Introduction Chapter 1 Chapters 2 to 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Chapters 7 to 9 Chapters 9:8 to 12 Chapters 13 and 14 Chapters 15 to 18 Chapters 19 to 23 Chapter 24 Chapters 25 and 26 Chapter 27 Chapter 28 Chapter 29 Chapter 30 Chapter 31 Chapter 32 Chapters 33 and 34 Chapter 35 Chapters 36 to 39 Chapter 40 Chapters 41 to 43 Chapters 44 and 45 Chapters 46 to 48 Chapter 49 Chapter 50 Chapters 51 and 52 Chapter 53 Chapter 54 Chapters 55 to 57 Chapters 58 and 59 Chapter 60 Chapters 61 and 62 Chapter 63 Chapters 64 and 65 Chapter 66 | #### Full, free grace and blessing: the moral instruction necessary Chapters 55, 56, 57 are exhortations given in view of these things. Chapter 55 is full free grace, which consequently embraces the Gentiles. For this reason it can be applied as a principle to the gospel. Its accomplishment will be in the time of blessings to the earth through the Lord's presence. Chapter 56 gives the moral character that is necessary to enjoy the blessing, which is no longer according to the narrow legal principles of former days. His house shall in fact be a house of prayer for all those whose hearts are truly turned unto the God of Israel; and they shall be joyful in it. Chapter 57 denounces (we may say, on the same principle) those even in Israel who morally walk contrary to the will of God. The righteous might perish. But it would only be taking them from the evil to come. But whether it were Israel or not, there would be no peace for the wicked. These three chapters then give the moral instruction that belongs to those days. The faithful shall be blessed, and the meek, be they who they may; the wicked shall be judged, whether of Israel or not. Thus closes, as I have said, with chapter 57 the second subdivision of this part of the prophecy. |
