Isaiah 33
1. God's judgments against the enemies of the church
13. The consternation of sinners, and privileges of the godly














And no resident of Zion
The term "Zion" is deeply significant in biblical literature, often symbolizing the city of Jerusalem, the dwelling place of God, and the spiritual heart of Israel. In Hebrew, "Zion" (צִיּוֹן, Tziyon) conveys a sense of fortification and divine presence. Historically, Zion represents the hope and future restoration of God's people. This phrase suggests a future time of peace and divine favor, where the inhabitants of Zion are under God's protection and blessing.

will say, 'I am sick.'
The Hebrew word for "sick" (חָלָה, chalah) can imply physical illness or weakness. In the context of Isaiah, this phrase indicates a future era of divine healing and restoration. The absence of sickness symbolizes the complete well-being and wholeness that comes from living in God's presence. This reflects the eschatological hope of a time when God will remove all suffering and pain from His people.

The people who dwell there
This phrase emphasizes the community aspect of God's promise. "The people" (עַם, am) refers to the covenant community of Israel, those who are in a relationship with God. "Dwell" (יָשַׁב, yashav) implies a settled, secure, and permanent residence. It suggests a future where God's people are firmly established in His promises, living in peace and security.

will be forgiven of iniquity
Forgiveness is a central theme in the Bible, and the Hebrew word for "forgiven" (נָשָׂא, nasa) means to lift, carry, or take away. "Iniquity" (עָוֹן, avon) refers to moral perversity or sin. This phrase highlights the transformative power of God's grace, where He removes the burden of sin from His people. It points to the ultimate redemption and purification that God offers, a theme fulfilled in the New Testament through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. This promise of forgiveness is foundational to the Christian faith, offering hope and assurance of God's mercy and love.

(24) The inhabitant shall not say, I am sick . . .--The words seem to have had their starting- point in the pestilence which attacked the Assyrian army, and which had probably been felt, during the siege, in Jerusalem itself. The prophet, seeing in such a pestilence the punishment of iniquity, couples together the two blessings of health and pardon. Healthy, because holy, was his report as to the restored Jerusalem. (Comp. Matthew 9:2.)

Verse 24. - And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick. There shall be no sickness in the restored Jerusalem at least, no "sickness unto death." The people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity. Once more the prophet floats off into Messianic anticipations.
