Isaías 14:14

14 Escalaré hasta los cielos más altos
y seré como el Altísimo”.

Isaías 14:14 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 14:14

I will ascend above the heights of the clouds
Which are the chariots of God, and in which he rides, and so this proud monarch affected to be as he; perhaps some reference is had to the cloud in which Jehovah dwelt in the temple. The Targum is,

``I will ascend above all people,''

compared to clouds for their multitude. In the mystical sense, the true ministers of the word may be meant, so called for their height, motion, swiftness, and fulness of Gospel doctrine, compared to rain; see ( Isaiah 5:6 ) ( Revelation 11:6 Revelation 11:7 ) . I will be like the most High;
so Satan affected to be, and this was the bait he laid for our first parents, and with which they were taken; and nothing less than deity could satisfy some ambitious princes, as Caligula, and others; and this was what the Babylonish monarch aspired to, and ordered to be ascribed to him, and be regarded as such, either while living, or at least after death, which was what had been done to many Heathen princes. So antichrist is represented as showing himself to be God, ( 2 Thessalonians 2:4 ) by calling and suffering himself to be called God; by assuming all power in heaven and in earth; taking upon him to depose kings and dispose of kingdoms at pleasure; dispensing with the laws of God, and making new ones; absolving men from their oaths, pardoning their sins, setting up himself as infallible, as the sole interpreter of Scripture, and judge of controversies. The Targum is,

``I will he higher than them all;''

than the kings of the earth, and all other bishops.

Isaías 14:14 In-Context

12 »¡Cómo has caído del cielo,
oh estrella luciente, hijo de la mañana!
Has sido arrojado a la tierra,
tú que destruías a las naciones del mundo.

13 Pues te decías a ti mismo:
“Subiré al cielo para poner mi trono por encima de las estrellas de Dios.
Voy a presidir en el monte de los dioses,
muy lejos en el norte.

14 Escalaré hasta los cielos más altos
y seré como el Altísimo”.

15 En cambio, serás bajado al lugar de los muertos,
a las profundidades más hondas.

16 Allí todos te mirarán y se preguntarán:
“¿Puede ser este el que sacudía la tierra
y hacía temblar a los reinos del mundo?
