Contextual Overview

1 All you nations, come near and listen. Pay attention, you peoples! The earth and all the people in it should listen, the world and everything in it. 2 The Lord is angry with all the nations; he is angry with their armies. He will destroy them and kill them all. 3 Their bodies will be thrown outside. The stink will rise from the bodies, and the blood will flow down the mountains. 4 The sun, moon, and stars will dissolve, and the sky will be rolled up like a scroll. The stars will fall like dead leaves from a vine or dried-up figs from a fig tree. 5 The Lord 's sword in the sky is covered with blood. It will cut through Edom and destroy those people as an offering to the Lord . 6 The Lord 's sword will be covered with blood; it will be covered with fat, with the blood from lambs and goats, with the fat from the kidneys of sheep. This is because the Lord decided there will be a sacrifice in Bozrah and much killing in Edom. 7 The oxen will be killed, and the cattle and the strong bulls. The land will be filled with their blood, and the dirt will be covered with their fat. 8 The Lord has chosen a time for punishment. He has chosen a year when people must pay for the wrongs they did to Jerusalem.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For [it is] the day of the Lord's vengeance,.... The time which he has appointed to take vengeance on antichrist, his 1260 days, or years; being up, in which he is to reign; these being expired, the time is come for the Lord to avenge the blood of his saints; see

Revelation 18:20:

[and] the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion; the church of God, which has been for many ages abused and injured by the antichristian powers, for which the Lord will have a controversy with them; he will appear in favour of his people, and plead the cause of Zion, and recompense their enemies for all the injuries they have done them; then they that have led into captivity shall go into captivity, and they that have killed with the sword shall be killed with it,

Revelation 13:10 this will be a time of double recompence; and therefore perhaps the word is used in the plural number; it will be the time of rewarding antichrist as he has rewarded others; and it will be the time of the dead, that they shall be judged, and rewards given to God's servants the prophets, Revelation 18:6. The Targum is,

"the year of recompence, to take vengeance of judgment for the injury of Zion.''

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

For it is the day of the Lord’s vengeance - A time when Yahweh will take vengeance.

The year of recompenses for the controversy of Zion - The time when he will recompense, that is, punish those who have had a controversy with Zion.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Isaiah 34:8. The year of recompenses for the controversy of Zion - "The year of recompense to the defender of the cause of Zion"] As from דון dun, דין din, a judge; so from רוב rub, ריב rib, an advocate, or defender; Judici Sionis: Syriac.
