Commentary on Isaiah 26:19

Theological / Devotional

Thy dead. From the unsatisfactory experiences of the present the prophet’s attention is again directed to the glorious joys of the future, when “the dead in Christ shall rise” to be forever with their Lord (1 Thess. 4:16, 17). Ezekiel likened the restoration of the Jews after the Babylonian captivity to resurrection from the dead (Eze. 37:1-14). Deliverance from the power of the enemy then was a type of the greater deliverance from the power of Satan and the grave. The return of the Jews from literal Babylon prefigured the deliverance of all God’s people from mystical Babylon (see on Rev. 18:2, 4). Dwell in dust. That is, in the grave (Gen. 3:19; Eccl. 12:7).
