Isaiah 2:13 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 2:13

And upon all the cedars of Lebanon [that are] high and

nobles, princes, governors of provinces, as the same writers explain the words, oaks being inferior to cedars: the day of the Lord will be upon these, and their destruction come on at the battle of Armageddon, ( Revelation 19:18-21 ) .

Isaiah 2:13 In-Context

12 For the day of the Lord of hosts shall be on each proud man and high, and on each boaster, and he shall be made low; (For the day of the Lord of hosts shall be on each proud person, who thinketh himself to be high, and on each boaster, and they shall be made low;)
13 and on all the cedars of the Lebanon high and raised (up), and on all the oaks of Bashan,
14 and on all high mountains, and on all little hills, that be raised [up];
15 and on each high tower, and on each strong wall;
