以賽亞書 25:4

4 因 為 當 強 暴 人 催 逼 人 的 時 候 ， 如 同 暴 風 直 吹 牆 壁 ， 你 就 作 貧 窮 人 的 保 障 ， 作 困 乏 人 急 難 中 的 保 障 ， 作 躲 暴 風 之 處 ， 作 避 炎 熱 的 陰 涼 。

以賽亞書 25:4 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 25:4

For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to
the needy in his distress
The people of God, who are poor and needy, both in a literal and in a spiritual sense; and especially when under afflicted circumstances, in times of desertion, temptation, bodily affliction, and persecution from men, which may be here chiefly intended; to whom the Lord is a strength: he strengthens their hearts, and his own grace in them; he sheds abroad his love in their hearts, which makes their mountain to stand strong; he directs them to Christ, in whom is strength, as well as righteousness; he strengthens them by his Spirit, his promises, word, and ordinances. Christ may be more especially meant; and it may refer to the strength and power he will give to his people in the latter day; when a small one shall be a strong nation; when the feeble shall be as David, and the house of David as the angel of the Lord; when they shall have got the victory over the beast, his mark and image, ( Isaiah 60:21 ) ( Zechariah 12:8 ) ( Revelation 15:2 ) : a refuge from the storm;
or tempestuous rain, or overflowing flood; as Christ is a refuge from the tempest and storm of divine wrath and vengeance, by his satisfaction and righteousness, ( Isaiah 32:2 ) so from the flood of persecution, by his power and providence, ( Revelation 12:15 ) : a shadow from the heat;
which gives refreshment and rest, and is a protection from the scorching beams of the sun. Christ, as he is the shadow from the heat of a fiery law, from the flaming sword of justice, from the wrath of God, and the fiery darts of Satan's temptations; so from the violence of persecution, which heat shall now be no more, antichrist being destroyed, ( Revelation 7:15 Revelation 7:16 ) : when blast of the terrible ones [is] as a storm [against] the wall;
these terrible ones are either Satan and his principalities, who are very terrible to the Lord's people; and whose temptations are like a strong wind, which beat against them as against a wall, but they stand, the Lord being their strength, refuge, and shadow; see ( Isaiah 49:24 ) or rather antichrist and his persecuting princes, the kings of the earth, that have joined him, and persecuted the saints, and have been terrible to them; and whose persecutions have been like a blustering strong wind, threatening to carry all before them; but the Lord has been their protection, and made them to stand as a wall, firm and immovable, against them. The Targum is,

``so the words of the wicked are to the righteous, as a storm that dasheth against a wall.''

以賽亞書 25:4 In-Context

2 你 使 城 變 為 亂 堆 ， 使 堅 固 城 變 為 荒 場 ， 使 外 邦 人 宮 殿 的 城 不 再 為 城 ， 永 遠 不 再 建 造 。

3 所 以 ， 剛 強 的 民 必 榮 耀 你 ； 強 暴 之 國 的 城 必 敬 畏 你 。

4 因 為 當 強 暴 人 催 逼 人 的 時 候 ， 如 同 暴 風 直 吹 牆 壁 ， 你 就 作 貧 窮 人 的 保 障 ， 作 困 乏 人 急 難 中 的 保 障 ， 作 躲 暴 風 之 處 ， 作 避 炎 熱 的 陰 涼 。

5 你 要 壓 制 外 邦 人 的 喧 嘩 ， 好 像 乾 燥 地 的 熱 氣 下 落 ； 禁 止 強 暴 人 的 凱 歌 ， 好 像 熱 氣 被 雲 影 消 化 。

6 在 這 山 上 ， 萬 軍 之 耶 和 華 必 為 萬 民 用 肥 甘 設 擺 筵 席 ， 用 陳 酒 和 滿 髓 的 肥 甘 ， 並 澄 清 的 陳 酒 ， 設 擺 筵 席 。
