Isaiah 10:27 (KJV) Our Liberator

Isaiah 10:27 (KJV)
And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.

Albert Barnes may be one of the most honest of all the commentaries when he writes concerning this verse, “I confess that none of these explanations seem to me to be satisfactory, and that I do not know what is the meaning of the expression.”

Such is the dilemma of the man with too many teachers; he comes to believe there is nothing we can know. At the risk of sounding as if I despise scholarship[1], I would remind my reader that the only capable teacher of the Word of God is the Holy Spirit of God. If we will rely upon Him, a satisfactory explanation of the Word of God is always possible. There are many passages of the Bible that we will not fully comprehend until we reach heaven, perhaps most of the Bible. But the Spirit of God will lead the dependent soul into truth that is satisfactory and enriching.

The believer’s great need in this life is liberty:

• Freedom from the bondage of sin
• Freedom to pursue Spiritual growth
• Freedom to advance in his or her relationship with Christ

We are born into this world with a yoke of bondage to sin, unrighteousness and worldliness. Even when we try to do right it is but filthy rags in the sight of God. We will not experience liberty without a liberator. The book of Isaiah is, at its core, a book about that Liberator.

• He is prophesied of in Isaiah 7:14 and 9:6
• Jesus preached this book was about Him when He opened it to Isaiah 61:1 and spoke of Himself
• Philip assured the Eunuch that Isaiah 53:7-8 was speaking of Christ

The One who destroys the yoke is Jesus Christ, the anointed, the Messiah of God.
