Isaia 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.

Isaia 63:18 In-Context

16 Certo, tu sei nostro Padre, benchè Abrahamo non ci conosca, e che Israele non ci riconosca; tu, Signore, sei nostro Padre, e il tuo Nome ab eterno è: Redentor nostro.
17 Perchè, o Signore, ci hai traviati dalle tue vie, ed hai indurato il cuor nostro, per non temerti? Rivolgiti, per amor de’ tuoi servitori, delle tribù della tua eredità.
18 Il popolo della tua santità è stato per poco tempo in possessione; i nostri nemici han calpestato il tuo santuario.
19 Noi siamo stati come quelli sopra i quali tu non hai giammai signoreggiato, e sopra i quali il tuo Nome non è invocato.
