Isaiah 51:6 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Lift up your eyes to the heavens Look up to the visible heavens above, which have continued hitherto, and seem likely to continue; and look upon the earth beneath Which seems as firmly established as if it would endure for ever. The heavens shall vanish away like smoke Which soon spends itself and disappears; and the earth shall wax old, &c. Shall decay and perish, like a worn-out garment. And they that dwell therein shall die in like manner Shall be dissolved, as the heaven and earth shall be, 2 Peter 3:11. But my salvation shall be for ever, &c. As it shall spread through all the nations of the earth, so it shall last through all the ages of the world, and, in its consequences, to all eternity.

Isaiah 51:6

6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.
