Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 24:5-6

Isaiah 24:5-6. The earth also Rather, And the land is defiled under the inhabitants thereof By the wickedness of its people. Here we have the causes of the divine judgment upon the land: because they have transgressed the laws The laws of God revealed to them, and pressed upon them in a singular manner; changed the ordinance God’s ordinances concerning his worship and service; broken the everlasting covenant The covenant made between God and Abraham, and all his posterity, which... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 24:1-23

24:1-27:13 FINAL JUDGMENT AND SALVATIONThe judgment of various contemporary nations leads the prophet to consider God’s final great judgment on the world. Naturally, his illustrations are taken from the world that he knew, and the nations he mentions are those of his time, but the principles of judgment and salvation that he presents are those of the unchangeable God. They will find their fullest expression in God’s mighty triumph at the end of the world’s history.Some will mourn, others... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 24:5

Isaiah 24:5. The earth also is defiled, &c.— This verse describes, as in a parenthesis, the causes of the divine judgment upon the land, and shews us the true scene of the prophesy: the principal cause is the shedding of innocent blood, as well of their brethren, as of the professors of the true religion, against all laws human and divine, and the common rights of nature and nations; for this is the import of the expression, The earth is foully polluted under the inhabitants thereof. See... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 24:1-20

The preservation of God’s people within a world under divine judgment 24:1-20Isaiah revealed that the Lord’s people are at the center of His plans for the world (cf. Isaiah 14:2; Isaiah 21:10). He will preserve them even though He will judge sinful humanity. It is believers who will be living on the earth during the Lord’s devastation of this planet that are in view (Tribulation saints), not Christians living before the Tribulation who will be taken to heaven in the Rapture before the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 24:5

Sinful humankind has corrupted its environment. Humans refused to live by divine revelation, introduced an innovative morality, and refused to walk in fellowship with God as He specified in the biblical covenants (cf. Genesis 2:16-17; Genesis 3:1-6; Genesis 9:12; Genesis 9:16; Leviticus 24:8; 2 Samuel 23:5; Psalms 105:10; Romans 1-3).". . . human beings in sin are the supreme environmental threat."

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 24:1-13

The Coming Judgment and Establishment of Jehovah’s KingdomThe subject is the overthrow of a power hostile to God’s people, with a description of the deliverance of the Jews and their future glory. The hostile power is not named, and the tone of the whole prophecy is so general that it is impossible to assign it to any occasion. With the anticipated overthrow of the enemy the prophet associates in thought Jehovah’s final judgment of the world. Most modern scholars assign this whole section to a... read more

2. All class distinctions are obliterated and confused. 5. Defiled] i.e. desecrated by bloodshed (Numbers 35:33). Everlasting covenant] The phrase seems to allude to Genesis 9:16, the covenant with Noah and his sons. The bloodshed, upon which the great world-empires were founded, was a violation of this primitive covenant.7-9. The meaning is that every form of enjoyment has ceased. 10.
