10“Now I will arise,” says the LORD. “Now I will lift Myself up. Now I will be exalted.

Isaiah 33:10 Summary
[Isaiah 33:10 is a powerful declaration of God's power and authority, where He says, 'Now I will arise... Now I will lift Myself up. Now I will be exalted.' This means that God is taking action, using His power to bring about justice and restoration, much like He did in the story of Exodus, where He delivered His people from slavery (as seen in Exodus 15:1-21). It's a reminder that God is always in control, even when things seem chaotic and uncertain, and that He will ultimately be glorified and exalted (as seen in Psalm 46:10).]
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean for God to 'arise' and 'lift Himself up' in Isaiah 33:10?
This phrase means that God is taking action, exerting His power and authority, much like in Psalm 35:1 where David asks God to 'arise' and contend with his enemies. It signifies a shift from passivity to active engagement.
Why does God need to be 'exalted' in this context?
God's exaltation is a declaration of His supremacy and glory, as seen in Isaiah 6:1-5, where the prophet experiences a vision of God's majestic throne. This is a reminder that despite the chaos and despair around us, God remains sovereign and in control.
How does this verse relate to the surrounding context of judgment and desolation?
The verse serves as a turning point, marking the transition from God's description of judgment and chaos to His declaration of action and restoration, similar to the pattern seen in Isaiah 61:1-4, where God brings comfort and redemption after a time of devastation.
What does this verse teach us about God's character?
This verse highlights God's righteous and just nature, as seen in Deuteronomy 32:4, where God is described as a rock of integrity and justice. It reminds us that God will not remain silent or inactive in the face of wickedness and injustice.
Reflection Questions
- What are some areas in my life where I need to remember and declare God's sovereignty and power?
- How can I, like God, 'arise' and take action against the forces of darkness and injustice in my community?
- In what ways can I exalt and glorify God in my daily life, even in the midst of challenges and hardships?
- What does it mean for me to trust in God's power and authority, rather than relying on my own strength and abilities?
Gill's Exposition on Isaiah 33:10
Now will I rise, saith the Lord,.... At the last extremity, when things are come to a crisis; his interest at the lowest, and the kingdom of antichrist at its highest pitch; the whore of Rome
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 33:10
Now will I rise, saith the LORD; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself. Now will I rise, saith the Lord. The sight of His people's misery arouses Yahweh. He has let the enemy go far enough. I - emphatic.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Isaiah 33:10
In this extremity, I will appear on the behalf of my people and land.
Trapp's Commentary on Isaiah 33:10
Isaiah 33:10 Now will I rise, saith the LORD; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself.Ver. 10. Now will I rise, saith the Lord, now.] Now, now, now. Emphasin habet ingeminatio vocis "nunc." This "now," thrice repeated, importeth both the opportunity of time and God’ s readiness to relieve. Cum duplicantur lateres, venit Moses, When things are at worst, they will mend, we say. Now will I lift up myself.] Who have hitherto been held an underling, and inferior to the enemy.
Ellicott's Commentary on Isaiah 33:10
(10) Now will I rise . . .—We note the emphatic iteration of the adverb of time. Man’s necessity was, as ever, to be God’s opportunity. He had been, as it were, waiting for this crisis, and would at once arise in His might.
