Isaiah 8:14
_ _ sanctuary — inviolable asylum, like the altar of the temple (1 Kings 1:50; 1 Kings 2:28; Ezekiel 11:16; compare Proverbs 18:10); namely, to those who fear and trust in Him.
_ _ but ... offence — that is, a rock over which they should fall to their hurt; namely those who would not believe.
_ _ both ... houses — Israel and Judah. Here again the prophecy expands beyond the temporary application in Ahaz’ time. The very stone, Immanuel, which would have been a sanctuary on belief, becomes a fatal stumbling-block through unbelief. Jesus Christ refers to this in Matthew 21:44. (Compare Deuteronomy 32:4, Deuteronomy 32:15, Deuteronomy 32:18, Deuteronomy 32:30, Deuteronomy 32:31, Deuteronomy 32:37; Daniel 2:34; Romans 9:33; 1 Peter 2:8).
_ _ gin — trap, in which birds are unexpectedly caught (Luke 21:35; 1 Thessalonians 5:2). So at the destruction of Jerusalem under Titus. |
Isaiah 8:14
Sanctuary — A sure refuge to all that truly fear him, and rely upon him. A stone — An occasion of sin and ruin, at whom they will take offence and stumble, so as to fall and be broken. To both — To the two kingdoms, that of the ten tribes, and that of the two tribes. Jerusalem — Which are distinctly mentioned, as a wonderful thing, because Jerusalem was the seat of the temple, and of God's solemn worship, where all the means of knowledge and grace were in greatest plenty, where the thrones of civil and ecclesiastical judicature were established, where the most wise and learned doctors had their constant abode. And that such a place and people should reject Immanuel when he should appear, was so strange an occurrence, that the prediction of it was highly necessary, lest otherwise, when it came to pass, it should shake the faith of all who did believe on him; whereas now the accomplishment hereof was a notable confirmation of their faith. |
Isaiah 8:14
And he shall be for a (q) sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a trap and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
(q) He will defend you who are his elect, and reject all the rest, meaning Christ against whom the Jews would stumble and fall, (Luke 2:23; Romans 9:33; 1 Peter 2:7,8). |

Romans 11:9-11 And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them: ... I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall?
