Bible Commentaries

Psalms 18:50 — administer the government for him. He did not reign on his own account, but he reigned for God, and with a view to do his will.And showeth mercy to his anointed - To him who had been set apart to the kingly office by a solemn act of anointing. Compare 1 Samuel 16:13; 2Sa 2:4-7; 2 Samuel 5:3, 2Sa 5:17; 2 Samuel 12:7; compare 2Ki 9:3, 2 Kings 9:6,2 Kings 9:12. It is in allusion to this custom that the Messiah is called the Anointed, or the Christ. See the note at Matthew 1:1.To David, and to his seed

Psalms 88:5 — “Pertaining to the dead - (den Todten angehorend) - stricken down, like the slain, I lie in the grave,” and explains it as meaning, “I am as good as dead.” The word rendered “free” - חפשׁי chophshı̂y - means properly, according to Gesenius (Lexicon),(1) prostrate, weak, feeble;(2) free, as opposed to a slave or a captive;(3) free from public taxes or burdens.The word is translated “free” in Exodus 21:2, Exodus 21:5,Exodus 21:26-27; Deuteronomy 15:12-13, Deuteronomy 15:18; 1 Samuel 17:25; Job 3:19;

Isaiah 11:11 — que uno debe ser prominente, o ser el objeto principal en ese momento. Por lo tanto, se aplica a la época del Mesías, como el período del mundo en el que él será el objeto destacado o distinguido; Juan 8:56: 'Abraham se alegró de ver mi día;' Lucas 17:24: 'Así será el Hijo del hombre en su día'. La expresión aquí significa que en algún lugar en ese futuro tiempo, cuando el Mesías debería aparecer, o cuando el mundo debería someterse a él como el Mediador, el evento se llevaría a cabo que aquí se

Isaiah 46:10 — Declaring the end from the beginning - Foretelling accurately the course of future events. This is an argument to which God often appeals in proof that he is the only true God (see Isaiah 41:22-23; Isaiah 43:12; Isaiah 44:26).My counsel shall stand - My purpose, my design, my will. The phrase ‘shall stand’ means that it shall be stable, settled, fixed, established. This proves:1. That God has a purpose or plan in regard to human affairs.

Isaiah 53:4 — que se haría sensible a su error, que habían juzgado incorrectamente el carácter de la víctima. La palabra traducida 'seguramente' (אכן 'âkēn, Vulgate, vere), es a veces una partícula que afirma fuertemente, es decir, de cierta verdad Génesis 28:16; Éxodo 2:14; Jeremias 8:8. A veces es una partícula adversativa, es decir, pero Salmo 31:23; Isaías 49:24. Probablemente se usa en ese sentido aquí, lo que significa que, aunque fue despreciado por ellos, era digno de su estima y confianza, ya que

Ezekiel 40:3 — La apariencia del latón - Brillantemente brillante. Una línea de lino - Para medir el plano del terreno. Una caña de medición - Para las paredes (compárese Jeremias 31:38). Medir implicaba una separación para fines sagrados. Las medidas son: (1) exacto, para demostrar que la promesa es cierta; (2) igual, para denotar armonía; (3) vasta, para marcar majestad y grandeza.

Daniel 11:24 — for the possession of these provinces. Antiochus Epiphanes, however, at first took Pelusium, the key of Egypt, and then invaded Egypt itself, seized upon its strongest places, and made the king a captive. - Jahn, “Heb. Commonwealth,” p. 263. Compare 1 Macc. 1:16.He shall scatter among them the prey ... - Among his followers. He shall reward them with the spoils of Egypt. Compare 1 Macc. 1:19: “Thus they got the strong cities in the land of Egypt, and he took the spoils thereof.And he shall forecast

Hosea 1:1 — welling-forth.” God ordained that the name of his father too should signify truth. From God, as from the fountain of life, Hosea drew the living waters, which he poured out to the people. “With joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation” Isaiah 12:3.In the days of Uzziah ... - Hosea, although a prophet of Israel, marks his prophecy by the names of the kings of Judah, because the kingdom of Judah was the kingdom of the theocracy, the line of David to which the promises of God were made. As Elisha,

Micah 2:7 — says, “Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, which are called by the name of Israel - which make mention of the God of Israel, not in truth, nor in righteousness. For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel” Isaiah 48:1. They boasted of what convicted them of faithlessness. They relied on being what in spirit they had ceased to be, what in deeds they denied, children of a believing forefather. It is the same temper which we see more at large in their descendants; “We

Zechariah 10:2 — instruments of divination. They are united with the “ephod,” as forbidden, over against the allowed, means of enquiry as to the future, in Hosea, “without an ephod and without teraphim” Hosea 3:4; they were united in the mingled worship of Micah Judges 17:5; Judges 18:14, Judges 18:17-18, Judges 18:20; Josiah “put” them “away” together with the “workers with familiar spirits and the wizards” 2 Kings 23:24, to which are added, “the idols.” It was probably, a superstition of Eastern origin. Rachel brought

Matthew 10:8 — Recibieron gratuitamente, den libremente - Es decir, no debían vender sus favores de curación, predicación, etc. No debían hacer dinero. asunto de esto, negociar específicamente para sanar por tanto y expulsar demonios por tanto. Esto, sin embargo, ni entonces ni después les impidió recibir un apoyo competente. Ver Lucas 10:7; 1Co 9: 8-14 ; 1 Timoteo 5:18.

Matthew 13:34-35 — Para que se cumpla - Esto se toma de Salmo 78:2. Se da el sentido, y no las palabras del Salmo. Cristo enseñó, como lo hizo ese profeta, Asaf, en parábolas. Las palabras de Asaph describieron la manera en que Cristo enseñó, y en este sentido se podría decir que se cumplieron. Vea las notas en Mateo 1:22.

John 15:12 — Este es mi mandamiento - La ley especial del cristianismo, llamada por lo tanto "el nuevo mandamiento". Vea las notas en Juan 13:34. Como te he amado - Es decir, con el mismo tierno cariño, dispuesto a soportar pruebas, practicar abnegaciones y, si es necesario, recostarse bajar la vida el uno por el otro, 1 Juan 3:16.

Acts 2:2 — sensible manner, so as to convince their own minds that the promise was fulfilled, and so as deeply to impress others with the greatness and importance of the event.There came a sound - ἦχος ēchos. This word is applied to any noise or report. Hebrews 12:19, “the sound of a trumpet”; Luke 4:37, “The fame of him,” etc. Compare Mark 1:28.From heaven - Appearing to rush down from the sky. It was suited, therefore, to attract their attention no less from the direction from which it came, than on account

1 Corinthians 15:12 — Now if Christ ... - Paul, having 1 Corinthians 15:1-11 stated the direct evidence for the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, proceeds here to demonstrate that the dead would rise, by showing how it followed from the fact that the Lord Jesus had risen, and by showing what consequences would

1 Corinthians 15:16 — Porque si los muertos no se levantan ... - Esto es una repetición de lo que se dice en 1 Corintios 15:13. Aquí se repite, evidentemente, por su importancia. Era una verdad grandiosa y trascendental que "soportaría" la repetición, que si no había resurrección, como algunos sostenían, entonces se seguiría que el Señor Jesús no había resucitado.

1 Corinthians 2:16 — Para quién ha conocido ... - Este pasaje se cita de Isaías 40:13. La forma interrogativa es un modo fuerte de negar que alguien haya conocido la mente del Señor. El argumento de Pablo es este: “Nadie puede entender a Dios. Nadie puede comprender completamente sus planes, sus sentimientos, sus puntos de vista, sus

1 Corinthians 4:3 — for seeking so much the praise of each other. The Greek here is “of man’s day,” where “day” is used, as it often is in Hebrew, to denote the day of trial; the Day of Judgment; and then simply Judgment. Thus, the word יום yowm “day” is used in Job 24:1; Psalms 37:13; Joel 1:15; Joel 2:1; Malachi 4:1.Yea, I judge not my own self - I do not attempt to pronounce a judgment on myself. I am conscious of imperfection, and of being biased by self-love in my own favor. I do not feel that my judgment of myself

In Acts 16:11-12, it is said that Paul and his fellow travelers “loosed from Troas, came with a straight course to Samothracia and Neapolis,

Hebrews 6:14 — Diciendo: Seguramente bendición te bendeciré - Es decir, ciertamente te bendeciré. La frase es un modo de expresión hebreo, para denotar énfasis o certeza, indicado por la repetición de una palabra; compare Génesis 14:23; Éxodo 8:1; Joel 3:14; Jueces 5:3; Jueces 15:16. Multiplicando Te multiplicaré - Te aumentaré enormemente - Te otorgaré una posteridad extremadamente numerosa.
