Isaías 30:27

27 He aquí, el nombre del SEÑOR viene de lejos ardiente es su ira, y denso es su humo. Sus labios están llenos de indignación, su lengua es como fuego consumidor,

Isaías 30:27 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 30:27

Behold, the name of the Lord cometh from far
From hence to the end of the chapter ( Isaiah 30:28-33 ) is a very full account, by way of prophecy, of the destruction of the Assyrian army by the Lord; and which is to be considered as a type of the destruction of antichrist, by and at the coming of the Lord Jesus. It is introduced with a "behold", as declaring something of moment and importance worthy of attention, and even wonderful. "The name of the Lord" is the Lord himself; unless it is to be understood of the angel that came in the name of the Lord, and destroyed Sennacherib's army; who may be said to come "from far", because he came from heaven; and from whence Christ the Angel uncreated, in whom the name of the Lord is, will come to judge the world, and to take vengeance on all his and his people's enemies, antichrist and all his followers: burning [with] his anger;
against the Assyrian monarch and his army. So our Lord, when he shall come forth to make war with the antichristian kings of the earth, his "eyes" shall be "as a flame of fire": and when he comes to judge the world, he will descend in "flaming fire", ( Revelation 19:12 ) ( 2 Thessalonians 1:7 ) the day of the Lord will burn as an oven, ( Malachi 4:1 ) : and the burden [thereof is] heavy:
the punishment inflicted, in his burning anger and hot displeasure, will be heavy, even intolerable, heavier than it can be borne, as the Targum paraphrases it; see ( Genesis 4:13 ) : his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring
fire;
the words he will utter, the sentence he will pronounce, will be dreadful, executed by the angel; so the sharp sword that goes out of the mouth of Christ, with which he will smite the nations; and such the awful sentence pronounced by him on the wicked, "go, ye cursed, into everlasting fire" see ( Revelation 19:15 ) ( Matthew 25:41 ) . So the Targum,

``from before him goes out the curse upon the ungodly, and his Word as a consuming fire.''

Isaías 30:27 In-Context

25 Sobre todo monte alto y sobre toda colina elevada habrá arroyos de aguas perennes el día de la gran matanza, cuando caigan las torres.
26 Y será la luz de la luna como la luz del sol, y la luz del sol será siete veces mayor, como la luz de siete días, el día que el SEÑOR vende la fractura de su pueblo y cure la llaga que El ha causado.
27 He aquí, el nombre del SEÑOR viene de lejos ardiente es su ira, y denso es su humo. Sus labios están llenos de indignación, su lengua es como fuego consumidor,
28 y su aliento como un torrente desbordado que llega hasta el cuello, para zarandear a las naciones en una zaranda de destrucción, y poner la brida que conduce a la ruina en las mandíbulas de los pueblos.
29 Tendréis cánticos como en la noche en que celebráis la fiesta, y alegría de corazón como cuando uno marcha al son de la flauta, para ir al monte del SEÑOR, a la Roca de Israel.
