Isaías 14:5

5 Quebró el SEÑOR la vara de los malvados;rompió el bastón de los tiranos

Isaías 14:5 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 14:5

The Lord hath broken the staff of the wicked
This is an answer to the above question, how the exactor and his tribute came to cease; this was not by man, but by the Lord himself; for though he made use of Cyrus, the work was his own, he broke the power of the wicked kings of Babylon: [and] the sceptre of the rulers;
that were under the king of Babylon; or of the several kings themselves, Nebuchadnezzar, Evilmerodach, and Belshazzar; so Kimchi interprets it. This may be applied to the kingdom of antichrist, and the antichristian states, which shall be broken to shivers as a potter's vessel by Christ, the King of kings, and Lord of lords, ( Revelation 2:27 ) ( Revelation 19:15 Revelation 19:16 ) . The "staff" and "sceptre" are emblems of power and government; and "breaking" them signifies the utter destruction and cessation of authority and dominion.

Isaías 14:5 In-Context

3 Cuando el SEÑOR los haga descansar de su sufrimiento, de su tormento y de la cruel esclavitud a la que fueron sometidos,

4 pronunciarán esta sátira contra el rey de Babilonia:¡Hay que ver cómo terminó el opresor,y cómo acabó su furia insolente!

5 Quebró el SEÑOR la vara de los malvados;rompió el bastón de los tiranos

6 que con furia y continuos golpescastigaba a los pueblos,que con implacable enojodominaba y perseguía a las naciones.

7 Toda la tierra descansa tranquilay prorrumpe en gritos de alegría.
