Isaiah 24:13-23

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 24:21

And it shall come to pass in that day ,.... Not at the precise exact time the earth shall be dissolved, but previous to it, within that dispensation that is called the last day: that the Lord shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high ; which is not to be understood of the darkening of the sun, moon, and stars in the heavens, as some; nor of the visiting of angels, as Aben Ezra; nor of the punishment of Satan, and his principalities and powers, who are reserved to the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 24:22

And they shall be gathered together ,.... First to the battle of the great day of God Almighty at Armageddon, Revelation 16:14 and there being overcome and taken, they shall be gathered together as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison ; in the prison or the grave, and in hell; as captives are, till such time as something is determined and ordered what to be done with them: and after many days shall they be visited ; or punished, that is, after the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 24:23

Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed ,.... Either literally understood; and the meaning is, that they shall be darkened, their light being eclipsed by the superior light of Christ, the sun of righteousness; see Matthew 24:29 the New Jerusalem church state, which is referred to, will have no need of the light of the sun, or of the moon, Christ being the light thereof, Revelation 21:23 figuratively it may be interpreted of the kings and great men of the earth, as Aben... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 24:14

They shall lift up their voice "But these shall lift up their voice" - That is, they that escaped out of these calamities.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 24:15

In the isles of the sea "In the distant coasts of the sea" - For בארים beurim , in the valleys, I suppose we ought to read באיים beiyim , in the isles, which is in a great degree justified by the repetition of the word in the next member of the sentence, with the addition of הים haiyam , the sea, to vary the phrase, exactly in the manner of the prophet. איים iyim is a word chiefly applied to any distant countries, especially those lying on the Mediterranean Sea. Others... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 24:16

But I said - The prophet speaks in the person of the inhabitants of the land still remaining there, who should be pursued by Divine vengeance, and suffer repeated distresses from the inroads and depredations of their powerful enemies. Agreeably to what he said before in a general denunciation of these calamities: - "Though there be a tenth part remaining in it; Even this shall undergo a repeated destruction." Isaiah 6:13 ; (note). See the note there. - L. My leanness, my leanness -... read more

Fear, and the pit "The terror, the pit" - If they escape one calamity, another shall overtake them. "As if a man should flee from a lion, and a bear should overtake him: Or should betake himself to his house, and lean his hand on the wall, And a serpent should bite him." Amos 5:19 . read more
