That I will break
the Assyrian in My land, and upon My mountains tread him under foot: then shall
his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders.
The yoke of the Assyrian will be broken by the LORD of hosts, as
surely as the evening and the morning fulfill the day. He shall be tread under
foot by the Holy One of Israel upon the mountains of Jerusalem. Even now their
forces are converging on those mountains ready for the first stage of
fulfillment: the Psalm 83 war. The burden of the Assyrian will depart from the
shoulders of Judah, and then shall they dwell safely (yashab betach). Witness the pre dawn light of the risen Sun of
Righteousness, the King of Glory! Awake, O Jerusalem, for the arm of the Lord
shall put on strength. As it is written,
Isaiah 51:9
Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD;
awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. Art thou not it that
hath cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon?
