Commentary on Isaiah 14:3

Theological / Devotional

Give thee rest. As the Israelites had been slaves in Egypt, so they would be captives in Babylon. And as God gave them rest from servitude in Egypt, so He would grant them rest from their forced sojourn in Babylon. The Promised Land was to have been this place of rest. But Israel, because of their sins, again failed to enter into the promised rest. This promise is therefore reserved for spiritual Israel, who are to be gathered from among all nations and delivered from the final attempt of Babylon to enslave the world. The people of God will eventually find “rest” in the heavenly Canaan, the earth made new.
