Charles Spurgeon Commentary Isaiah 54:5

"For thy Maker is thy husband; Jehovah of hosts is his name: and the Holy One of Israel is thy Redeemer; the God of the whole earth shall he be called." — Isaiah 54:5 (ASV)

For thy maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.

Oh, how blessed it is that Jehovah, Israel's God, the Lord of hosts, is the God of the whole earth; so that we poor Gentiles may come and hide under the shadow of his wings; and what a joy it is to all believers that this great God has united us in the sacred bonds of marriage with himself! Thy Maker is thine Husband. Oh, what bountiful provision will such a Husband make for us! How well will he comfort us! How abundantly will he bless us! So let our hearts be glad in him.

For thy maker is thine husband;

Bound to you by the dearest, closest, and most enduring ties.

For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.

Oh, what a blessing that is! This is a wide-spread mercy: The God of the whole earth shall he be called. My soul, come and hide beneath the shadow of these earth-covering wings, for there is room for you beneath their welcome shelter; and, once there, you shall not be banished from that sacred spot, for it is written, Him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. Thy Maker is thine husband, united to you in eternal wedlock; therefore, be of good comfort.

For thy Maker is thine husband; –

Rejoice, O Church of God, that you have such a husband!

Rejoice, every member of the Church of God, that you have such a husband to help you! Thy Maker is thine husband; –

The LORD of hosts is his name; and your Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.

Well might Paul write, in the Epistle to the Romans, Is he the God of the Jews only? Is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also; and Isaiah here says, inspired by the same Spirit who taught Paul what to write, The God of the whole earth shall he be called.
