Here’s a doctrinally precise connection between Isaiah 14:17-27, Daniel 7, and Paul’s teaching on Yeshua as the Last Adam, showing how YHVH sent His Word to legally reclaim the jurisdiction Adam forfeited:

 Isaiah 14:17, 24–27 — YHVH’s Legal Overthrow of Tyranny

• Isaiah 14:17 describes Satan who “made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners.”
  This is a portrait of unlawful dominion—holding prisoners in defiance of divine justice.
• Isaiah 14:24–27 declares YHVH’s irreversible decree:
  “As I have purposed, so shall it stand… I will break the Assyrian in my land… This is the purpose that is purposed concerning the whole earth.” Symbolic Representation: In prophetic texts like Isaiah 14, the Assyrian is not just a historical figure but a symbol of cosmic rebellion, often linked to Satan’s unlawful dominion.

This is not just geopolitical—it’s cosmic. YHVH’s Word is sent to crush illegitimate rule and reclaim jurisdiction.

 This sets the legal precedent: YHVH’s Word is the agent of judgment, breaking the yoke and restoring rightful dominion.

 Daniel 7:13–14 — The Transfer of Dominion to the Son of Man

“Behold, one like the Son of Man came… and there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom…”
This is the courtroom scene where Yeshua receives what Adam lost—global jurisdiction, eternal dominion, and the allegiance of all nations.

• The beasts (world empires) are judged.
• The Son of Man is vindicated and enthroned.
• The dominion is legal, eternal, and universal.

This is the reversal of Genesis 3: Adam lost dominion through disobedience; Yeshua regains it through obedience.

 Paul’s Anchor: Yeshua as “The Last Adam”

1 Corinthians 15:45

“The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.”

Paul identifies Yeshua as the Last Adam, the covenantal replacement who:

• Restores life where Adam brought death (Romans 5:12–19)
• Legally reverses the curse
• Reclaims the kingdom Adam forfeited

This ties directly to Colossians 1:13:

“Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son.”
