Isaías 9:4

4 Ciertamente tú has quebrado,como en la derrota de Madián,el yugo que los oprimía,la barra que pesaba sobre sus hombros,el bastón de mando que los subyugaba.

Isaías 9:4 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 9:4

For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden
Of Galilee, of the nation multiplied, of the spiritual inhabitants of it, whose joy was increased; and this is one reason of it, because they were delivered by the Lord from the burdensome yoke of the ceremonial law, which was broken off and abolished by Christ; and from the tyranny of Satan, the god of this world, out of whose hands they were ransomed and delivered; and from the dominion of sin, under the power of which they had been in bondage. And the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor;
different phrases, expressive of the same thing; the bondage and slavery of the law, sin, and Satan: as in the day of Midian;
when Gideon got an entire victory over the Midianites, with a few unarmed men, by the sound of trumpets, and breaking of pitchers, ( Judges 7:16-22 ) and may denote the easy manner in which Christ obtained a conquest over all his and our enemies; and the means by which it is made known unto us, and we are freed from bondage to spiritual enemies; namely, by the ministration of the Gospel, compared to the blowing of trumpets; and which is a treasure put into earthen vessels, frail and weak men.

Isaías 9:4 In-Context

2 El pueblo que andaba en la oscuridadha visto una gran luz;sobre los que vivían en densas tinieblasla luz ha resplandecido.

3 Tú has hecho que la nación crezca;has aumentado su alegría.Y se alegran ellos en tu presenciacomo cuando recogen la cosecha,como cuando reparten el botín.

4 Ciertamente tú has quebrado,como en la derrota de Madián,el yugo que los oprimía,la barra que pesaba sobre sus hombros,el bastón de mando que los subyugaba.

5 Todas las botas guerrerasque resonaron en la batalla,y toda la ropa teñida en sangreserán arrojadas al fuego,serán consumidas por las llamas.

6 Porque nos ha nacido un niño,se nos ha concedido un hijo;la soberanía reposará sobre sus hombros,y se le darán estos nombres:Consejero admirable, Dios fuerte,Padre eterno, Príncipe de paz.
