Isaiah 13:1-22 BSB

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 13:16

THE DOOM OF THE CHILDREN OF BABYLONIsaiah 13:16. Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes.Consider this terrible declaration—I. As it regards man. 1. As a revelation of the degradation of which he is capable. History may be said to be a manifold revelation to this effect; the Bible alone gives hope for man, by disclosing his capabilities of development and exaltation. 2. As a remindal that no earthly empire is in and of itself secure against utter over throw. 3. As a... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 13:17

THE LOVE OF MONEYIsaiah 13:17. The Medes … shall not regard silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in it.I. One of the most universal and powerful of all passions is the love of money. Consider—1. How wide-spread is this passion. The instant men rise above utter barbarism, it manifests itself. Paradoxical as it may sound, it is one of the first signs that civilisation has begun. In every civilised land, and among all classes, it constantly manifests itself [1021] It is one of the... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 13:18

SPARE THE CHILDREN(Sunday-School Anniversary Sermon.)Isaiah 13:18. Their eye shall not spare children.This declaration is made concerning the Medes, by whom the power of Babylon was destined to be broken. So thoroughly bent will they be upon their mission of revenge, that they will not be turned away from it by any appeals either to their avarice (Isaiah 13:17) or to their pity (text). The helplessness of infancy and the innocence of youth, which are naturally so impressive and persuasive, will... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 13:19

SODOM AND GOMORRAHIsaiah 13:19. And Babylon, the glory of the kingdoms, &c.The anticipated destruction of Babylon is here compared to that of Sodom and Gomorrah, because of its completeness, and because of the hopelessness of any return of that city to its former glory (Isaiah 13:20-22). The fate of Sodom and Gomorrah should be pondered, not merely because it is here used as a symbol of the fate of Babylon, but also because of the solemn lessons it affords in relation to sin. That memorable... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Isaiah 13:12

Isaiah 13:12 I. The text is a promise in the guise of a threat. It is a threat to one nation, but a promise to mankind. The text is speaking of the devastation of war men shall be so scarce that gold itself shall lose its preciousness. The overthrow of a nation is predicted here; the destruction of the mighty Babylonian empire. In that contempt of man, which at the first her pride and lust of possession revealed, was hidden Babylon's doom. The nation so lavish of human life was to die utterly... read more

Scofield's Reference Notes - Isaiah 13:1

burden A "burden," Heb. massa= a heavy, weighty thing, is a message, or oracle concerning Babylon, Assyria, Jerusalem, etc. It is "heavy" because the wrath of God is in it, and grievous for the prophet to declare. Babylon The city, Babylon is not in view here, as the immediate context shows. It is important to note the significance of the name when used symbolically. "Babylon" is the Greek form: invariably in the O.T. Hebrew the word is simply Babel, the meaning of which is confusion, and in... read more

Scofield's Reference Notes - Isaiah 13:19

And Babylon Verses 12-16 look forward to the apocalyptic judgments (Re 6.-13.). Verses 17-22 have a near and far view. They predict the destruction of the literal Babylon then existing; with the further statement that, once destroyed, Babylon should never be rebuilt (cf) Jeremiah 51:61-64. All of this has been literally fulfilled. But the place of this prediction in a great prophetic strain looks forward to the destruction of both politico-Babylon and ecclesio- Babylon in the time of the Beast... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Isaiah 13:1-22

Chapter 13Now as we move into chapter 13 and he speaks of the burden of Babylon which Isaiah saw, you remember that we mentioned when we started the prophecy of Isaiah that in many of the prophecies, there was what we called the near fulfillment and the far fulfillment. The prophecies were sort of like a two-edged sword in that they had an immediate connotation, but oftentimes there was also a future connotation. So in the seventh chapter when he said, "Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 13:1-22

In the thirteen chapters which follow, the prophet, like a watchman, raises his voice, and denounces woes against all the surrounding nations, and finally against his own country. Isaiah 13:1 . The burden of Babylon. The LXX merely read ode or song. Isaiah puts his name to it, being fully assured of its truth. The burden of these terrific predictions was laid upon him, he must utter them in the sublimest strains of eloquence. Isaiah 13:2 . Lift ye up a banner upon the high mountain. ... read more
