Isaiah 27
1. The Deliverance of Israel














In the days to come
This phrase indicates a future time, often associated with prophetic fulfillment. It suggests a period of restoration and blessing for Israel. The "days to come" can be linked to eschatological themes found throughout the Bible, such as in Jeremiah 23:5-6 and Hosea 3:5, where future restoration and the coming of the Messiah are anticipated.

Jacob will take root
"Jacob" refers to the nation of Israel, named after the patriarch Jacob, whose name was changed to Israel. Taking root implies stability, growth, and establishment in the land. This imagery is reminiscent of agricultural practices in ancient Israel, where taking root was essential for a plant's survival and fruitfulness. It also connects to the promise of land and blessing given to the patriarchs, as seen in Genesis 28:13-15.

Israel will bud and blossom
This phrase symbolizes renewal and prosperity. The imagery of budding and blossoming is often used in the Bible to describe spiritual and physical flourishing. It can be compared to passages like Isaiah 35:1-2, where the desert is described as blooming, symbolizing transformation and divine blessing. This also points to the Messianic age, where Israel's spiritual revival is anticipated.

and fill the whole world with fruit
The fruitfulness of Israel is not just for its own benefit but is intended to bless the entire world. This reflects the Abrahamic covenant in Genesis 12:3, where God promises that through Abraham's descendants, all nations will be blessed. Theologically, this can be seen as a type of Christ, who is the ultimate fulfillment of Israel's calling to be a light to the nations, as seen in Isaiah 49:6. The global impact of Israel's fruitfulness is also echoed in the New Testament, where the spread of the Gospel is seen as the fulfillment of this promise.

Persons / Places / Events
1. Jacob
Represents the patriarch of the Israelites, often used to symbolize the nation of Israel as a whole. His name is synonymous with the people of God.

2. Israel
The nation chosen by God, descended from Jacob. In this context, it symbolizes the collective people of God who will experience growth and prosperity.

3. The Whole World
Refers to the global impact of Israel's flourishing, indicating a future time when the influence of God's people will extend beyond their borders.
Teaching Points
Rooted in Faith
Just as Jacob takes root, believers are called to be deeply rooted in their faith, drawing nourishment and strength from their relationship with God.

Spiritual Growth and Fruitfulness
Like Israel budding and blossoming, Christians are encouraged to grow spiritually and produce fruit in their lives, reflecting God's character and love to the world.

Global Impact of God's People
The prophecy of Israel filling the world with fruit serves as a reminder of the church's mission to spread the Gospel and influence the world positively.

Hope for the Future
This verse offers hope for a future where God's promises are fulfilled, encouraging believers to trust in His plan and timing.

Unity and Inclusion
The expansion of Israel's influence symbolizes the unity and inclusion of all believers, regardless of their background, into the family of God.(6) He shall cause them that come of Jacob . . .--Better, In the days that come Jacob shall strike root. The figure of Israel as the vine of Jehovah's vineyard is carried to its close. The true Israel of God shall go through its normal stages of growth, and its restoration shall be as "the riches of the Gentiles" (Romans 11:12; Hosea 14:6). With this picture of blessedness the psalm of the Church of the future comes to an end.

Verse 6. - He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root; rather, in the days to come Jacob shall strike root. Jacob, lately the vineyard, is now compared to a single vine, which becomes strong by striking its roots deep into the soil, and then, as a consequence, blossoms and buds, and fills the face of the world with fruit. So the Israel of God, firmly rooted in the soil of God's favor, would blossom with graces of all kinds, and bring forth the abundant fruit of good works.
