Isaiah 30:27-33 - Exposition

A PROPHECY OF ASSYRIA 'S DESTRUCTION . Mr. Chcyne regards this passage as "a symbolic description of the judgment introduced by a theophany." But is it not rather a poetical description of God's judgment on Assyria, which may be, probably is, a type of his final judgment upon an iniquitous world? The mention of Assyria in Isaiah 30:31 seems to be decisive in favor of the prophecy being (primarily) of special application to the circumstances of the time.
