Though, as Bp. Lowth observes, this prophecy must have its accomplishment, there is no necessity for supposing that it has been already accomplished. There are prophecies which intimate a great slaughter of the enemies of God and his people, which remain to be fulfilled: those in Ezek. 38, and Revelation 20:1-15 are called Gog and Magog. This prophecy of Isaiah may possibly refer to the same, or the like event.and trample Isaiah 63:6, 34:2-5; 2 Kings 9:33; Ezekiel 38:18-22; Micah 7:10; Zechariah 10:5 Reciprocal Leviticus 26:28 - in fury;
