Isaías 9:5

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

Isaías 9:5 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 9:5

For every battle of the warrior [is] with confused noise,
&c.] With the sound of the trumpet and as now with beating of drums, and the huzzas and shoutings of the soldiers, the stamping and neighing of horses, the rushing of chariots, and rumbling of wheels, and the clashing of swords, spears, and shields, and these sometimes striking one against another ^F11: and garments rolled in blood;
of them that were slain in battle: but [this] shall be with burning [and] fuel of fire;
which refers either to the sudden destruction of the Midianites, or rather to the quick and easy conquest that Christ obtained over sin, Satan, the world, and death; which was as soon over as any combustible matter is burnt with fire. Some interpret this of the destruction of the devil, his angels, of antichrist, and all wicked men by fire, at the last day; and others think that this last clause is to be read in connection with the preceding: "and garments rolled in blood, which shall be for burning, the fuel of fire" ^F12; that is, which garments rolled in blood shall be burnt with fire, and utterly consumed; and so there be no more war, but perpetual peace. It was usual after victory to burn the armour and spoils of the enemy ^F13; or rather it may intend the burning love and flaming zeal and affection of Christ the Saviour, next described ( Isaiah 9:5 ) .

Isaías 9:5 In-Context

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.

7 Se extenderán su soberanía y su paz,y no tendrán fin.Gobernará sobre el trono de Davidy sobre su reino,para establecerlo y sostenerlocon justicia y rectituddesde ahora y para siempre.Esto lo llevará a caboel celo del SEÑORTodopoderoso.
