\\INTRODUCTION TO ISAIAH 27\\

This chapter refers to the same times as the two foregoing ones
\\#Isa 25:1-26:21\\; and is a continuation of the same song, or rather
a new one on the same occasion; it is prophetical of the last times,
and of what shall be done in them, as the destruction of the
antichristian powers, and Satan at the head of them, \\#Isa 27:1\\ the
happy state of the church, and its fruitfulness under the care and
protection of the Lord, and his affection for it, \\#Isa 27:2-4\\ its
peace, prosperity, and flourishing condition, \\#Isa 27:5,6\\ the
nature, use, and end of all its afflictions and chastisements,
\\#Isa 27:7-9\\ the ruin and destruction of the city of Rome, and its
inhabitants, and of its whole jurisdiction, \\#Isa 27:10,11\\ a
great gathering and conversion of the Lord's people, both Jews and
Gentiles, by the ministry of the Gospel, \\#Isa 27:12,13\\.
