Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 24:1-23

Isaiah 24. A World-wide Judgment Foretold.— The apocalypse opens with the description of a judgment on the whole world. This judgment is predicted, it has not already happened. It will involve all in one common ruin, every distinction of class will be obliterated. For the world’ s inhabitants have broken the covenant made with Noah, in which bloodshed was forbidden ( Genesis 9:5 f.). On bloodshed the huge empires have been founded and they shall perish in the blood they have spilt. Few men... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 24:1-23

Isaiah 24:17 . Fear, and the pit. This is a figure of hunting, the wild beasts being chased into pits dug in narrow passages, and covered with green branches. So the great ones should be caught, by the great one of Assyria. Isaiah 24:21 . The host of the high ones on high. Priests and princes are here to be understood. The apostle Paul might have this in view, when he speaks of wrestling against spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6:0. Origen dreams here of the souls of men,... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Isaiah 24:19

Isa 24:19 The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly. Ver. 19. The earth is utterly broken down. ] This he had said before. Oil, if not well rubbed in, pierceth not the skin. Menaces must be inculcated, or else they will be but little regarded.

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 24:17-20

17-20. The foundations… do shake From the statement of these verses it would look as if the new view of the prophet was but a sudden shift in an ecstatic scene. The rush of invaders and the fleeing of the pursued are represented by images taken from the deluge and geologic earthquakes. The final scene is apocalyptic, and the earth is removed from existence. read more
