“And the Lord of hosts shall stir up a scourge for him according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and as his rod was upon the sea, so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt.”
And the LORD of hosts will raise up a scourge for him like the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb—God's promise to actively intervene against Assyria, using historical precedent (Midian's defeat) to assure that what seems impossible (the destruction of mighty Assyria) will be accomplished. The specific reference to Midian establishes God's consistent pattern of delivering His people against overwhelming odds. This verse assures that just as God acted decisively in the past, He will act decisively in the future.
