Ésaïe 63:18 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 63:18

The people of thy holiness have possessed it but a little
while
Either the land of Canaan, which the Jews, the Lord's holy people, whom he had separated from others, possessed about fourteen hundred years, which was but a little while in comparison of "for ever", as was promised; or they enjoyed it but a little while in peace and quiet, being often disturbed by their neighbours; or else the sanctuary, the temple, as it is to be supplied from the next clause, which stood but little more than four hundred years: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary;
the temple; the first temple was destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar; and the second temple by the Romans; and Antiochus, and Pompey, and others, profaned it, by treading in it.

Ésaïe 63:18 In-Context

16 Car c'est toi qui es notre père! Quand Abraham ne nous connaîtrait pas, quand Israël ne nous avouerait pas, toi, Éternel, tu es notre père; notre Rédempteur, voilà ton nom de tout temps!
17 Pourquoi, ô Éternel, nous fais-tu égarer hors de tes voies, et endurcis-tu notre cœur pour ne pas te craindre? Reviens, en faveur de tes serviteurs, des tribus de ton héritage!
18 Pour un peu de temps ton peuple saint a possédé le pays; mais nos ennemis ont foulé ton sanctuaire.
19 Nous sommes comme ceux sur qui tu n'as jamais dominé, et qui ne sont pas appelés de ton nom!
