This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Isa 14:12-15. The Jews address the him again as a fallen once-bright star.
The language is so framed as to apply to the Babylonian king primarily, and at the same time to shadow forth through him, the great final enemy, the man of sin, Antichrist, of Daniel, St. Paul, and St. John; he alone shall fulfil exhaustively all the lineaments here given.
Lucifer - “day star.” A title truly belonging to Christ (Rev 22:16), “the bright and morning star,” and therefore hereafter to be assumed by Antichrist. Gesenius, however, renders the Hebrew here as in Eze 21:12; Zec 11:2, “howl.”
weaken - “prostrate”; as in Exo 17:13, “discomfit.”
