Isaiah 10:27 - Exposition

The yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing ; literally, before the oil ; i.e. "the Anointed One"—primarily Hezekiah, "the anointed of the Lord" ( 2 Samuel 19:21 ; 2 Kings 11:12 ; Lamentations 4:20 ) for the time being, but with a further refer-once to the Messiah, who breaks all the bands of the wicked asunder, and casts away their cords from him ( Psalms 2:2 , Psalms 2:3 ); and who is represented by each prince of the house of David, as he was by David himself.
