Jesaja 30:29

29 Da werdet ihr singen wie in der Nacht eines heiligen Festes und euch von Herzen freuen, wie wenn man mit Flötenspiel geht zum Berge des HERRN, zum Hort Israels.

Jesaja 30:29 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 30:29

Ye shall have a song
That is, the Jews should have a song, and sing it upon the ruin of the Assyrian army; as the Israelites had, when Pharaoh and his host were drowned in the Red Sea; and so will the Christian church have one, at the fall of Babylon, ( Revelation 15:1-3 ) ( Revelation 19:1 Revelation 19:2 ) : as in the night, [when] a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of
heart,
the Jewish feasts always began, the even preceding, and were ushered in with singing songs, and psalms; especially the feast of the passover, which it is thought is alluded to here. It is a common notion of the Jews ^F11, that the slaughter of the Assyrian army was on the night of the passover; that it was in the night is certain, ( 2 Kings 19:35 ) but that it was on the night of the passover is not certain; however, the songs sung on that night were not on this occasion, nor could this be sung so soon; and it will be at evening time that the latter day glory shall break out, and songs of joy be heard from the uttermost parts of the earth, ( Zechariah 14:7 ) : as when one goeth with a pipe to come into the mountain of the
Lord;
the temple; it being usual for persons, that came from distant parts of the land to the temple to worship, to bring pipes along with them in their hands, and play upon them as they were travelling, to divert them, and the company that were with them; see ( Psalms 42:4 ) . Jarchi thinks the allusion is to the bringing up of the first fruits to the temple at Jerusalem, which was preceded with a pipe, as appears from the Misnah ^F12: to the mighty One of Israel;
or, "Rock of Israel" ^F13; one of the names of the Messiah, ( 2 Samuel 23:3 ) to whom the song of praise and triumph shall be sung, in the latter day, by those that stand upon Mount Zion, with harps in their hands, having gotten the victory over the beast and his image, ( Revelation 14:1-4 ) ( 15:1-4 ) .

Jesaja 30:29 In-Context

27 Siehe, des HERRN Name kommt von fern! Sein Zorn brennt und ist sehr schwer; seine Lippen sind voll Grimm und seine Zunge wie ein verzehrend Feuer,

28 und sein Odem wie eine Wasserflut, die bis an den Hals reicht: zu zerstreuen die Heiden, bis sie zunichte werden, und er wird die Völker mit einem Zaum in ihren Backen hin und her treiben.

29 Da werdet ihr singen wie in der Nacht eines heiligen Festes und euch von Herzen freuen, wie wenn man mit Flötenspiel geht zum Berge des HERRN, zum Hort Israels.

30 Und der HERR wird seine herrliche Stimme erschallen lassen, daß man sehe seinen ausgereckten Arm mit zornigem Dräuen und mit Flammen des verzehrenden Feuers, mit Wetterstrahlen, mit starkem Regen und mit Hagel.

31 Denn Assur wird erschrecken vor der Stimme des HERRN, der ihn mit der Rute schlägt.
