Isaiah 57:14 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

And shall say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way, take up the stumblingblock out of the way of my people.

And shall say, Cast ye up ... prepare the way. The nominative is, 'He that trusteth in me' (Isaiah 57:13). The believing remnant shall have every obstacle to their return cleared out of the way at the coming restoration of Israel, the antitype to the return from Babylon (Isaiah 35:8; Isaiah 40:3-4; Isaiah 62:10-11).

Cast ye up - a high road before the returning Jews.

Take up the stumblingblock out of the way of my people. Jesus has been a stumblingblock to the Jews, but will not be so then any longer (1 Corinthians 1:23; 1 Peter 2:8). Their prejudices shall then be taken out of the way.
