Isaiah 5:1
1 Now will I sing [shiyr] to my wellbeloved [yadiyd]
a song [shiyr] of my beloved [dowd] touching his vineyard. [kerem] My wellbeloved [yadiyd]
hath a vineyard [kerem] in a very fruitful [ben] [shemen] hill: [qeren] KJV-Interlinear
1 Let
me sing now for my well-beloved A song of my beloved concerning His vineyard.
My well-beloved had a vineyard on a fertile hill. NASB
This chapter begins with
an expression of love and provision, then changes to a rebuke for sins, and
then ends with the warning of punishment.
The song for the beloved,
is a song for the second person of the trinity, the savior who is Jesus Christ.
The vineyard, is often
used to describe the nation of Israel, or the collective group of believers
that belong to God.
The fruitful vineyard
symbolizes the nation in potential, as believers who have advanced to spiritual
maturity are the ones who have spiritual production. There is no other production from spiritually
negative believers, and certainly not from unbelievers.
And the fruitful hill is
a reference to the nation on the whole.
It is elevated above all others nations, spiritually speaking and stands
higher than all who are outside of the nation.
Therefore, God sings a
song of deep tender and affectionate love.
That song is doctrine. The gospel
to bring in believers, and the details of doctrine to help them grow to their
full potential and completion.
This song is not sung to
any outside of the nation, other than the gospel, and is typically directed to
those who are already inside of the nation, which is a reference to believers
only.
The song, when heard and
received, and retained, converts an otherwise unproductive vineyard, into a
highly productive vineyard. In other
words, unproductive believers who lack doctrine, into productive believers once
they learn and retain and use doctrine.
Doctrine is that
song. The Lord is the beloved, as is His
word, which is doctrine. And doctrine
which waters the vineyard, believers, then the vineyard becomes productive.
