Глава 34

“Venid, oh gentiles, y oiréis” (Isaías 34:1). Just as the prophet previously spoke about the Assyrians alone, so now he begins to speak together about the Assyrians and the Edomites. “And the sky will disappear... and all the stars will fall” (Is. 34:4), that is, the pride and all the strength of the Assyrians will fall, for the prophet, under the image of the powers of heaven, represents the princes of the Assyrians. “My sword is drunk in heaven” (Is. 34:5), that is, with the blood of the Assyrians, represented under the image of heaven. “As the leaves fall from the vine, and as the leaves of the fig tree fall” (Is. 34:4). Esto se dice del reino de los asirios, y después de ellos los edomitas recibirán juicio. “Like the Lord’s sacrifice in Bozrah” (Is. 34:6) upon his return; El sacrificio es que los edomitas serán destruidos a espada en el juicio de justicia. “And the unicorns, that is, the Edomites, will fall with them, and the earth will be drunk with their blood. And its streams will turn to pitch, and its land to a bug... And the birds will inherit it, and the hedgehogs, owls and corvids will nest in it... and the demons will hide... then the monsters of the night will rest, having found their own resting places" (Is. 34: 7, 9, 11, 14 ). Todos los horrores enumerados aquí por el profeta estarán realmente en Idumea después de la desolación predicha; En lugar de habitantes, en las casas de Edom se asentarán aves, erizos, córvidos y buitres. “And they will inherit it, that is, Edomites, forever... And His hand divided it among them in measure... and not one of them will perish. Search in the book of the Lord, and you will find that nothing perished” (Is. 34:17, 16), that is, everything that Moses and other prophets predicted about the Assyrians and Edomites was fulfilled over them, and not one of their predictions remained in vain.
