Isaías 14:5 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 14:5

The Lord hath broken the staff of the wicked
This is an answer to the above question, how the exactor and his tribute came to cease; this was not by man, but by the Lord himself; for though he made use of Cyrus, the work was his own, he broke the power of the wicked kings of Babylon: [and] the sceptre of the rulers;
that were under the king of Babylon; or of the several kings themselves, Nebuchadnezzar, Evilmerodach, and Belshazzar; so Kimchi interprets it. This may be applied to the kingdom of antichrist, and the antichristian states, which shall be broken to shivers as a potter's vessel by Christ, the King of kings, and Lord of lords, ( Revelation 2:27 ) ( Revelation 19:15 Revelation 19:16 ) . The "staff" and "sceptre" are emblems of power and government; and "breaking" them signifies the utter destruction and cessation of authority and dominion.

Isaías 14:5 In-Context

3 No dia em que Deus vier a dar-te descanso do teu trabalho, e do teu tremor, e da dura servidão com que te fizeram servir,

4 proferirás esta parábola contra o rei de Babilônia, e dirás: Como cessou o opressor! como cessou a tirania!

5 Já quebrantou o Senhor o bastão dos ímpios e o cetro dos dominadores;

6 cetro que feria os povos com furor, com açoites incessantes, e que em ira dominava as nações com uma perseguição irresistível.

7 Toda a terra descansa, e está sossegada! Rompem em brados de júbilo.
