NASB | Isaiah 54:1 "Shout for joy, O barren one, you who have borne no child; Break forth into joyful shouting and cry aloud, you who have not travailed; For the sons of the desolate one will be more numerous Than the sons of the married woman," says the LORD. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Isaiah 54:1 "Shout for joy, O barren one, she who has not given birth; Break forth into joyful shouting and rejoice, she who has not gone into labor [with child]! For the [spiritual] sons of the desolate one will be more numerous Than the sons of the married woman," says the LORD. [Gal 4:27] |
Bible Question: Explain Isaiah 54:7 verse |
Bible Answer: Scripture always interprets scripture. See the reference to Galatians 4:27? Paul quotes this very verse. At that point in Paul's first epistle, he explains that Hagar was a type of the old covenant. Sarah was a type of the new covenant. As believers, we are the spiritual children of Sarah. Just as God predicted through Isaiah so long ago, there are more children of the new covenant than of the old. This was a direct fulfillment of prophecy to Abraham (Genesis 22:17). |
