Commentary

Commentary on Isaiah 14:2

Theological / Devotional

People. The Dead Sea scroll lQIs reads “many people.”

Rule over their oppressors. Had the Jews diligently served the Lord upon their return from Babylon, it was His plan that they would finally rule the earth (see p. 30). Eventually, all men would have recognized one another as brethren. All would have worshiped the Lord and rejoiced in His salvation. Israel, however, failed again, after the Captivity, to measure up to God’s ideal for them (see p. 31), and never realized the glorious privilege that might have been theirs. In the final triumph of the saints at the close of time, however, God’s people of all ages will rule over their enemies (Dan. 7:14, 18, 27).
