Verse Meaning

Physical sickness and spiritual sin will be totally absent from eschatological Zion (cf. Psalm 103:3). This description pictures the absence of all disabilities. Iniquities will also be forgiven (cf. Leviticus 16:21-22). The basis for this forgiveness is the sacrifice of Christ (cf. Isaiah 53:4; Hebrews 10:17-18).

This is one of the grand pictures of life during the coming reign of Jesus Christ on earth. That kingdom will begin following His second coming, continue for1 ,000 years, and then extend forever into eternity (cf. Revelation 19-22).

Context Summary

Isaiah 33:13-24 - The Reward Of The Righteous

The devouring fire and everlasting burnings of Isaiah 33:14 are clearly the emblems of the divine presence. The righteous dwell in God as the bush which was baptized in the Shekinah-glory and was not consumed. The fire of His holy presence makes them holy at the same time that it protects them from their enemies. Compare with Psalms 15:1-5. They are characterized by their walk, speech, the closed fist, the stopped ears, and the shut eyes. They dwell in heights which are inaccessible to the foe, and no oppressor can cut off their supplies of hidden manna or water of life. Hezekiah, Isaiah predicts in Isaiah 33:17, would soon put off his sackcloth, and the citizens would cease to be penned up in a beleaguered city. They should recall the terror of that hour as a bad dream, recalled to be dismissed and forgotten. Zion had no river, but God would be all that a river was to other cities, without the disadvantages of navigable water which might serve for the passage of a hostile fleet. Be sure to make God your judge, lawgiver, and king. Then, notwithstanding that you limp in weakness, you shall gather your share in the great spoils of victory. [source]
