Isaiah 66:15 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 66:15

For, behold, the Lord will come with fire
Either with material fire, with which mystical Babylon or Rome shall be burnt, ( Revelation 18:8 ) , or with indignation and wrath, which shall be poured out like fire, and be as intolerable and consuming as that: and with his chariots like a whirlwind;
making a great noise, and striking great terror; alluding to chariots in which men used formerly to fight: to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire;
a heap of words, to show the fierceness of his wrath, and how severe his rebuke of enemies will be; which will be not a rebuke in love, as of his own people, but in a way of vindictive wrath.

Isaiah 66:15 In-Context

13 As a mother comforts her child, I will comfort you. You will find comfort in Jerusalem."
14 When you see that happen, your hearts will be filled with joy. Just as grass grows quickly, you will succeed. The LORD will show his power to those who serve him. But he will pour out his anger on his enemies.
15 The LORD will judge them with fire. His chariots are coming like a windstorm. He will pour out his burning anger on his enemies. It will blaze out like flames of fire.
16 The LORD will bring everyone into court. He will use fire and his sword to punish those he finds guilty. He will put many people to death.
17 "Some people set themselves apart and make themselves pure. They do it so they can go into the gardens to worship other gods. They do what the worship leader tells them to do. They eat the meat of pigs and rats. They also eat other things I hate. All of those people will come to a horrible end," announces the Lord.
