Jesaja 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.

Jesaja 63:18 In-Context

16 Gij zijt toch onze Vader, want Abraham weet van ons niet, en Israel kent ons niet; Gij, o HEERE! zijt onze Vader, onze Verlosser van ouds af is Uw Naam.
17 HEERE! waarom doet Gij ons van Uw wegen dwalen, waarom verstokt Gij ons hart, dat wij U niet vrezen? Keer weder om Uwer knechten wil, de stammen Uws erfdeels.
18 Uw heilig volk heeft het maar een weinig tijds bezeten; onze wederpartijders hebben Uw heiligdom vertreden.
19 Wij zijn geworden als die, over welke Gij van ouds niet hebt geheerst, en die naar Uw Naam niet zijn genoemd.
