Ésaïe 34:8 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 34:8

For [it is] the day of the Lord's vengeance
The time which he has appointed to take vengeance on antichrist, his 1260 days, or years; being up, in which he is to reign; these being expired, the time is come for the Lord to avenge the blood of his saints; see ( Revelation 18:20 ) ( 19:2 ) : [and] the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion;
the church of God, which has been for many ages abused and injured by the antichristian powers, for which the Lord will have a controversy with them; he will appear in favour of his people, and plead the cause of Zion, and recompense their enemies for all the injuries they have done them; then they that have led into captivity shall go into captivity, and they that have killed with the sword shall be killed with it, ( Revelation 13:10 ) this will be a time of double recompence; and therefore perhaps the word is used in the plural number; it will be the time of rewarding antichrist as he has rewarded others; and it will be the time of the dead, that they shall be judged, and rewards given to God's servants the prophets, ( Revelation 18:6 ) ( 11:18 ) . The Targum is,

``the year of recompence, to take vengeance of judgment for the injury of Zion.''

Ésaïe 34:8 In-Context

6 L'épée de l'Éternel est pleine de sang; elle est couverte de graisse, du sang des agneaux et des boucs, de la graisse des reins des béliers. Car l'Éternel fait un sacrifice à Botsra, une grande tuerie au pays d'Édom.

7 Avec eux tombent les bœufs sauvages, et les veaux avec les taureaux. Leur terre est enivrée de sang, et leur poussière imprégnée de graisse.

8 Car c'est le jour de la vengeance de l'Éternel, l'année de la rétribution, pour faire droit à Sion.

9 Les torrents d'Édom seront changés en poix, et sa poussière en soufre; sa terre deviendra de la poix brûlante.

10 Elle ne sera éteinte ni nuit ni jour; sa fumée montera à jamais; elle sera désolée d'âge en âge; il n'y aura plus, à jamais, personne qui y passe.
