Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 66:7
COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD
7. she —Zion. Before . . . travailed . . . brought forth —The accession of numbers, and of prosperity to her, shall be sudden beyond all expectation and unattended with painful effort ( Isaiah 54:1 ; Isaiah 54:4 ; Isaiah 54:5 ). Contrast with this case of the future Jewish Church the travail-pains of the Christian Church in bringing forth "a man child" ( Revelation 12:2 ; Revelation 12:5 ). A man child's birth is in the East a matter of special joy, while that of a female is not so; therefore, it here means the manly sons of the restored Jewish Church, the singular being used collectively for the plural: or the many sons being regarded as one under Messiah, who shall then be manifested as their one representative Head. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-8" class="com-number"
