Commentary on Isaiah 54:13

Theological / Devotional

Children. Literally, “sons,” a common Hebrew expression for progeny, irrespective of age. It includes those who are young in years but does not refer to them exclusively. Here it refers to all Jews, as “children” of their mother, Jerusalem.

Taught of the Lord. Heretofore, in their waywardness, the Jews had refused to heed the instruction of the Lord (see on ch. 1:2). Henceforth, in the restoration, they would be willing to learn of Him. In John 6:45, Christ applies these words of Isaiah to Himself and to His own teaching. Under the new covenant God would write the principles of His law within men’s hearts (see Jer. 31:33, 34; John 14:26,27; 1 Thess.4:9; Heb. 8:10, 11; 1 John 2:27). For the importance of heeding the revealed will of God, see on Matt. 7:21-27.

Peace. That is, complete well-being — of heart, mind, body, and environment.
