In the context of <a href="/isaiah/14.htm">Isaiah 14</a>, it follows the downfall of Babylon, symbolizing the end of oppression and tyranny. Historically, Babylon was a dominant empire known for its conquests and harsh rule, so its fall would indeed bring relief to many nations. This peace can be seen as a foreshadowing of the peace that Christ brings, as prophesied in <a href="/isaiah/9-6.htm">Isaiah 9:6-7</a>, where the Messiah is called the "Prince of Peace." The imagery of rest also connects to the Sabbath rest, a theme throughout Scripture that points to spiritual rest in Christ (<a href="/hebrews/4-9.htm">Hebrews 4:9-10</a>).<p><b>they break out in song.</b><br>The response of breaking out in song signifies joy and celebration, a common biblical reaction to deliverance and divine intervention. In <a href="/exodus/15.htm">Exodus 15</a>, after the Israelites crossed the Red Sea and escaped Pharaoh's army, they sang a song of praise to God. Similarly, in <a href="/revelation/15-3.htm">Revelation 15:3</a>, the redeemed sing the song of Moses and the Lamb, celebrating God's victory over evil. This phrase in <a href="/isaiah/14-7.htm">Isaiah 14:7</a> suggests a spontaneous and communal expression of gratitude and relief, highlighting the transformative power of God's justice and the joy that follows liberation from oppression. The act of singing also serves as a form of worship, acknowledging God's sovereignty and faithfulness.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/i/isaiah.htm">Isaiah</a></b><br>A major prophet in the Old Testament, Isaiah is the author of the book that bears his name. He prophesied during the reigns of several kings of Judah and is known for his messages of both judgment and hope.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/b/babylon.htm">Babylon</a></b><br>In the context of <a href="/bsb/isaiah/14.htm">Isaiah 14</a>, Babylon represents a powerful empire that oppressed Israel.
