Notes

  • Just as Israel was subject to the Lord, the nations of the world would also submit to the Lord through Israel (Isaiah 45:14; 49:7, 23; 60:12, 14; 66:23).

  • The oppressed nation of Israel will rule over its enemies and gain power and favor with God.

This message for Israel separates two prophecies of judgment against Babylon (Isaiah 13; 14:3–23).
