The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Isaiah 14:23-32

Prophecies Against Assyria and Philistia v. 24. The Lord of hosts, the Commander of all the forces of heaven, hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, as He had disposed or planned, so shall it come to pass, this prophecy preceding that against Babylon in point of human time; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand, this prophecy being practically a continuation of 10:34; v. 25. that I will break the Assyrian in My land, overthrowing his power within the boundaries of Judah, and... read more

A prophecy against Assyria could not be omitted. It was necessary as a background to the prophecies that follow. But it needed only to be a short one. For the Prophet is... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 14:24-32

In this section we have three prophecies: concerning Assyria ( Isa 14:24-27 ), concerning Philistia ( Isa 14:28-32 ), and the commencement of one concerning Moab (15). This fragment concerning Assyria consists of the reaffirmation of Jehovah's intention to break its power. The oath of Jehovah is declared, and its irrevocable certainty affirmed. The fragment concerning Philistia is of the nature of a warning spoken to her. Although she oppresses the people of God, she is herself in peril. She... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 14:24-27

Judgment on Assyria (Isaiah 14:24-27 ). But the reader is asking, what of Assyria? Thus Assyria is dealt with briefly and for the last time judgmentwise in this section. To Isaiah it is of no more consequence. But the picture of the destruction of Babylon reminds him that Assyria must also be destroyed. Its days are numbered (even though its empire would last for another hundred years) until it is ready to worship Yahweh (Isaiah 19:23-24). Analysis of Isaiah 14:24-27. a Yahweh of hosts has... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 14:24-27

Isaiah 14:24-Daniel : . The Destruction of Assyria.— This is usually regarded as a genuine fragment by Isaiah, asserting, as in Isaiah 10:5-Nahum :, the approaching destruction of Assyria in Palestine, and uttered probably not long before Sennacherib’ s invasion in 701. Some take it to be post-exilic, mainly on the ground that, just as in the later eschatology, the judgment is to be inflicted on all the nations, while Isaiah limits his view to a much narrower horizon. It is also said to be... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 14:26

Upon the whole earth; upon this vast empire, now in the hands of the Assyrians, and shortly to come into the hands of the Babylonians. The whole earth is put synecdochically for a great part of it. The hand; the providence of God executing his purpose. read more

DISCOURSE: 883IMMUTABILITY OF GOD’S COUNSELSIsaiah 14:27. The Lord of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?IT is common with the Lord, when predicting distant events, to confirm men in the expectation of them by the accomplishment of something near at hand. Thus when God foretold the incarnation of his own Son by the Prophet Isaiah, he foretold also the speedy destruction of the ten tribes, that the fulfilment of the one might... read more

Scofield's Reference Notes - Isaiah 14:26

whole earth This universality is significant and marks the whole passage as referring, not merely to a near judgment upon Assyria, but in a yet larger sense to the final crash of the present world-system at the end of the age. (See "Times of the Gentiles," Luke 21:24; Revelation 16:14; Daniel 2:44; Daniel 2:45 "Armageddon," ; Revelation 16:14; Revelation 19:17. No other such universal catastrophe on the nations is known to Scripture. read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 14:1-32

Isaiah 14:1 . And set them in their own land. This prediction is so correct, as appears from the books of Nehemiah and Ezra, that no man can doubt the truth of prophecy; and its literal accomplishment demonstrates the truth of divine revelation. Isaiah 14:6 . He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke. Nebuchadnezzar began his career by joining the Medes to overthrow Nineveh. In his twelfth year he destroyed Ecbatana, the capital of the Medes. After that he turned his arms... read more
