Commentary on Isaiah 65:9

Theological / Devotional

A seed out of Jacob. A seed represents only a small portion of the plant that produced it. It may appear insignificant, but it is of the highest importance, for it possesses the capability of reproducing itself manyfold. Not all of Jacob and of Judah are to be saved, but only a remnant (chs. 1:9; 10:21; 11:11; 46:3).

My mountains. Palestine is a mountainous country and is fittingly represented by such a term (see Isa. 14:25; cf. Isa. 57:13; Eze. 36:1-8).

Mine elect. Or, “my chosen.” God’s elect are not a favored few arbitrarily selected by the Lord; they include all who choose to follow in God’s ways of righteousness (see Isa. 43:20; 45:4; Matt. 24:22).
