Isaías 40:8 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 40:8

The grass withereth, the flower fadeth
Which is repeated, to raise attention to it, as being a matter of importance, and for the confirmation of it: but the word of our God shall stand for ever;
the Apostle Peter adds, by way of explanation, and this is the word, which by the Gospel is preached unto you;
who seems to distinguish the word from the Gospel, by which it is preached, and to intend Christ the essential Word; who stands or abides for ever as a divine Person; in his office as Mediator, being Prophet, Priest, and King for ever; in the efficacy of his blood, righteousness, and sacrifice; and in the fulness of his grace: it is true of the written word or Gospel, which remains, is everlasting, and will stand and continue, notwithstanding the persecutions of tyrants, the craft of false teachers, the reproach of ungodly men, and the death of the best of men, even of ministers; though all flesh is grass, fading and withering, the word of God is fresh and lively, firm and durable; and so it is as transcribed into the hearts of men, where it becomes the ingrafted word, and issues in everlasting life. It may be applied to God's word of promise, which is for ever settled in heaven, and is always fulfilled.

Isaías 40:8 In-Context

6 Una voz dijo: Clama. Entonces él respondió: ¿Qué he de clamar? Toda carne es hierba, y todo su esplendor es como flor del campo.

7 Sécase la hierba, marchítase la flor cuando el aliento del SEÑOR sopla sobre ella; en verdad el pueblo es hierba.

8 Sécase la hierba, marchítase la flor, mas la palabra del Dios nuestro permanece para siempre.

9 Súbete a un alto monte, oh Sion, portador de buenas nuevas; levanta con fuerza tu voz, oh Jerusalén, portadora de buenas nuevas; levántala, no temas. Di a las ciudades de Judá: Aquí está vuestro Dios.

10 He aquí, el Señor DIOS vendrá con poder, y su brazo gobernará por El. He aquí, con El está su galardón, y delante de El su recompensa.
