The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 14:14

I will be like the Most High (comp. Isaiah 47:8 ). It is a mistake to say that "the Assyrians gave the name of God to their monarchs" (Kay), or, at any rate, there is no evidence that they did. Nor does any king, either Assyrian or Babylonian, ever assume a Divine title. There is a marked difference in this respect between the Egyptian and the Assyro-Babylonian religions. Probably Isaiah only means that Babylonian monarchs thought of themselves as gods, worked their own wills, were... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 14:13

For thou hast said in thine heart - It was thy purpose or design.I will ascend into heaven - Nothing could more strikingly show the arrogance of the monarch of Babylon than this impious design. The meaning is, that he intended to set himself up as supreme; he designed that all should pay homage to him; be did not intend to acknowledge the authority of God. It is not to be understood literally; but it means that he intended “not” to acknowledge any superior either in heaven or earth, but... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 14:14

I will be like the Most High - There is a remarkable resemblance between this language and that used in 2 Thessalonians 2:4, in regard to antichrist: ‘He, as God, sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.’ And this similarity is the more remarkable, because antichrist is represented, in Revelation 17:4-5, as seated in babylon - the spiritual seat of arrogance, oppression, and pride. Probably Paul had the passage in Isaiah in his eye when he penned the description of... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 14:12-14

Isaiah 14:12-14. How art thou fallen from heaven From the height of thy glory; O Lucifer Lucifer is properly a bright star, that ushers in the morning; but is here metaphorically taken for the mighty king of Babylon, who outshone all the kings of the earth by his great splendour. Son of the morning The title of son is given in Scripture, not only to a person or thing begotten or produced by another, but also to any thing which is related to it, in which sense we read of the son of a... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 14:1-23

13:1-23:18 MESSAGES FOR VARIOUS NATIONSAll the nations are under the rule of God, who controls their rise to power and their final destruction according to his purposes. This is the truth that the prophet teaches in the collection of prophecies against various nations in Chapters 13 to 23. The first message is for Babylon, which in Isaiah’s day had not yet risen to a position of international power. The fall of Babylon that is pictured in these chapters would not take place for more than one... read more

E.W. Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - Isaiah 14:13

For = And. hast said = saidst. ascend = mount up. heaven = the heavens. mount of the congregation. Not Zion, but the Divine assembly of judgment. Compare Psalms 75:2 ; Psalms 82:1 .Ezekiel 28:12-14 . sides = recesses. Same word as in Isaiah 14:16 ; Isaiah 37:24 , and 1 Samuel 24:3 .Ezekiel 32:23 . the north. This helps us to localize the dwelling place of God. No "Semitic conception", but Divine revelation of Him Who knows what Satan "said in his heart". Compare Psalms 75:6 . Job 26:7 . read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 14:13

13. above . . . God—In :-, "stars" express earthly potentates. "The stars" are often also used to express heavenly principalities (Job 38:7). mount of the congregation—the place of solemn meeting between God and His people in the temple at Jerusalem. In Daniel 11:37; 2 Thessalonians 2:4, this is attributed to Antichrist. sides of the north—namely, the sides of Mount Moriah on which the temple was built; north of Mount Zion (Psalms 48:2). However, the parallelism supports the notion that the... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 14:14

14. clouds—rather, "the cloud," singular. Perhaps there is a reference to the cloud, the symbol of the divine presence (Isaiah 4:5; Exodus 13:21). So this tallies with 2 Thessalonians 2:4, "above all that is called God"; as here "above . . . the cloud"; and as the Shekinah-cloud was connected with the temple, there follows, "he as God sitteth in the temple of God," answering to "I will be like the Most High" here. Moreover, Revelation 17:4; Revelation 17:5, represents Antichrist as seated in... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 14:1-27

The first oracle against Babylon 13:1-14:27The reader would expect that Isaiah would inveigh against Assyria, since it was the most threatening enemy in his day, and since he referred to it many times in earlier chapters. However, he did not mention Assyria in this section but Babylon, an empire that came into its own about a century after Isaiah’s time. Babylon was a symbol of self-exalting pride, and its glory, dating back to the tower of Babel (cf. Isaiah 13:5; Isaiah 13:10-11). Thus what he... read more
