Commentary on Isaiah 30:31

Theological / Devotional

The Assyrian. In Isaiah’s time Assyria was Judah’s greatest enemy. The prediction made here points to the destruction of Sennacherib’s army (see ch. 37:36). As the Assyrian smote with a rod, so he would be smitten with the rod of God’s wrath. Similarly, all the wicked will finally be smitten with a “rod of iron” (Ps. 2:9; Rev. 2:27; 12:5; cf. Isa. 19:15).
