Commentary on Isaiah 66:9

Theological / Devotional

Not cause to bring forth. The seriousness of God’s purpose is here emphasized. Israel’s failure to fulfill the divine purpose was not due to any deficiency of divine grace. Nor will God permit the temporary failure of Israel to frustrate the “plan of the ages for the redemption of mankind” (PK 705, 706). The heavenly Jerusalem, “the mother of us all” (Gal. 4:26), will be populated by the nations of the saved (see on Isa. 54:1).
