Ésaïe 33:22 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 33:22

For the Lord [is] our Judge
The Lord Christ, who has all judgment committed to him by the Father, who will judge his people, right their wrongs, and avenge their injuries: the Lord [is] our Lawgiver;
who has enacted wholesome laws for his church, writes them on their hearts, and puts his Spirit within them, to enable them to keep them: the Lord [is] our King:
King of saints, King of Zion, made so by his Father, owned by his church, under whose government it is in safety: he will save us;
from all sin, and from all enemies, with an everlasting salvation. The church here speaks with great pleasure of her interest in Christ under every character, and of her safety as depending upon him. The Targum is,

``the Lord is our Judge, who brought us by his power out of Egypt; the Lord is our teacher, who gave us the doctrine of the law from Sinai; the Lord is our King, he will redeem us, and take vengeance of judgment for us on the army of Gog;''

which shows that the ancient Jews understood this prophecy as referring to times yet to come.

Ésaïe 33:22 In-Context

20 Regarde Sion, la ville de nos fêtes solennelles! Que tes yeux contemplent Jérusalem, habitation tranquille, tente qui ne sera point transportée, dont les pieux ne seront jamais arrachés, et dont aucun cordage ne sera rompu.

21 Car c'est là que l'Éternel se montre puissant pour nous; il nous tient lieu de fleuves, de larges rivières, où les vaisseaux à rames ne passent point et que les grands vaisseaux ne traversent point.

22 Car l'Éternel est notre juge, l'Éternel est notre législateur, l'Éternel est notre roi; c'est lui qui nous sauvera.

23 Tes cordages sont relâchés; ils ne pourront maintenir leur mât, ni tendre la voile. Alors on partagera les dépouilles d'un grand butin; les boiteux même prendront part au pillage.

24 Aucun de ceux qui y demeurent ne dira: Je suis malade! Le peuple qui habite Jérusalem a reçu le pardon de son péché.
