Commentary

Commentary on Isaiah 11:14

Theological / Devotional

The Philistines. The peoples here mentioned were the traditional enemies of Israel. This prophecy was conditional upon Israel’s faithfulness to God (see Jer. 18:7–10). As a result of Israel’s persistent failure to cooperate with God she forfeited His blessing, and He could not subdue her enemies as He would have done (see p. 31). In principle, however, this promise will be fulfilled to the church today, for God will vanquish all her enemies (see Dan. 7:18; 12:1; Rev. 19:2; see on Deut. 18:15). The setting up of Messiah’s kingdom will see the utter defeat of all His enemies.
