Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 13:17-22

A Vivid Picture of Babylon’s Future And Its End (Isaiah 13:17-22 ). Having depicted the destruction of Babylon in apocalyptic terms Isaiah brings it down to earth. He partly does it in terms of the Medes. The Medes participated in a number of invasions of Babylon from Sargon II onwards and were very much feared. They founded their own empire and up to around the time of Cyrus II (whose father was Persian and whose mother was Medan) were the senior partners of the Medo-Persian alliance. While... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 13:1-22

Isaiah 13:1 to Isaiah 14:23 . The Utter Ruin of Babylon and Triumphal Ode over her Monarch’ s Death.— Historical conditions are here presupposed entirely different from those of Isaiah’ s time. The subject of Isaiah 13 is the overthrow of Babylon by the Medes a century and a half after his age. Since the downfall is said to lie in the near future, the prophecy must have been written very near the close of the Exile. The description of Babylon is also not true to the situation of Isaiah’ s... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 13:19

The glory of kingdoms; which once was the most noble and excellent of all the kingdoms then in being, and Was more glorious than the succeeding empires, whence it was represented by the head of gold, Daniel 2:32. The beauty of the Chaldees’ excellency; the famous and beautiful seat of the Chaldean monarchy. Shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah; shall be totally and irrecoverably destroyed, as is more fully expressed in the following verses; which yet was not done immediately upon... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 13:20

It shall never be inhabited, after the destruction threatened shall be fully accomplished. Neither shall the Arabian, who dwelt in tents, and wandered from place, where they could find pasture; but shall avoid this place, either because the land, once noted for great fruitfulness, is now become barren; or because the land is accursed by God, and abhorred by all men; or for fear of the wild beasts, as it follows. read more

Joseph Exell

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 13:19

SODOM AND GOMORRAHIsaiah 13:19. And Babylon, the glory of the kingdoms, &c.The anticipated destruction of Babylon is here compared to that of Sodom and Gomorrah, because of its completeness, and because of the hopelessness of any return of that city to its former glory (Isaiah 13:20-22). The fate of Sodom and Gomorrah should be pondered, not merely because it is here used as a symbol of the fate of Babylon, but also because of the solemn lessons it affords in relation to sin. That memorable... read more

C.I. Scofield

Scofield's Reference Notes - Isaiah 13:19

And Babylon Verses 12-16 look forward to the apocalyptic judgments (Re 6.-13.). Verses 17-22 have a near and far view. They predict the destruction of the literal Babylon then existing; with the further statement that, once destroyed, Babylon should never be rebuilt (cf) Jeremiah 51:61-64. All of this has been literally fulfilled. But the place of this prediction in a great prophetic strain looks forward to the destruction of both politico-Babylon and ecclesio- Babylon in the time of the Beast... read more

Chuck Smith

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Isaiah 13:1-22

Chapter 13Now as we move into chapter 13 and he speaks of the burden of Babylon which Isaiah saw, you remember that we mentioned when we started the prophecy of Isaiah that in many of the prophecies, there was what we called the near fulfillment and the far fulfillment. The prophecies were sort of like a two-edged sword in that they had an immediate connotation, but oftentimes there was also a future connotation. So in the seventh chapter when he said, "Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 13:1-22

In the thirteen chapters which follow, the prophet, like a watchman, raises his voice, and denounces woes against all the surrounding nations, and finally against his own country. Isaiah 13:1 . The burden of Babylon. The LXX merely read ode or song. Isaiah puts his name to it, being fully assured of its truth. The burden of these terrific predictions was laid upon him, he must utter them in the sublimest strains of eloquence. Isaiah 13:2 . Lift ye up a banner upon the high mountain. ... read more

Isaiah 13:19-22Babylon . . . shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and GomorrahThe re-entries of natureAll this we may say is historical and local.On the other hand, all this is moral and suggestive. This process may take place in the Babylon of the mind. The greatest mind is only safe whilst it worships. The most magnificent intellectual temple is only secure from the judgment and whirlwind of heaven in proportion as its altar is defended from the approach of every unworthy suppliant. If we... read more

Isa 13:19 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees’ excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. Ver. 19. And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms. ] Those four great monarchies of the world had their times and their turns, their rise and their ruin. The Roman empire can scarce stand on its feet of clay; and by the death of the recent emperor, no King of Romans being nominated, is like to suffer great concussions. Shall be as when God overthrew Sodom. ] The... read more
