What does Isaiah 14:25 mean?

This verse concludes a quote from the Lord which began in the previous verse (Isaiah 14:24). The Lord has declared that what He has sworn to do will absolutely happen. Now He reveals that He will "break the Assyrian" in His land. At that time, the Assyrian oppression of God's people will be lifted. This powerful nation that had put them under slavery and tyranny will be defeated.

What the Lord points forward to, through Isaiah, is likely the destruction of the Assyrian King Sennacherib's army. This destruction happened as the Assyrian army was holding Jerusalem under siege in 701 BC. In that event, the Lord directly struck down the Assyrian army: "And that night the angel of the Lord went out and struck down 185,000 in the camp of the Assyrians. And when people arose early in the morning, behold, these were all dead bodies. Then Sennacherib king of Assyria departed and went home and lived at Nineveh" (2 Kings 19:35–36).
