Isaiah 13:3 (KJV)
Commentary on Isaiah 13:3
God has 'sanctified' (set apart) and 'called' His mighty ones—the Medo-Persian army—for His anger. They are His warriors who rejoice in His highness, though unwittingly. This reveals that God sanctifies even pagan armies for specific purposes. Being 'sanctified' here means set apart for divine use, not moral purification. God can consecrate any instrument for His purposes. This demonstrates comprehensive sovereignty—even God's 'mighty ones' in judgment are His appointed agents.
