Isaías 57:14 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 57:14

And shall say, cast ye up, cast ye up
A causeway, a highway, for the people of the Jews to return to their own land: this is either said by the Lord, as some supply it; or by the prophet, as Jarchi; or by him that putteth his trust in the Lord, as Kimchi; or rather by one, that is, the first of the living creatures, a set of Gospel ministers, that shall give to the angels, the Protestant princes and potentates, the seven last vials to pour out on the antichristian states, both Papal and Mahometan, and shall stir them up to do it; or the voice out of the temple, that shall order them to do their work; by which means way will be made for the return of the said people, ( Revelation 15:7 ) ( 16:1 ) : prepare the way;
of the true doctrine and worship of God: the way of truth and holiness, of faith and practice: take up the stumblingblock out of the way of my people;
the superstition, idolatry, and impiety of the church of Rome, are the great stumblingblock in the way of the conversion of the Jews, and the means of hardening that people in their disbelief of Christ and the Christian religion; wherefore the fall of antichrist, and a reformation everywhere from all corruption in doctrine and worship, in principle and practice, which also may be intended by these expressions, will prepare the way for their embracing the Christian religion, and so for their return to their own land. The Targum is,

``and he shall say, teach and admonish, prepare (or direct) the heart of the people to the right way, remove the stumblingblock of the wicked out of the way of my people.''

Isaías 57:14 In-Context

12 Sua retidão e sua justiça exporei,e elas não a beneficiarão.

13 Quando você clamar por ajuda,que a sua coleção de ídolos a salve!O vento levará todos eles,um simples sopro os arrebatará.Mas o homem que faz de mim o seu refúgioreceberá a terra por herançae possuirá o meu santo monte”.

14 E se dirá:“Aterrem, aterrem, preparem o caminho!Tirem os obstáculos do caminho do meu povo”.

15 Pois assim diz o Alto e Sublime,que vive para sempre, e cujo nome é santo:“Habito num lugar alto e santo,mas habito também com o contrito e humilde de espírito,para dar novo ânimo ao espírito do humildee novo alento ao coração do contrito.

16 Não farei litígio para sempre,nem permanecerei irado,porque, senão, o espírito do homem esmoreceria diante de mim,bem como o sopro do homem que eu criei!
