Isaia 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.

Isaia 25:12 In-Context

10 Perciocchè la mano del Signore riposerà sopra questo monte; e Moab sarà trebbiato sotto lui, come si trebbia la paglia per farne del letame.

11 Ed egli stenderà le sue mani in mezzo di esso, come chi nuota stende le mani per nuotare; ed abbasserà la sua alterezza, co’ colpi rovesci delle sue mani.

12 Ed abbasserà, abbatterà, gitterà a terra, fin nella polvere, la fortezza delle tue alte mura, o Moab.
