Isaiah
Chapter
14
{Verses
1-11: Judgment of the Chaldean Empire}
1
For Jehovah/God will have mercy on Jacob,
and
will Yet choose Israel,
and
set them in their own land.
And
the strangers shall be joined with them,
and
they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.
2
And the people shall take them,
and
bring them to their place.
And
the house of Israel
shall
possess them in the land of the Jehovah/God
for
servants and handmaids.
And
they shall take them captives,
whose
captives they were;
and
they shall rule over their oppressors.
3
And it shall come to pass in the day
that
the Jehovah/God shall give you rest from your sorrow,
and
from your fear,
and
from the hard bondage wherein you were made to serve, 4
that
you shall take up this proverb
against
the king of Babylon, and say,
"How
has the oppressor ceased!
The golden city ceased!"
5
The Jehovah/God has broken the staff of the wicked,
and
the scepter of the rulers.
6
He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke,
He
who ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted,
and
none hindered.
7 The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet.
They break forth into singing.
8
Yes, the fir trees rejoice at you,
and
the cedars of Lebanon, saying,
"Since
you are laid down,
no
feller is come up against us."
9 Hell from beneath is moved for you to meet you at your coming.
It
stirs up the dead for you,
even
all the chief ones of the earth.
It has raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations.
10
All they shall speak and say unto you,
"Are
you also become weak as we?
Are you become like unto us?
11
Your pomp is brought down to the grave,
and
the noise of your viols.
The worm is spread under you, and the worms cover you.
{Verses
12-17: Judgment of Satan in Logical Order (Millennial Fall Presented
first) The Three Falls of Satan}
{Isaiah
Chapter 14:12 -14 Lucifer and the first sin - that of arrogance}
12~~
How you {Satan} have fallen from heaven,
O
'shining one'/'son of the morning'
{heylel - KJV translates 'Lucifer' - literally is 'light bearer' - refers
to his angelic body which apparently is made of light},
'son
of the dawn' {shachar}!
You have been cut down to the earth!
You who have weaken the nations!
{Note: Ezekiel 28 gives the falls of Satan in chronological order. Here we have the falls of Satan in logical order - starting with his fall to earth in the middle of the Tribulation (per Revelation).}
{Note: In Genesis 3:1, RBT says the word `aruwm also means 'luminous' so the serpent was like a beautiful animal of light. Maybe the woman had it as a pet and Satan used it since it was also a light bearer.}
{Verses
13-14: Arrogant 5 "I will's" of Satan - First Known
Creature Sin}
13a~~For
you {Satan} thought/said
in
your 'right lobe'/heart,
"I
will ascend to heaven {3rd heaven}.
{1st lust - to rule over God}
13b~~I
will raise my throne
above
the stars {angelic creatures}
of
God.
{2nd lust - to rule over Angels}
13c~~I
will sit enthroned
upon
the 'mount of the assembly/congregation',
in
the uttermost extremity of the north.
{3rd lust - to rule over mankind -Apparently this describes the great
Throne Room in heaven - Satan in his arrogant thinking wants to
be worshiped by the other angelic creatures - RBT also says this
may be Satan's desire to rule over humans that God would later
create (having access to heaven he could have had access to
the plan of God)}
14a~~I
will ascend above the heights of the clouds.
{4th lust - ambition to function as God}
14b~~I will be like the Most High {'Elyown}."
[Note: It is my contention that Satan does not believe in a "One Invisible God". He believes the Theocracy established in heaven was set up by creatures to rule the universe. The "Most High" is the highest position in the Theocracy. "God" declares his will through this "most high" similar to the High Priest in the Levitical Priesthood that was set up on Earth to demonstrate through example what it was like in heaven. The Korah revolution was a re-enactment of Satan's revolt against the Most High (Numbers 16:1-35). It will again be repeated in the Tribulation by the Man of Lawlessness (II Thessalonians 2:3-4)]
15~~Nevertheless,
you {Satan}
shall
receive casting down
{yarad - Hophal stem - passive causative - he will not go of
his own free will}
to
Sheol
{KJV translates 'hell'},
to
the recesses of the pit
{the Abyss - see Revelation Chapter 20:1-3}.
16-17~~Those
who see you {Satan}
shall
'receive staring/gawking' {shagach},
and
consider you, saying,
"Is
this the man who made the earth to tremble,
that
did shake kingdoms . . . 17~~
who
made the world as a desert/wilderness,
and
destroyed the cities thereof . . .
who
opened not the house of his prisoners?"
{Satan is unable to release the fallen angels of Genesis 6 that
God still has imprisoned in Tartarus today}
{Verses
18-24: Judgment of the Chaldean Empire}
18~~All
the kings of the nations . . .
even
all of them . . .
lie
in glory,
every
one in his own 'dwelling place' {bayith}.
{all the kings built pyramids or other great burial places -
they all dreamed of their remains being in a glorious resting place}
19~~But
you
{RBT says Belshazzar (see Daniel 5:30) is the one in view now}
are
cast out of your grave
like
an abominable branch,
and
as the clothes/raiment of those who are slain . . .
thrust
through with a sword . . .
{the clothes of soldiers thrust with a sword are usually pretty
ruined}
who
go down to the stones of the pit . . .
as
a carcass trodden under feet.
{Note: RBT says Belshazzar desired to be buried in glory like all great kings. Instead, he was run through by a sword and his only grave was under the dust of the feet of the conquering army.}
20~~You
{Belshazzar}
shall
not be joined with them in burial . . .
because
you have destroyed your land,
and
slain your people.
The seed/children of evildoers should never be renowned.
21~~Prepare
the slaughter for his children
for
the 'punishment for sin'/iniquity {`avon} of their fathers . . .
that
they do not rise,
nor
possess the land,
nor
fill the face of the world with cities.
22~~"For
I will rise up against them,"
said
the Jehovah/God of armies/hosts,
"and
cut off from Babylon the name,
and
remnant, and son, and nephew,"
said
the Jehovah/God.
23~~"I
will also make it a possession
for
the porcupine/bittern {qippowd},
and
pools of water.
And
I will sweep it
with
the broom/besom {mat'ate'} of destruction,"
said
the Jehovah/God of armies/hosts.
{Note: The Chaldean empire will be destroyed and today it no longer exists on the earth.}
24~~The
Jehovah/God of the armies/hosts has sworn, saying,
"Surely
as I have thought,
so
shall it come to pass.
{and in 539BC the destruction of the Chaldean Empire it does come
to pass}
And as I have purposed, so shall it stand."
{Verses
25-27: Judgment of the Assyrian Empire}
25~~I
will break the Assyrian in My land,
and
upon My mountains tread him under foot.
Then
shall his yoke depart from off them,
and
his burden depart from off their shoulders.
{Note: The Assyrian empire enslaved many people and gave them terrific amounts of work to do.}
26~~This
is the purpose
that
is purposed upon the whole earth
and
this is the hand
that
is stretched out upon all the nations.
27~~For
Jehovah/God of armies/hosts has purposed,
and
who shall disannul it?
And
His hand is stretched out,
and
who shall turn it back?
{Note: RBT said that the Assyrians (and the Chaldeans) were involved in idolatry. Through idolatry, Satan controls people and nations. Satan did not want either the Chaldeans or Assyrians destroyed. But, he was powerless to stop God's will. See the book of Nahum for more on this subject.}
{Verses
28-32: Judgment of Judah -
Because of Ahaz and His Terrible Decision}
28~~In
the year that king Ahaz died {725 BC}
was
this burden.
29~~Rejoice
not you, everyone in Palestine . . .
because
the rod of him who smote you is broken.
For
out of the serpent's root
shall
come forth a cockatrice/'spiting cobra' {tsepha`}.
And
his fruit/prodigy shall be
a
'poisonous baby cobra'/'fiery flying serpent'.
{Note: Means that they will always be in trouble until the 2nd coming of Christ. The baby cobra comes out fully poisonous. They are dangerous from the start.}
30~~And
the firstborn of the poor shall feed,
{the saved Jews of the day of Hezekiah}
and
the needy shall lie down in safety.
{time of the Sennacherib invasion}
And
I will kill your root {Assyria - the serpent root}
with
famine,
and
he shall slay your remnant.
{means the Assyrians will come in and take out the Northern
Kingdom}
31~~Howl,
O gate . . .
cry,
O city {Jerusalem} . . .
you,
everyone in Palestine, are dissolved . . .
{out under the 5th cycle of Discipline}
for
there shall come from the north a smoke,
{Nebuchadnezzar in 586 BC}
and
none shall be alone in his appointed times.
32~~What shall one then answer the messengers of the nation?
That
the Jehovah/God has founded Zion . . .
and
the poor of His people shall trust in it.
{ends in a high note - the restoration of Israel at the 2nd Advent of
Christ}
