Isaiah 25:2
_ _ a city ... heap — Babylon, type of the seat of Antichrist, to be destroyed in the last days (compare Jeremiah 51:37, with Revelation 18:1-24, followed, as here, by the song of the saints’ thanksgiving in Revelation 19:1-21). “Heaps” is a graphic picture of Babylon and Nineveh as they now are.
_ _ palace — Babylon regarded, on account of its splendor, as a vast palace. But Maurer translates, “a citadel.”
_ _ of strangers — foreigners, whose capital pre-eminently Babylon was, the metropolis of the pagan world. “Aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, strangers from the covenants of promise” (Isaiah 29:5; Ephesians 2:12; see in contrast, Joel 3:17).
_ _ never be built — (Isaiah 13:19, Isaiah 13:20, etc.). |
Isaiah 25:2
A city — Which is put for cities: or of enemies of God and his people. And under the name cities he comprehends their countries and kingdoms. Strangers — The royal cities, in which were the palaces of strangers, of Gentiles. No city — Their cities and palaces have been or shall be utterly and irrecoverably destroyed. |
Isaiah 25:2
For thou hast made of a (b) city an heap; [of] a fortified city a ruin: a palace (c) of foreigners to be no city; it shall never be built.
(b) Not only of Jerusalem, but also of these other cities which have been your enemies.
(c) That is, a place where all vagabonds may live without danger and as it were at ease as in a palace. |
