Isaiah 52:7
Verse 7 of 15
Commentary
Commentary on Isaiah 52:7
Theological / DevotionalHow beautiful. There is no more joyous message than that of deliverance and peace. To the Jews under an alien yoke nothing could bring greater rejoicing than assurance that the hour of deliverance was at hand. Paul applies these words of Isaiah to the proclamation of the gospel message (Rom. 10:15). The deliverance here foretold was, first, that of literal Israel from the nations that oppressed them (see on Isa. 40:1; 44:28 to 45:13), and then the greater deliverance from sin and all evil through the suffering Servant (see on chs. 41:8; 42:1) of ch. 53, that is, the Messiah. It should be noted that ch. 52:7-15 constitutes an introduction to ch. 53.
Good tidings. That is, the gospel story (see on Mark 1:1; 2:10).
Thy God reigneth! God is still in control of the affairs of earth (see on Dan. 4:17) in spite of appearances to the contrary. His power to deliver His people, and later the triumph of the gospel prove that He, and not Satan, reigns (see Rev. 11:15).
