What does Isaiah 65:21 mean?
John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
Isaiah 65:21
And they shall build houses, and inhabit them
In Jerusalem, and other parts of Judea: though this need not be
limited to the Jews, but be considered as reaching to all the
Lord's people, the Gentiles also; who will be in no fear of
enemies, or ever be disturbed by them, but shall dwell in their
own houses peaceably and quietly; this is the reverse of what is
threatened to the wicked, ( Deuteronomy
28:30 ) : and they shall plant vineyards,
and eat the fruit of them; they shall both live to dwell in their
houses when built, and till their vineyards bring forth fruit,
and then eat of them; and they shall be preserved from enemies
breaking in upon them, and wasting their plantations.
