Isaiah 8:18 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

Behold — These words are literally spoken by Isaiah concerning himself, but mystically concerning Christ; and therefore they are fitly ascribed to Christ, Hebrews 2:13. The children — His spiritual children, whom he had either begotten or brought up by his ministry. Wonders — Are a gazing flock, for our folly in believing God's promises. From the Lord — Which comes to pass by the wise providence of God. Zion — Where the temple now was, and where the Messiah was to set up his kingdom.

Isaiah 8:18

18 Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion.
