Jesaja 40:5 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 40:5

And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed.
&c.] Christ himself, who is the brightness of his Father's glory, and his own glory, as the glory of the of the only begotten of the Father; the glorious perfections of his nature, seen in the miracles wrought, and in the doctrines taught by him; the glory of the divine Father, in the face or person of Christ; and the glory of his attributes, in the work of salvation by him; all which is most clearly discerned in the glass of the Gospel, or in the ministry of the word, by John, Christ himself, and his apostles: and all flesh shall see it together;
not the Jews only, but Gentiles also; not with their bodily eyes, but with the eyes of their understanding; even the salvation of the Lord, and his glory, as displayed in it, being set forth in the everlasting Gospel to the view of all; see ( Luke 3:7 ) , for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it:
that his glory should be revealed, and be visible to all, and therefore sure and certain; for what he has said he does, and what he has spoken he makes good. The Targum is,

``for by the word of the Lord it is so decreed;''
and therefore shall be fulfilled.

Jesaja 40:5 In-Context

3 Een stem des roependen in de woestijn: Bereidt den weg des HEEREN, maakt recht in de wildernis een baan voor onzen God!
4 Alle dalen zullen verhoogd worden, en alle bergen en heuvelen zullen vernederd worden; en wat krom is, dat zal recht, en wat hobbelachtig is, dat zal tot een vallei gemaakt worden.
5 En de heerlijkheid des HEEREN zal geopenbaard worden; en alle vlees te gelijk zal zien, dat het de mond des HEEREN gesproken heeft.
6 Een stem zegt: Roept! En hij zegt: Wat zal ik roepen? Alle vlees is gras, en al zijn goedertierenheid als een bloem des velds.
7 Het gras verdort, de bloem valt af, als de Geest des HEEREN daarin blaast; voorwaar, het volk is gras.
