5 For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire.

Quotes for discussion

Noise and blood, or burning and fire?

Isaiah comments on how this future battle will be different from conventional wars with the confusion of battle and bloodshed. This battle will be fuel and fire. Isaiah 9:5 footnote b states, “This ‘burning’ is to be the cleansing of the earth by fire prior to the setting up of the Messianic kingdom.” One scholar suggests this could also refer to the burning and fire of the Holy Ghost involved in conversion. (Ball, Isaiah and the Book of Mormon, audiotape, #4.)

John Bytheway, Isaiah for Airheads, p. 123-124

This shall be with burning and fuel of fire

During the Millennium “the material and equipment needed for war will be destroyed.”

Sidney B. Sperry, Book of Mormon Compendium, 207
