself the mighty God (Isa 10:21), whose rule will bring peace through His wonderful counsel. Finally, we are told that before He comes, the tree of David will be reduced to a stump. Yet, Judah need not fear; for the time will yet come when God’s King will sit on that throne as a Branch that sprouts from the root-stock of Jesse into an everlasting kingdom. To the Christian there can be no doubt that this entire passage speaks of only One Person: Jesus Christ the King! (Dobson, E G, Charles Feinberg, E Hindson, Woodrow Kroll, H L. Wilmington: KJV Bible Commentary: Nelson) ON THAT DAY One day the trumpet will sound for His coming. One day the skies with His glories will shine Wonderful day, my Beloved One, bringing! My Savior, Jesus, is mine! One day He's coming, Oh Glorious Day! Glorious Day by Casting Crowns Then - Always be alert for this "time sensitive" word (expressions of time) for by definition it is a marker of what is next in order of time or next in a series and can be especially helpful in interpretation of prophetic passages. When you see a then at the beginning of a verse, stop and interrogate with the 5W/H'S especially asking when is then and what will happen then? From the context, the answer to "When?" is on that day and the answer to "What?" will happen on that day is elaborated on in the remainder of chapter 12. Play the great song by Robin Mark entitled One Day… ROBIN MARK — ONE DAY On that day - This specific time phrase begs the question "What day?" When interpreting Isaiah 12, one must be careful not to divorce this chapter from the immediately preceding context, which has the same time phrases (in that day, on that day) in Isa 11:10,11-note. Remembering that the chapter breaks are arbitrary divisions of men, if one reads chapters 11 and 12 together, it becomes clear that they present a seamless description of the future (eschatological) day when Messiah returns (cp Second Coming) to establish His Millennial Kingdom (see chronicling of the events that lead to the Return of the King of kings) to rule and reign in righteousness over the whole earth (cp Isa 11:9) for 1000 glorious years (Compare Rev 20:4-note, Re 20:5-note, Re 20:6-note). This day then is one aspect of that eschatological time which is referred to as the Day of the Lord (see discussion of what defines the Day of the Lord).
Isaías 12
MacArthur - For the future remnant who will recognize the substitutionary death of Christ for their sins, Christ bore God’s anger in their place. Otherwise, that anger against them would remain. God will deliver the faithful of Israel from both their political opponents and the spiritual consequences of their sins. (MacArthur Study Bible) David
Isaías 12
MacArthur: These terms are singular and thus do not seem to refer to David and his descendants. Rather they refer to the promised “seed,” the Messiah of 2Sa 7:12 (cp "seed" singular in Gal 3:16). The deliverance and ultimate triumph of David foreshadow that of the coming Messiah. At the end of his life, David looked back in faith at God’s promises and forward in hope to their fulfillment in the coming of a future “king,” the “anointed one.” ESV Study Bible agrees: God’s salvation for David prefigures his salvation through Christ the king. 1 Chronicles 16:23 Sing to the LORD, all the earth; Proclaim good tidings of His salvation (Lxx = soteria) from day to day. 2 Chronicles 20:17 'You need not fight in this battle; station yourselves, stand and see the salvation (Lxx = soteria) of the LORD on your behalf, O Judah and Jerusalem.' Do not fear or be dismayed; tomorrow go out to face them, for the LORD is with you." Job 13:16 (Context = Job 13:15) "This also will be my salvation (Lxx = soteria), For a godless man may not come before His presence. Job 30:15 "Terrors are turned against me; They pursue my honor as the wind, And my prosperity (Lxx = soteria) has passed away like a cloud. Psalm 3:2 Many are saying of my soul, "There is no deliverance (Lxx = soteria) for him in God." Selah (But see David's assurance in Ps 3:3 which is a Pauline like assurance - Ro 8:31). Psalm 3:8 Salvation (Lxx = soteria) belongs to the LORD (We see similar declarations in Jonah 2:9; Rev. 7:10; Rev 19:1); Your blessing be upon Your people! Selah. Psalm 9:14 That I may tell of all Your praises, That in the gates of the daughter of Zion I may rejoice in Your salvation (Lxx = soterion). Psalm 13:5 But I have trusted in Your lovingkindness (unfailing covenant love - hesed/chesed/heced); My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation (Lxx = soterion). Psalm 14:7 Oh, that the salvation (Lxx = soterion) of Israel would come out of Zion! (A prayer for the Kingdom of Messiah to come - cp Mt 6:10-note) When the LORD restores His captive people (Second Coming = When the Deliverer returns - Ro 11:26, 27-note), Jacob will rejoice, Israel will be glad (We see Isaiah referring to this joy in Isaiah 12:3, 6).
Isaías 12
MacArthur comments: In Jer 2:13, Yahweh decries the disobedient Jews for rejecting Him, the “fountain of living waters.” The OT prophets looked forward to a time when “living waters will flow out of Jerusalem” (Eze 47:9; Zec 14:8). The OT metaphor spoke of the knowledge of God and His grace which provides cleansing, spiritual life, and the transforming power of the Holy Spirit (cf. Isa 1:16, 17, 18; 12:3; 44:3; Eze 36:25, 26, 27). John applies these themes to Jesus Christ as the living water which is symbolic of eternal life mediated by the Holy Spirit from Him (cf. Jn 4:14; 6:35; 7:37, 38, 39). Jesus used the woman’s need for physical water to sustain life in this arid region in order to serve as an object lesson for her need for spiritual transformation.
