Isaías 49:17

17 Tus edificadores vendrán aprisa; tus destruidores, y tus asoladores saldrán de ti.

Isaías 49:17 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 49:17

Thy children shall make haste
Regenerate persons, young converts, such as are born again of incorruptible seed by the word; these shall flock to the church, as doves to the windows;
join themselves to her, and submit to Gospel ordinances, and make haste, and delay not, to keep the Lord's commandments;
which is no small pleasure, joy, and comfort to the church of God. Some render it, "thy builders" F13 "shall make haste"; Gospel ministers, who are wise masterbuilders under Christ; these shall come with all readiness and cheerfulness, and build in the temple, the church of God, and rebuild her walls, and repair her breaches: thy destroyers and they that made thee waste, shall go forth of thee;
tyrants and persecutors of the church shall cease, and be no more; and false teachers, that corrupt the minds of men, subvert their faith, and destroy their souls, as antichrist and his ministers, shall be drove out of the church, and destroyed by Christ, the Head of it; see ( Revelation 11:18 ) ( 1 John 2:19 ) .

Isaías 49:17 In-Context

15 ¿Se olvidará la mujer de lo que dio a luz, para dejar de compadecerse del hijo de su vientre? Aunque se olviden ellas, yo no me olvidaré de ti.
16 He aquí que en las palmas te tengo esculpida; delante de mí están siempre tus muros.
17 Tus edificadores vendrán aprisa; tus destruidores, y tus asoladores saldrán de ti.
18 Alza tus ojos alrededor, y mira: todos éstos se han ayuntado, han venido a ti. Vivo yo, dice el SEÑOR, que de todos, como de vestidura de honra, serás vestida; y de ellos serás ceñida como novia.
19 Porque tus asolamientos, y tus destrucciones, y tu tierra desierta, ahora será angosta por la multitud de los moradores; y tus destruidores serán apartados lejos.
