Isaiah 33:13 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 33:13

Hear, ye [that are] far off, what I have done
Not meaning the destruction of the Assyrian, as it is commonly interpreted; but the ruin of antichrist, the beast, and false prophet, and the burning of the city and whore of Rome; for, whoever will be the instruments, the work is the Lord's, and therefore it will be done: "she shall be utterly burnt with fire, for strong is the Lord who judgeth her", ( Revelation 18:8 ) and this shall be heard of far and near, who shall applaud the mighty work, and give God the glory of it, ( Revelation 19:1 Revelation 19:2 ) : and, ye [that are] near, acknowledge my might;
even his omnipotence, which will be seen, observed, and owned by multitudes, who will say, "Allelujah, for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth", ( Revelation 19:6 ) there will be some that will be nigh, that shall stand afar off, lamenting her case, and will not own the hand of God in it, ( Revelation 18:9 Revelation 18:10 Revelation 18:15 ) but others will.

13 You who are far away, hear what I have done; you who are near, acknowledge my power!

14 The sinners in Zion are terrified; trembling grips the godless: “Who of us can dwell with the consuming fire? Who of us can dwell with everlasting burning?”

15 Those who walk righteously and speak what is right, who reject gain from extortion and keep their hands from accepting bribes, who stop their ears against plots of murder and shut their eyes against contemplating evil—
