And in this mountain shall the LORD of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.
In this mountain - Zion. Messiah's kingdom was to begin, and is to have its central seat hereafter, at Jerusalem, as the common country of "all nations," (Isaiah 2:2, etc.)
Unto all people - (Isaiah 56:7; Daniel 7:14; Luke 2:10.)
A feast - image of felicity, (Psalms 22:26-27; Matthew 8:11; Luke 14:15; Revelation 19:9: of. Psalms 36:8; Psalms 87:1-7.)
Fat things - delicacies; the rich mercies of God in Christ (Isaiah 55:2; Jeremiah 31:14; Job 36:16).
Wines on the lees - wine which has been long kept on the lees; i:e., the oldest and most generous wine (Jeremiah 48:11). Compare John 2:10, in the spiritual sense, as applied to Jesus, "Thou hast kept the good wine until now;" and Matthew 26:29, "I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom;" also Luke 22:29-30.
Marrow - the choicest dainties (Psalms 63:5).
Wines on the lees well refined - cleared of all dregs.
