Commentary on Isaiah 53:12

Theological / Devotional

Therefore will I divide. God will reward His triumphant Servant with a place of high honor before all the universe.

The spoil. All that had been lost as a result of sin (see on v. 10) would be restored. Christ became “heir of all things,” and shares His inheritance with those He has rescued from the hand of the enemy (Heb. 1:2; Rom. 8:17; Col. 1:12; etc.). They share in His triumph, not as vassals or slaves, but as men and women redeemed by His blood and destined to reign with Him forever (2 Tim. 2:12; Rev. 5:10; 22:5). He will receive a “name which is above every name,” one before which “every knee should bow” (Phil. 2:9, 10).

Poured out his soul. See on v. 10.

Made intercession. Here the intercessory ministry of Christ is clearly foretold (Rom. 8:34; Heb. 7:25; 9:24; 1 John 2:1).
