Isaiah 51:9

Isa. 51:9. Art thou not it that hath cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon. "The word Rahab here is not the same with Rahab the harlot in Joshua. The Hebrew words are slightly different The word signifies pride, probably so called from the exceeding pride that the Egyptians manifested in the time here spoken, viz. when God cut or broke that land, and wounded the dragon; the task-masters of the Israelites and Pharaoh the dragon, here spoken of, manifested an exceeding haughtiness of spirit, in so standing it out with God, who appeared in such awful judgments against them. On this account Egypt is the more fit type of the antichristian church, that is spiritually called Sodom and Egypt; and Pharaoh the dragon, here spoken of, the fitter type of the great red dragon with seven heads and ten horns, and the pope his image.

Isa. 52:7
