Isaiah 11:13

13 The kingdom of Israel will not be jealous of Judah any more, and Judah will not be the enemy of Israel.

Isaiah 11:13 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 11:13

The envy also of Ephraim shall depart
With which it envied Judah, on account of the kingdom of the house of David, and the temple being in that tribe; not that this is the thing intended, only alluded to; the meaning is, that whatever envy or jealousy subsisted in the Gentile against the Jew, or in the Jew against the Gentile, should be no more, when gathered into one Gospel church state; or whatever of this kind has appeared in one Christian church, or denomination among Christians, against another, shall cease, when the Gospel in its power and purity shall more generally take place, and the earth shall be filled with it: and the adversaries of Judah,
or of God's professing people, shall be cut off;
and be no more, as the Turks and Papists: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim;
this is repeated for the confirmation of it; and the sense is, that all animosities, contentions, and discords, shall cease among the people of God, and there shall be entire peace and harmony among them. Jarchi interprets this of the two Messiahs, Messiah ben Joseph, and Messiah ben Judah, the Jews dream of.
