The Pulpit Commentary on Isaiah 33:13-24

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

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.
