For, behold, &c.— This passage is wholly figurative, exhibiting God, as about to take vengeance upon the enemies of his church, under the figure of a commander and warrior, as well as of a judge, armed at all points, severely to take vengeance upon those who have provoked his indignation. See chap. Isaiah 63:1, &c. and Revelation 18:8; Revelation 14:20; Revelation 14:20. Some suppose that this passage refers to the general judgment; but it is rather, according to the whole tenor of this prophesy, to be referred to the judgments of God upon the rebellious Jews, and upon the antichristian enemies of the church.
