Isaiah 33:13-24 - Exposition

REFLECTIONS ON ASSYRIA 'S OVERTHROW VIEWED AS ACCOMPLISHED . The prophet's first thought is , how wonderfully the overthrow has manifested the might of God ( Isaiah 33:13 ). Next, how it must thrill with fear the hearts of the wicked among his people ( Isaiah 33:14 ). Thirdly, how the righteous are by it placed in security, and can look back with joy to their escape, and can with confidence look forward to a future of happiness and tranquil lily ( Isaiah 33:15-24 ). Messianic ideas intermingle with these latter thoughts ( Isaiah 33:17 , Isaiah 33:23 ), the image of a happy, tranquil Judah melting into that of Messiah's glorious kingdom.
