Isaiah 2:13 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 2:13

And upon all the cedars of Lebanon [that are] high and
lifted up
That is, upon the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication with Babylon, and will join with the beast and false prophet in making war with the Lamb. So the Targum, Jarchi, and Kimchi, interpret it of the kings of the nations, mighty and strong: and upon all the oaks of Bashan;
nobles, princes, governors of provinces, as the same writers explain the words, oaks being inferior to cedars: the day of the Lord will be upon these, and their destruction come on at the battle of Armageddon, ( Revelation 19:18-21 ) .
