Isaiah 7:17-25 The LORD shall bring on you, and on your people, and on your father's house, days that have not come… From this application of Ahaz to Tiglath-Pileser was to date the transition of Judah "to a servile state from which it was never permanently freed, the domination of Assyria being soon succeeded by that of Egypt, and this by that of Babylon, Persia, Syria, and Rome, the last ending only in the downfall of the State, and that general dispersion which continues to this day. The revolt of Hezekiah, and even longer intervals of liberty in later times, are mere interruptions of the customary and prevailing bondage." (J. A. Alexander.) Parallel Verses KJV: The LORD shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father's house, days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah; even the king of Assyria. |
