Commentary
Commentary on Isaiah 33:16
Theological / DevotionalHe shall dwell on high. That is, in a place of safety. Ancient cities were built “on high” for protection against invasion. High ground is always advantageous in warfare.
The munitions. Or, “strongholds.” To those who love and serve Him, the Lord offers protection and care during every time of trouble. The promise here given will prove of special comfort to God’s people during the great crisis of the last days, when places of safety will be provided for them out of reach of those bent on their destruction (see Ps. 61:2, 3; 91:1, 2). While the wicked suffer for lack of food and water (see Rev. 16:4–9) the saints will have life’s necessities provided them.
