What does Isaiah 14:15 mean?
John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
Isaiah 14:15
Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell
Into a very low and miserable condition; see ( Matthew
11:23 ) instead of ascending to heaven: or "to the grave";
though, inasmuch as afterwards a burial is denied him, the word
may be taken for the infernal pit, and so is, as much as can be,
opposed to heaven; and this will be true of antichrist, when the
beast and false prophet will be cast alive into the lake of fire,
( Revelation 19:20 ) :
to the sides of the pit;
instead of being on the mount of the congregation in the sides of
the north; another word for hell, the pit of corruption, and the
bottomless pit. The Targum is,
``to the ends of the lake of the house of perdition;''the place of everlasting destruction.
