Isaiah66:15
15 For behold the Lord will come with fire , and with his chariots, with a whirle-wind , to render his anger with fury , and his rebukes with flames of fire.
Here the Prophet comes more particularly to expound what indignation should be shewed towards his enemies. That is, with terrible Judgments, nothing being more terrible, and wasting then fire or with fire in a proper sense, understanding it of the fire with which enemies use to consume places brought under their power.
with a sudden sweeping Judgment that like a whirl-wind shall destroy this people.
With fury, that is, with fervor, for [illegible: 1+ letters]ury properly so taken is not in God, ch. 27. 4. but God sometimes executes justice and Judgment more smartly and severely.
By reb[illegible: 1+ letters]kes, he means punishments, for it is said God will execute them with flames of fire. They had contemned the rebukes of his law, now God will rebuke them with fire, and sword.
