Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 52:12

_ _ not ... with haste — as when ye left Egypt (Exodus 12:33, Exodus 12:39; Deuteronomy 16:3; compare Note, see on Isaiah 28:16). Ye shall have time to cleanse yourselves and make deliberate preparation for departure.

_ _ Lord — Jehovah, as your Leader in front (Isaiah 40:3; Exodus 23:20; Micah 2:13).

_ _ rereward — literally, “gather up,” that is, to bring up the rear of your host. The transition is frequent from the glory of Messiah in His advent to reign, to His humiliation in His advent to suffer. Indeed, so are both advents accounted one, that He is not said, in His second coming, to be about to return, but to come.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 52:7-12.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 52:12

Not by flight — But securely, and in triumph, being conducted by your great captain the Lord of hosts. Rereward — So that none shall be able either to oppose you in your march, or to fall upon you in the rear.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Isaiah 52:12

For ye shall not go out (m) with haste, nor go by flight: for the LORD will go before you; and the God of Israel [will be] your rear guard.

(m) As your fathers did out of Egypt.
