Jesaja 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.''

Jesaja 34:8 In-Context

6 Het zwaard des HEEREN is vol van bloed, het is vet geworden van smeer, van het bloed der lammeren en der bokken, van het smeer der nieren van de rammen; want de HEERE heeft een slachtoffer te Bozra, en een grote slachting in het land der Edomieten.
7 En de eenhoornen zullen met hen afgaan, en de varren met de stieren; en hun land zal doordronken zijn van het bloed, en hun stof zal van het smeer vet gemaakt worden.
8 Want het zal zijn de dag der wraak des HEEREN, een jaar der vergeldingen, om Sions twistzaak.
9 En hun beken zullen in pek verkeerd worden, en hun stof in zwavel; ja, hun aarde zal tot brandend pek worden.
10 Het zal des nachts of des daags niet uitgeblust worden, tot in der eeuwigheid zal zijn rook opgaan; van geslacht tot geslacht zal het woest zijn, tot in eeuwigheid der eeuwigheden zal niemand daar doorgaan.
