Isaías 63:18

18 Tu pueblo poseyó por un tiempo tu santuario,pero ahora lo han pisoteado nuestros enemigos.

Isaías 63:18 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 63:18

The people of thy holiness have possessed it but a little
while
Either the land of Canaan, which the Jews, the Lord's holy people, whom he had separated from others, possessed about fourteen hundred years, which was but a little while in comparison of "for ever", as was promised; or they enjoyed it but a little while in peace and quiet, being often disturbed by their neighbours; or else the sanctuary, the temple, as it is to be supplied from the next clause, which stood but little more than four hundred years: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary;
the temple; the first temple was destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar; and the second temple by the Romans; and Antiochus, and Pompey, and others, profaned it, by treading in it.

Isaías 63:18 In-Context

16 Pero tú eres nuestro Padre,aunque Abraham no nos conozcani nos reconozca Israel;tú, SEÑOR, eres nuestro Padre;¡tu nombre ha sido siempre «nuestro Redentor»!

17 ¿Por qué, SEÑOR, nos desvías de tus caminos,y endureces nuestro corazónpara que no te temamos?Vuelve por amor a tus siervos,por las tribus que son tu herencia.

18 Tu pueblo poseyó por un tiempo tu santuario,pero ahora lo han pisoteado nuestros enemigos.

19 Estamos como si nunca nos hubieras gobernado,como si nunca hubiéramos llevado tu nombre.
