Isaiah 64:3 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 64:3

When thou didst terrible things, which we looked not for, thou
camest down
Referring to the wonderful things God did in Egypt, at the Red sea, and in the wilderness, and particularly at Mount Sinai, things that were unexpected, and not looked for; then the Lord came down, and made visible displays of his power and presence, especially on Mount Sinai; see ( Exodus 19:18 ) : the mountains flowed down at thy presence;
not Sinai only, but others also; Kimchi says Seir and Paran; ( Judges 5:4 Judges 5:5 ) ( Psalms 68:7 Psalms 68:8 ) ( Habakkuk 3:3 Habakkuk 3:6 ) .

Isaiah 64:3 In-Context

1 O let the heavens be broken open and come down, so that the mountains may be shaking before you,

2 As when fire puts the brushwood in flames, or as when water is boiling from the heat of the fire: to make your name feared by your haters, so that the nations may be shaking before you;

3 While you do acts of power for which we are not looking, and which have not come to the ears of men in the past.

4 The ear has not had news of, or the eye seen, ... any God but you, working for the man who is waiting for him.

5 Will you not have mercy on him who takes pleasure in doing righteousness, even on those who keep in mind your ways? Truly you were angry, and we went on doing evil, and sinning against you in the past.
