What is the meaning of "Shamayim k'Ashan Nimlachu"?

1.

Rashi #1: The officers of the legions of Nochrim in Shamayim will wither. This is like "Sechavos u'Vloyei Melachim" (Yirmeyah 38:11) - a destroyed garment.

2.

Rashi #2: [Sarei Nochrim in Shamayim] were perturbed. This is like Melachei ha'Yam - they perturb the water via oars used to conduct the ship. The same applies to "Memulach Tahor Kodesh" (Shemos 30:35).

6)

What do we learn from "vi'Yeshu'asi l'Olam Tihyeh"?

1.

R. Yonah (Mishlei 3:26): An aspect of Bitachon is knowing that everything is in Shamayim's hands. He can save from any affliction, instantly. One should hope to him even if a sword is on his neck. He can change nature and switch Mazalos - "Ein la'Shem Matzor Lehoshi'a b'Rav Oh vi'M'at" (Shmuel I, 14:6).
