Isaiah 45:8
_ _ Drop — namely, the fertilizing rain (Psalms 65:12).
_ _ skies — clouds; lower than the “heavens.”
_ _ righteousness — that is, the dews of the Holy Spirit, whereby “righteousness” shall “spring up.” (See latter end of the verse).
_ _ earth — figuratively for the hearts of men on it, opened for receiving the truth by the Holy Ghost (Acts 16:14).
_ _ them — the earth and the heavens. Horsley prefers: “Let the earth open, and let salvation and justice grow forth; let it bring them forth together; I the Lord have created him” (Isaiah 45:13). Maurer translates, “Let all kinds of salvation (prosperity) be fruitful” (Psalms 72:3, Psalms 72:6, Psalms 72:7). The revival of religion after the return from Babylon suggests to the prophet the diffusion of Messiah’s Gospel, especially in days still future; hence the elevation of the language to a pitch above what is applicable to the state of religion after the return. |
Isaiah 45:8
Drop — The righteous and gracious acts of God for his people, shall be so many, as if God rained showers of righteousness out of heaven. Open — Open itself to bring forth those fruits which may be expected from such showers. Them — The heavens and the earth conspiring together. Together — Together with salvation. It — This great work of salvation and righteousness; whereof, tho' Cyrus is the instrument, I am the author. |
Isaiah 45:8
Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down (i) righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the LORD have (k) created it.
(i) He comforts the Jews as if he would say, "Though when you look to the heavens and earth for comfort you see nothing now but signs of God's wrath, yet will cause them to bring forth certain tokens of your deliverance, and of the performance of my promise": which is meant by righteousness.
(k) I have appointed Cyrus to this use and purpose. |
