Commentary

Commentary on Isaiah 26:5

Theological / Devotional

The lofty city. Probably Babylon (see on ch. 25:2), the city whose king vaunted himself above the stars of God (see on ch. 14:4, 13). Mystical Babylon and Jerusalem have ever been arch foes in the great conflict of the ages (see on Isa. 14:4; Rev. 17:5; 18:24). For a graphic description of the fall of literal Babylon, see Isa. 13:19-22. For a description of the fall of mystical Babylon, as presented by John, see Rev. 16:19 ; 17:16; 18:2, 6, 8, 20-23; 19:2.
