Commentators agree that the burning of armor and bloody garments is a powerful symbol of a complete and final victory. This imagery points to the coming of the Messiah, whose reign will usher in an era of ultimate peace, rendering the very tools of war obsolete. This theme of destroying weapons to signify peace is also found in Psalms 46:9 and Ezekiel 39:9.
