Commentary on Isaiah 6:9

Theological / Devotional

Hear ye indeed. Like many other prophets, Isaiah faced a difficult task. God warned him that the message he bore would largely go unheeded, that in spite of all he might do the people would continue in their evil ways. Apparent failure would be his unhappy lot, but certainly not more so than with the ministry of Jesus (Matt. 13:14, 15; John 12:37-41) and that of Paul (Acts 28:26, 27). These words of Isaiah are quoted repeatedly as applicable also to NT times. Isaiah nevertheless had the assurance that his work would not be entirely in vain, for God revealed to him that a remnant would be saved (chs. 1:9; 6:13; 10:21). Paul, however, realized that in his day the Jews had made their final decision and been cut off as the people of God (Acts 28:26-28; Rom. 9-11).
