Isaiah 66:16

_ _ Rather, “With fire will Jehovah judge, and with His sword (He will judge) all flesh.” The parallelism and collocation of the Hebrew words favor this (Isaiah 65:12).

_ _ all flesh — that is, all who are the objects of His wrath. The godly shall be hidden by the Lord in a place of safety away from the scene of judgment (Isaiah 26:20, Isaiah 26:21; Psalms 31:20; 1 Thessalonians 4:16, 1 Thessalonians 4:17).

See commentary on Isaiah 66:15-24.

Isaiah 66:16

Plead — God at first pleads with sinners by words, but if he cannot so prevail, he will plead with them in a way by which he will overcome; by fire, pestilence and blood. All flesh — Thus he threatens to do with all the wicked Jews. The slain — Those whom God should cause to be slain.
