Esodo 15:3 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 15:3

The Lord is a man of war
A "man", which has respect to the future incarnation of Christ, for as yet he was not really man; though it was purposed, covenanted, agreed to, and prophesied of, that he should, as he after was; not a mere man, as appears by the following clause: "a man of war"; or a warrior; being engaged in war, and inured to it; having to do with very powerful enemies, Satan and his principalities and powers, the world, and the great men of it, antichrist, and all the antichristian states. A warrior well versed in all the arts of war, and abundantly qualified for it, having consummate wisdom, strength, and courage, and thoroughly furnished and accoutred for it; having on the breastplate of righteousness, the helmet of salvation, the garment of vengeance, and cloak of zeal, and a vesture dipped in blood; and with a sword girt on his thigh, or drawn, or coming out of his mouth; and with a bow and arrows, going forth conquering, and to conquer; for he is a victorious one, who has conquered sin, Satan, and the world, and will subdue all others, and make his people more than conquerors, through him. He is not a common man of war or warrior; he is the Captain of the Lord's host, the Leader and Commander of the people, the Generalissimo of the armies in heaven and earth, and is a Prince and King at the head of them: the Lord is his name;
or Jehovah, which proves him to be more than a man; and being so, it is no wonder that he is so mighty, powerful, and victorious.

Esodo 15:3 In-Context

1 ALLORA Mosè, co’ figliuoli d’Israele, cantò questo cantico al Signore, e dissero così: Io canterò al Signore, perciocchè egli si è sommamente magnificato; Egli ha traboccato in mare il cavallo, e colui che lo cavalcava.
2 Il Signore è la mia forza e il mio cantico, E mi è stato in salvezza; Quest’è il mio Dio, io lo glorificherò; L’Iddio del padre mio, io l’esalterò.
3 Il Signore è un gran guerriero; Il suo Nome è, il Signore.
4 Egli ha traboccati in mare i carri di Faraone, e il suo esercito; E la scelta de’ suoi capitani è stata sommersa nel mar rosso.
5 Gli abissi li hanno coperti; Essi sono andati a fondo, come una pietra.
