Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 25:7

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

7. face of . . . covering —image from mourning, in which it was usual to cover the face with a veil ( 2 Samuel 15:30 ). "Face of covering," that is, the covering itself; as in 2 Samuel 15:30- : , "the face of his garment," the garment itself. The covering or veil is the mist of ignorance as to a future state, and the way to eternal life, which enveloped the nations ( 2 Samuel 15:30- : ) and the unbelieving Jew ( 2 Samuel 15:30- : ). The Jew, however, is first to be converted before the conversion of " all nations "; for it is "in this mountain," namely, Zion, that the latter are to have the veil taken off ( Psalms 102:13 ; Psalms 102:15 ; Psalms 102:16 ; Psalms 102:21 ; Psalms 102:22 ; Romans 11:12 ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-8" class="com-number"
