Ibn Ezra on Isaiah
Moreover the light of the moon, etc. All commentators refer this verse to the Messianic period, to the time of the war of Gog and Magog;38See c. xxiv. Note 18. only R. Moses Hakkohen is of opinion, that all this part of the book39c. xxiv.—xxxv. refers to one and the same event.40To the invasion of Palestine by the Assyrians, and the ultimate destruction of the army of Sennacherib before Jerusalem. We read e. g. in the next chapter (ver 1.): Woe unto them that go down to Egypt; the same we read above (ver. 2).

Ibn Ezra on Isaiah
The meaning of this verse is, that the Lord will increase the light of the moon and sun after the rain in a wonderful way.41The Hebrew text has וזה דבר פלא; lit.: and this is a wonderful thing; but since I. E. does not explain why it is a wonder that the sun shines brighter after the rain than before, it must be referred to the manner in which this prophecy will be fulfilled, especially to the intensity of the light, that it will be sevenfold, etc., and is to be translated, and this will be done in a wonderful way.
