The Church's Exultation Over Her Foes
Isaiah 14:4-23
That you shall take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How has the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!


Surely, in some such terms as these, the Church shall one day exult over all her foes, and especially over the great apostate power of Babylon the Great, the City of the Seven Hills. And still more, over the cast out prince of this world, of whom the King of Babylon and other princes of this world have been the types and representatives.

(F. B. Meyer, B. A.)
