Charles Spurgeon Commentary
"For all the armor of the armed man in the tumult, and the garments rolled in blood, shall be for burning, for fuel of fire." — Isaiah 9:5 (ASV)
When Jesus comes, you shall have eternal peace, for his battle is the end of battles. All the armor of the armed man in the tumult, and the garments rolled in blood, shall even be for burning, for fuel of fire. This is the rendering of the Revision; and it is good. The Prince of peace wars against war, and destroys it. What a glorious day is that in which the Lord breaks the bow and cuts the spear apart, and burns the chariot in the fire! I think I see it now.
My sins, which were the weapons of my foes, the Lord piles in heaps. What mountains of prey! But see! He brings the fire-brand of his love from the altar of his sacrifice, and he sets fire to the gigantic pile. See how they blaze! They are utterly consumed forever.
