Isaiah 54:5 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.

For thy Maker (is) thine husband; The Lord of hosts (is) his name - (Isaiah 62:5; Jeremiah 3:14.) That God was Israel's "Maker," both as individuals and as the theocratic kingdom, is the pledge of assurance that He will be her Redeemer (Isaiah 43:1-3). Hebrew, 'makers ... husbands,' plural for singular to denote excellency.

And thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth. Not until He manifests Himself as God of Israel shall He appear God of the whole earth (Psalms 102:13; Psalms 102:15-16; Zechariah 14:5; Zechariah 14:9).
