The Apostle Paul frequently uses Old Testament references to validate his teachings, showing continuity between the Jewish Scriptures and the message of Christ. The use of "once more" indicates that Paul is reiterating a point he has made before, emphasizing the fulfillment of prophecy in Jesus Christ. Isaiah, a major prophet, is often cited in the New Testament, underscoring the messianic expectations that are fulfilled in Jesus.The root of Jesse The "root of Jesse" refers to the lineage of King David, as Jesse was David's father. In the Hebrew context, a "root" signifies origin or source, indicating that the Messiah would come from the Davidic line. This is a direct reference to <a href="/isaiah/11-10.htm">Isaiah 11:10</a>, where the Messiah is prophesied to arise from Jesse's line. Theologically, this emphasizes Jesus' rightful claim to the throne of David, fulfilling God's covenant promises to Israel.will appear The phrase "will appear" suggests a future manifestation, pointing to the coming of the Messiah. In the Greek, the word used can imply both a physical appearance and a revelation of character or purpose. This highlights the anticipation of the Messiah's arrival, which was a central hope for the Jewish people and is now realized in Jesus Christ.One who will arise This phrase indicates a figure of authority and leadership. The Greek term for "arise" can also mean to stand up or to be established, suggesting the Messiah's role as a leader and ruler. This is not just a physical rising but a spiritual and authoritative establishment of His kingdom.to rule over the Gentiles The inclusion of the Gentiles in this prophecy is significant. Historically, the Jewish expectation of the Messiah was often centered on the restoration of Israel. However, this prophecy expands the Messiah's rule to include all nations, fulfilling God's promise to Abraham that all nations would be blessed through his seed (<a href="/genesis/12-3.htm">Genesis 12:3</a>). This universal scope of Christ's reign is a cornerstone of Paul's message, emphasizing the inclusivity of the Gospel.in Him the Gentiles will put their hope The phrase "in Him" underscores the centrality of Christ as the object of faith and hope. The Greek word for "hope" conveys a confident expectation, not a wishful thinking. This hope is not just for salvation but for the fulfillment of God's promises. The Gentiles, who were once outside the covenant, are now included in the hope of redemption through Jesus Christ. This reflects the transformative power of the Gospel, breaking down barriers and uniting all people under Christ's lordship.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/romans/15.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(12) And again, Esaias saith.--St. Paul still adheres to the LXX., which here diverges more widely from the Hebrew. The sense of this is rightly given by the Authorised version of <a href="/isaiah/11-10.htm" title="And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.">Isaiah 11:10</a>--"In that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek." In either case the passage is Messianic.A root of Jesse.--Strictly, the root, or, root-shoot of Jesse, as in <a href="/proverbs/5-5.htm" title="Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.">Proverbs 5:5</a>--i.e., the expected descendant of Jesse's line, which, to bring out its intimate connection with the founder of the line, and to distinguish it from all other collateral branches, is identified with the very root, or first shooTrust.--The same word as "hope" in the next verse, the introduction of which was probably suggested, through the association of ideas, by the concluding words of the LXX. quotation--"On Him shall the Gentiles place their hopes.
