Isaiah 33:22

22 Dominus enim iudex noster Dominus legifer noster Dominus rex noster ipse salvabit nos

Isaiah 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.

Isaiah 33:22 In-Context

20 respice Sion civitatem sollemnitatis nostrae oculi tui videbunt Hierusalem habitationem opulentam tabernaculum quod nequaquam transferri poterit nec auferentur clavi eius in sempiternum et omnes funiculi eius non rumpentur

21 quia solummodo ibi magnificus Dominus noster locus fluviorum rivi latissimi et patentes non transibit per eum navis remigum neque trieris magna transgredietur eum

22 Dominus enim iudex noster Dominus legifer noster Dominus rex noster ipse salvabit nos

23 laxati sunt funiculi tui sed non praevalebunt sic erit malus tuus ut dilatare signum non queas tunc dividentur spolia praedarum multarum claudi diripient rapinam

24 nec dicet vicinus elangui populus qui habitat in ea auferetur ab eo iniquitas
