How does Isaiah 25:6, which speaks of a universal feast for all peoples, align with other Old Testament passages emphasizing Israel's exclusivity? What Does Isaiah 29:6 Mean You will be visited by the LORD of HostsWhen God promises a “visit,” He is not dropping by for casual fellowship; He is coming in power to act. Here He arrives as “the LORD of Hosts,” Commander of heaven’s armies. That title alone signals majesty, authority, and an unstoppable advance (Psalm 46:7; Isaiah 13:4). Just as He “visited” Egypt with plagues (Exodus 3:16; 12:12) and “visited” His people for redemption (Luke 1:68), He now declares a decisive intervention against Jerusalem’s pride (Isaiah 29:1–4). The Lord’s visitation is always personal, purposeful, and perfect in timing—never random. with thunder Thunder in Scripture often marks the audible presence of God at moments of covenant or judgment: • Sinai shook with “thunder and lightning” when the Law was given (Exodus 19:16). • Samuel called on God, and He “thundered with a mighty voice” to rout the Philistines (1 Samuel 7:10). • David said, “The LORD thundered from heaven” when enemies were scattered (Psalm 18:13). Here thunder signals divine speech that cannot be ignored. God’s voice reverberates over human rebellion and demands attention. and earthquake Physical upheaval mirrors spiritual upheaval. Earthquakes accompany significant acts of God: • The ground quaked when Jesus died and the temple veil tore (Matthew 27:51). • Another quake marked His resurrection triumph (Matthew 28:2). • Future judgments include earth-shaking events (Revelation 6:12). Isaiah’s audience is reminded that even the foundations under their feet are subject to the Creator’s command. and loud noise The phrase points to an overwhelming, disorienting roar—God’s glory amplified. Psalm 29 paints a similar scene where “the voice of the LORD resounds” over waters, forests, and mountains, splintering cedars and stripping forests bare. The sheer volume underscores that no power structure or human scheme can drown out His declaration. with windstorm A windstorm (whirlwind) illustrates suddenness and intensity. When God answered Job, He spoke “out of the whirlwind” (Job 38:1), revealing sovereignty over creation’s fiercest forces (Nahum 1:3). Windstorms topple the proud, cleanse the landscape, and leave no doubt about who commands every gust (Psalm 83:15). and tempest A tempest combines violent wind and torrential rain. Isaiah had just warned that God’s judgment would come “like a devastating storm” (Isaiah 28:2). Jonah’s runaway plans were halted by a divinely appointed tempest (Jonah 1:4). Tempests expose false security—roofs, walls, and human defenses prove flimsy when God stirs the skies. and consuming flame of fire Fire in Scripture represents both purification and destruction. The Lord is “a consuming fire” (Deuteronomy 4:24; Hebrews 12:29). Elijah called down fire that devoured sacrifices and stone (1 Kings 18:38). Revelation depicts fire consuming final rebellion (Revelation 20:9). For Isaiah’s Jerusalem, fire pictures judgment that burns away hypocrisy, leaving either refined faith or ashes of pride. summary Isaiah 29:6 layers one vivid image upon another to answer a complacent city: the living God will personally confront arrogance with unmistakable force. Thunder announces His voice, earthquakes reveal His dominion, roaring noise demands attention, whirlwinds and tempests dismantle false refuges, and purging fire finishes what judgment began. Each element assures us that the Lord of Hosts still commands every part of nature to accomplish His righteous purposes—protecting the humble, opposing the proud, and proving His word unfailingly true. (6) Thou shalt be visited . . .--Better, She (i.e., Jerusalem). The words may be figurative, but they may also be literal. Some terrific storm, acting as an "angel of the Lord" (Isaiah 37:36; Psalm 104:4), should burst at once upon Jerusalem and the hosts that were encamped against her, bringing to her safety, but to them destruction. As in the next verse, the "multitude of all nations" of the great host of Assyria should be as "a dream, a vision of the night."Verse 6. - Thou shalt be visited; literally, shall there be a visitation. On whom the visitation will fall is not expressed; but the context shows that it is on the enemies of Judah. The terrible nature of the visitation is signified by an enumeration of the most fearful of God's judgments - "thunder, earthquake, great noise, whirlwind, tern-pest, and a flame of devouring fire." All the expressions are probably metaphorical.Parallel Commentaries ...
