It is a common prophetic introduction, underscoring that the words are not from the prophet himself but from God. This establishes the importance and reliability of the prophecy, as seen throughout the Old Testament in books like Jeremiah and Ezekiel.I will extend peace to her like a river: The imagery of peace flowing like a river suggests abundance, continuity, and life-giving sustenance. Rivers in the ancient Near East were vital for survival, symbolizing prosperity and divine blessing. This promise of peace can be connected to the Messianic hope found in <a href="/isaiah/9-6.htm">Isaiah 9:6</a>, where the Messiah is called the "Prince of Peace."and the wealth of nations like a flowing stream: This phrase indicates a future time of prosperity and blessing for Jerusalem, where the wealth of the Gentiles will come to her. Historically, this reflects the post-exilic hope of restoration and the eschatological vision of nations bringing their riches to Zion, as seen in <a href="/isaiah/60-5.htm">Isaiah 60:5</a>. It also foreshadows the inclusion of Gentiles in the New Covenant, as seen in the New Testament.you will nurse and be carried on her arm: The nurturing imagery here reflects God's care and provision for His people, akin to a mother caring for her child. This can be seen as a type of Christ, who offers spiritual nourishment and support to believers. The nurturing aspect is echoed in the New Testament, where Jesus speaks of gathering His people like a hen gathers her chicks (<a href="/matthew/23-37.htm">Matthew 23:37</a>).and bounced upon her knees: This phrase continues the maternal imagery, suggesting joy, comfort, and intimacy. It reflects the deep relationship between God and His people, akin to a parent delighting in their child. This intimate care is a recurring theme in Scripture, highlighting God's love and compassion, as seen in passages like <a href="/psalms/103-13.htm">Psalm 103:13</a>.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a> The covenant God of Israel, who speaks through the prophet Isaiah, promising peace and prosperity. 2. <a href="/topical/j/jerusalem.htm">Jerusalem (implied)</a> The city symbolizing God's people, to whom peace and wealth will be extended. 3. <a href="/topical/n/nations.htm">Nations (Gentiles)</a> Representing the wealth and resources that will flow into Jerusalem, signifying inclusion and blessing. 4. <a href="/topical/i/isaiah.htm">Isaiah</a> The prophet through whom God delivers this message of hope and restoration. 5. <a href="/topical/p/peace_and_wealth.htm">Peace and Wealth</a> Symbolic of God's blessings and the restoration of His people.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/g/god's_promise_of_peace.htm">God's Promise of Peace</a> God's peace is abundant and continuous, like a river.

The outward figure is now presented as in an inverted form, to express a new spiritual fact. The children of Zion will find a maternal tenderness and care at the hands of the heathen nations, who are to be as their "nursing mothers." (Comp. 60:16.)<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/isaiah/66.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 12. - I will extend peace to her like a river; literally, I will direct peace to her, like a river. The waters of streams are in the East directed hither and thither by the agriculturist. God would have given his people "peace, as a river," long previously, had they permitted him (<a href="/isaiah/48-18.htm">Isaiah 48:18</a>). And the glory of the Gentiles (comp. <a href="/isaiah/60-5.htm">Isaiah 60:5, 11</a>; <a href="/isaiah/61-6.htm">Isaiah 61:6</a>, etc.). Like a flowing stream; literally, as an overflowing torrent. There is perhaps a contrast intended between the former and the latter times. In the former times Assyria had swept over Israel like an overwhelming flood to destroy her (<a href="/isaiah/8-7.htm">Isaiah 8:7, 8</a>); now the glory of the whole Gentile world should similarly overflow and overwhelm, but only to enrich and exalt. Ye shall be borne upon her sides (see the comment on Isaiah 9:4). It is Jerusalem, and not the Gentile world (Delitzsch, Cheyne), that will thus care for and caress her children. The continuance of the metaphor from ver. 11 is marked by the repetition of the verb, "ye shall suck." <a href="/commentaries/isaiah/66-12.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>For כִּֽי־ (kî-) Conjunction <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3588.htm">Strong's 3588: </a> A relative conjunction this is what כֹ֣ה ׀ (ḵōh) Adverb <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3541.htm">Strong's 3541: </a> Like this, thus, here, now the LORD יְהוָ֗ה (Yah·weh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3068.htm">Strong's 3068: </a> LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel says: אָמַ֣ר (’ā·mar) Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_559.htm">Strong's 559: </a> To utter, say I will extend נֹטֶֽה־ (nō·ṭeh-) Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5186.htm">Strong's 5186: </a> To stretch out, spread out, extend, incline, bend peace שָׁל֜וֹם (šā·lō·wm) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7965.htm">Strong's 7965: </a> Safe, well, happy, friendly, welfare, health, prosperity, peace to her אֵ֠לֶיהָ (’ê·le·hā) Preposition | third person feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_413.htm">Strong's 413: </a> Near, with, among, to like a river, כְּנָהָ֨ר (kə·nā·hār) Preposition-k | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5104.htm">Strong's 5104: </a> A stream, prosperity and the wealth כְּב֥וֹד (kə·ḇō·wḏ) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3519.htm">Strong's 3519: </a> Weight, splendor, copiousness of nations גּוֹיִ֖ם (gō·w·yim) Noun - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1471.htm">Strong's 1471: </a> A foreign nation, a Gentile, a troop of animals, a flight of locusts like a flowing שׁוֹטֵ֛ף (šō·w·ṭêp̄) Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7857.htm">Strong's 7857: </a> To gush, to inundate, cleanse, to gallop, conquer stream;
