Isaías 25:12

12 E abaixará as altas fortalezas dos teus muros; abatê-las-á e derrubá-las-á por terra até o pó.

Isaías 25:12 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 25:12

And the fortress of the high fort of thy walls shall he
bring down
That is, their high and, fenced walls, which were about their cities, the fortifications of them; these should be destroyed by the Lord, be battered and brought down, not being able to stand against his mighty power. The Targum renders it,

``the mighty city, the cities of the nations;''
and may design the city of Rome, and the cities of the nations that shall fall at the pouring out of the seventh and last vial, ( Revelation 16:19 ) it follows, lay low, [and] bring to the ground, [even] to the dust;
which variety of words without any copulative are used to express the sudden, quick, certain, and irrecoverable destruction of such fortified city, or cities, and their fortifications.

Isaías 25:12 In-Context

10 Porque a mão do Senhor repousará neste monte; e Moabe será trilhado no seu lugar, assim como se trilha a palha na água do monturo.
11 E estenderá as suas mãos no meio disso, assim como as estende o nadador para nadar; mas o Senhor abaterá a sua altivez juntamente com a perícia das suas mãos.
12 E abaixará as altas fortalezas dos teus muros; abatê-las-á e derrubá-las-á por terra até o pó.
