Isaiah 65:19,20 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

How truly blessed is it to see and remark the happy change wrought in the circumstances of mankind, by the gracious effects of the gospel of peace. And what tends to heighten and endear those blessings, is, that in every renewed heart, where a saving change wrought, the auspicious consequences are instantly induced, whether in infancy or old age. The infant in nature is an old man in grace; for all are one in Christ Jesus: whence the sinner, though he were to live a hundred years twice told, and yet live out of Christ, and without Christ, and then dies at last, dies in the same state of condemnation in which he was born, and the wrath of God abideth upon him, John 3:36.

Isaiah 65:19-20

19 And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying.

20 There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed.
