Isaías 29:18 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 29:18

And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book,
&c.] That is, in the Gospel day, or times of the Gospel dispensation, when that should be preached to the Gentiles; who before were deaf, but now should be made to hear, and be willing to hear, and hear so as to understand the doctrines contained in the Scriptures, the prophecies of them concerning the Messiah; even the words of that book that is sealed to the Jews, and could not be read, neither by the learned nor unlearned among them; but should be both read, heard, and understood, by the Gentiles, having ears given them to hear the Gospel, to receive its doctrines, and obey its ordinances:

and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of
darkness;
such, who before were blind and ignorant as to spiritual things, being called, through the ministry of the word, out of darkness into marvellous light, and their eyes being opened by it, should now see their sin and misery, their lost and dangerous estate, the way of life and salvation by Christ, the great and glorious truths of the Gospel, and what eye has not seen, nor ear heard.

Isaías 29:18 In-Context

16 Vós tudo perverteis! Acaso o oleiro há de ser reputado como barro, de modo que a obra diga do seu artífice: Ele não me fez; e o vaso formado diga de quem o formou: Ele não tem entendimento?

17 Porventura dentro ainda de muito pouco tempo não se converterá o Líbano em campo fértil? e o campo fértil não se reputará por um bosque?

18 Naquele dia os surdos ouvirão as palavras do livro, e dentre a escuridão e dentre as trevas os olhos dos cegos a verão.

19 E os mansos terão cada vez mais gozo no Senhor, e os pobres dentre os homens se alegrarão no santo de Israel.

20 Porque o opressor é reduzido a nada, e não existe mais o escarnecedor, e todos os que se dão � iniqüidade são desarraigados;
