These Ten Assyrian Kings are the only kings of Assyria that ever had a chance to put a burden on Israel after Isaiah began his ministry.

Isa 14:24 The LORD Almighty has sworn, “Surely, as I have planned, so it will be, and as I have purposed, so it will stand.
Isa 14:25 I will crush the Assyrian in my land; on my mountains I will trample him down. His yoke will be taken from my people, and his burden removed from their shoulders.”

Which one of these Assyrian kings did the Lord crush and trample down on the mountains of Israel? None of them; as shown earlier, only one of these kings died in Israel, and none on the mountains of Israel. If the passage has not yet been fulfilled, then this sworn prophetic statement is still to be fulfilled. Are there any prophecies about anyone being crushed, trampled down, destroyed or coming to their end, on Mount Zion? As we have read, the antichrist, the false prophet and the Assyrian army. So here we have a prophecy of an Assyrian king that is going to be trampled down by the Lord on the mountains of Israel. We have the Assyrian army that is to be destroyed in the valley of Ben Hinnom. Looking up from that valley to Mount Zion, we have the antichrist. The antichrist is a king that travels with his armies. Here we have the Antichrist, who will be the king of Assyria, with all his armies encamped all around his royal tents. They are on Mount Zion and its heights... The antichrist who will be the king of Assyria fits all the requirements for the prophecy:

1) The crushing of the Assyrian in the LORD’s land
2) The trampling down of the Assyrian on the LORD’s mountains
3) The Assyrian kings yoke taken from the LORD’s people
4) The Assyrian king’s burden being taken from His people’s shoulders

Isa 14:24 The LORD Almighty has sworn, “Surely, as I have planned, so it will be, and as I have purposed, so it will stand.
Isa 14:25 I will crush the Assyrian in my land; on my mountains I will trample him down. His yoke will be taken from my people, and his burden removed from their shoulders.”

The antichrist with his armies will be encamped at Mount Zion. The LORD will come down from heaven and the Israelites will be freed from the burden and yoke of the antichrist, and so he fulfills all the requirements of this prophecy.

Isa 31:4 This is what the LORD says to me: “As a lion growls, a great lion over his prey—and though a whole band of shepherds is called together against him, he is not frightened by their shouts or disturbed by their clamor— so the LORD Almighty will come down to do battle on Mount Zion and on its heights.
Isa 31:5 Like birds hovering overhead, the LORD Almighty will shield Jerusalem; he will shield it and deliver it, he will ‘pass over’ it and will rescue it.”
Isa 3l:6 Return to him you have so greatly revolted against, O Israelites.
Isa 31:7 For in that day every one of you will reject the idols of silver and gold your sinful hands have made.
Isa 31:8 Assyria will fall by a sword that is not of man; a sword, not of mortals, will devour them. They will flee before the sword and their young men will be put to forced labor.
Isa 30:30 The LORD will cause men to hear his majestic voice and will make them see his arm coming down with raging anger and consuming fire, with cloudburst, thunderstorm and hail.
Isa 30:31 The voice of the LORD will shatter Assyria; with his scepter he will strike them down.
Isa 30:32 Every stroke the LORD lays on them with his punishing rod will be to the music of tambourines and harps, as he fights them in battle with the blows of his arm.
Isa 30:33 Topheth has long been prepared; it has been made ready for the king. Its fire pit has been made deep and wide, with an abundance of fire and wood; the breath of the LORD, like a stream of burning sulfur, sets it ablaze.
