Expositor's Bible Commentary - Isaiah 24:1-23

CHAPTER XXVIIITHE EFFECT OF SIN ON OUR MATERIAL CIRCUMSTANCEDATE UNCERTAINIsaiah 24:1-23THE twenty-fourth of Isaiah is one of those chapters which almost convince the most persevering reader of Scripture that a consecutive reading of the Authorised Version is an impossibility. For what does he get from it but a weary and unintelligent impression of destruction, from which he gladly escapes to the nearest clear utterance of gospel or judgment? Criticism affords little help. It cannot clearly... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Isaiah 24:1-23

CHAPTER 24 The Day of Jehovah 1. Jehovah dealing with the earth(Isaiah 24:1 ) 2. All classes affected (Isaiah 24:2 ) 3. The Desolations described (Isaiah 24:3-12 ) 4. The Jewish Remnant during the trouble (Isaiah 24:13-20 ) 5. The punishment of the high ones and kings (Isaiah 24:21-22 ) 6. Jehovah’s reign in Mount Zion and Jerusalem (Isaiah 24:23 ) A marvellous chapter. Not a word of it has ever been fulfilled. The great day of Jehovah is that day of which Isaiah speaks in chapter... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Isaiah 24:1-23

JUDGMENT ON GENTILE NATIONS This is a long lesson to read, but the study put upon it need not be proportioned to its length. There is a sameness in the chapters, and their contents are not unlike what we reviewed in the preceding lesson. Note the names of the nations and their contiguity to God’s chosen people. They have come in contact with their history again and again, which is why they are singled out for special mention. It will be well here to review what was said about these Gentile... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Isaiah 24:1-23

Self Overthrown Isaiah 24:0 Achapter like this will bear many readings. A quaint commentator has said, "This is gallant rhetoric, compared with which the thunders of Demosthenes are poor stuff." The man who wrote that knew every word that Demosthenes had ever said in his greatest orations. How true it is that there is no eloquence like the eloquence of the Bible! The difficulty is that people will not read it. The twenty-fourth chapter and the twenty-seventh, and all between, should be read at... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 24:16-21

God's people feel their leanness, in times of general calamity. And no doubt, sorrow for sinners, as well as the distress they feel in themselves, have a great tendency to waste, and lower the spirits. When the Lord's judgments are in the earth, the righteous cannot but tremble. Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake; Hebrews 12:21 . read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 24:16-23

16-23 Believers may be driven into the uttermost parts of the earth; but they are singing, not sighing. Here is terror to sinners; the prophet laments the miseries he saw breaking in like a torrent; and the small number of believers. He foresees that sin would abound. The meaning is plain, that evil pursues sinners. Unsteady, uncertain are all these things. Worldly men think to dwell in the earth as in a palace, as in a castle; but it shall be removed like a cottage, like a lodge put up for the... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Isaiah 24:13-23

The Destruction of the Mass of the Earth v. 13. When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the people, as described in the first part of the chapter, there shall be as the shaking of an olive-tree, when the few olives remaining at the close of the harvest are struck down with a stick, and as the gleaning grapes when the vintage is done, for only a small remnant, the true children of God, would be left. v. 14. They shall lift up their voice, namely, those who are delivered in the... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 24:14-23

the Inescapable Penalty of Sin Isaiah 24:14-23 There is always a godly remnant, as we are told in Isaiah 24:13 , remaining in times of shaking, on the topmost boughs. The survivors who had fled across the seas from the judgments, would adore Jehovah for His goodness and mercy. The fires of the East are in contrast to the isles of the West, Isaiah 24:15 . Perhaps they stand for the fires of tribulation, in which we must glorify God. To whatever part of the earth the fugitives fled, they would... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 24:1-23

In these last chapters of the second circle, the prophet takes a still wider outlook. He sees how all the world is under the government of God. In this chapter the prophet states the fact in general terms, and describes a worldwide desolation determined on by Jehovah. This determination is first declared. Jehovah has spoken the word. After having stated this, the prophet describes the visitation following on this determination. The earth itself is seen to mourn and fade away, devoured by a... read more
