SEV Biblia, Chapter 56:6
Y a los hijos de los extranjeros, que se allegaren al SEÑOR, para ministrarle, y que amaren el nombre del SEÑOR, para ser sus siervos; todos los que guardaren el Sábado de contaminarlo, y abrazaren mi Pacto,
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Isaiah 56:6
Verse 6. The sons of the stranger] The Gentiles. That join themselves to the Lord] Who shall enter into the Christian covenant by baptism and faith in Christ, as the Jews and proselytes did by circumcision.
To serve him-] To live according to the Gospel, and ever do that which is right in the sight of the Lord.
To love the name of the Lord] The name of JESUS, the Christ, the saviour of sinners, the Anointed of God, and the Giver of the Holy Spirit to his followers.
To be his servants] To worship no other God but JEHOVAH, and to trust in none for salvation but his CHRIST.
That keepeth the Sabbath] That observes it as a type of the rest that remains for the people of God.
And taketh hold of my covenant] ytyrbb biberithi, "of my covenant sacrifice; " as without this he can do nothing good; and without it nothing can be acceptable to the infinite majesty of the Most High.
Matthew Henry Commentary
A charge to keep the Divine precepts. (Is. 56:1,2) Blessings promised (Is. 56:3-8) Reproof to the careless watchmen, the teachers and ruler of the Jews. (Is. 56:9-12)
Is. 56:1,2 The Lord tells us what are his expectations of duty from us Be honest and just in all dealings. Also strictly observe the sabbat day. To have the blessing of God upon employments all the week, make conscience of keeping the sabbath holy. Have nothing to do with sin Blessed is the man that keeps his hand from all things displeasing to God and hurtful to his own soul. Those who, through the Spirit, wai for the hope of righteousness by faith, will be found walking in way of holy obedience.
Is. 56:3-8 Unbelief often suggests things to discourage believers against which God has expressly guarded. Spiritual blessings ar unspeakably better than having sons and daughters; for children are care, and may prove a grief and shame, but the blessings we partake of in God's house, are comforts which cannot be made bitter. Those wh love the Lord truly, will serve him faithfully, and then his commandments are not grievous. Three things are promised. Assistance: will not only bid them welcome, but incline them to come. Acceptance and comfort: though they came mourning to the house of prayer, the shall go away rejoicing. They shall find ease by casting their care and burdens upon God. Many a sorrowful spirit has been made joyful in the house of prayer. The Gentiles shall be one body with the Jews that, as Christ says, John 10:16, there may be one fold and on Shepherd. Thanks be to God that none are separated from him except be wilful sin and unbelief; and if we come to him, we shall be accepte through the sacrifice of our great High Priest.
Is. 56:9-12 Desolating judgments are called for; and this severe rebuk of the rulers and teachers of the Jewish church, is applicable to othe ages and places. It is bad with a people when their shepherds slumber and are eager after the world. Let us pray the Great Shepherd to sen us pastors after his own heart, who will feed us with knowledge, tha we may rejoice in his holy name, and that believers may be daily adde to the church __________________________________________________________________
