Verses 24-27
The Destruction of the Power of Assyria
A short section belonging to the same period as Isaiah 10:5 to Isaiah 12:6 (cp. Isaiah 14:25 with Isaiah 10:27); the subject is the overthrow of the Assyrian invader, and the prophecy was literally fulfilled in the destruction of Sennacherib’s army.
24-27. It is Jehovah’s sworn and unalterable purpose to destroy the Assyrian power, that his burdensome rule over Judah and the nations may cease.
25. Upon my mountains] i.e. the mountains of Judah (Isaiah 49:11; Isaiah 65:9). 26. All the nations] Jehovah’s merciful purpose embraces not only His own people, but the nations generally.
