Isaías 10

Isaías 10

Spurgeon: Jehovah, the self existent and omnipotent, cares not for the opposition of dying men, however many or mighty they may be. "Loud the stormy billows spoke, Loud the billows raised their cry; Fierce the stormy billows broke, Sounding to the echoing sky. Strong the breakers tossing high, Stronger is Jehovah's might. True thy words; and sanctity Well becomes thy temple bright." Yea, than the mighty waves of the sea. When the storm raises Atlantic billows, and drives them on with terrific force, the Lord is still able to restrain them, and so also when impious men are haughty and full of rage the Lord is able to subdue them and overrule their malice. Kings or mobs, emperors or savages, all are in the Lord's hands, and he can forbid their touching a hair of the heads of his saints. Addiyr - 25v in the NAS - Ex 15:10; Jdg 5:13, 25; 1 Sam 4:8; 2Chr 23:20; Neh 3:5; 10:29; Ps 8:1, 9; 16:3; 76:4; 93:4; 136:18; Isa 10:34; 33:21; Jer 14:3; 25:34ff; 30:21; Ezek 17:23; 32:18; Nah 2:5; 3:18; Zech 11:2 Mighty One - This phrase is used 14x in 13v in the OT - Ge 10:8 49:24 Josh 22:22 1Chr 1:10 Job 34:17 Ps 45:3 50:1 132:2 132:5 Isa 1:24 10:34 49:26 60:16 A SHADOW OF THINGS TO COME? These last passages describe the miraculous destruction of the Assyrian army as it lay camped at the very doors of Jerusalem and given the fact that the next section describes the Millennial reign of Christ, it is reasonable to consider that this abrupt destruction of the Assyrian army is a shadow or picture of the abrupt destruction of the Army of the Antichrist ("the Assyrian" in Micah 5,6 is interpreted by some commentators as the Antichrist) at the sudden return of the LORD of the Armies, the Lord Jesus Christ, the Victorious Warrior! John records this great scene which will bring an end to this present age (and the times of the Gentiles)... Revelation 19:11 And I saw heaven opened; and behold, a white horse, and He who sat upon it is called Faithful and True; and in righteousness He judges and wages war. 12 And His eyes are a flame of fire, and upon His head are many diadems; and He has a name written upon Him which no one knows except Himself. 13 And He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood; and His name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, were following Him on white horses. 15 And from His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it He may smite the nations; and He will rule them with a rod of iron; and He treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty. 16 And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written, "KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS." 17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried out with a loud voice, saying to all the birds which fly in midheaven, "Come, assemble for the great supper of God; 18 in order that you may eat the flesh of kings and the flesh of commanders and the flesh of mighty men and the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them and the flesh of all men, both free men and slaves, and small and great." 19 And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies, assembled to make war against Him who sat upon the horse, and against His army. 20 And the beast was seized, and with him the false prophet who performed the signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image; these two were thrown alive into the lake of fire which burns with brimstone. 21 And the rest were killed with the sword which came from the mouth of Him who sat upon the horse, and all the birds were filled with their flesh.
