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'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

The Word of Judgment Continues But Yahweh Will Triumph With His People (Isaiah 24:16-23 ). Analysis. a ‘From the uttermost part of the earth we have heard songs, “Glory to the Righteous One” (Isaiah 24:16 a). b But I said, “Leanness to me, (i.e. ‘I waste away’), leanness to me, woe is me for betrayers betray, yes, with betrayal the betrayers betray”. Fear and the pit and the snare are on you, O inhabitant of the earth (Isaiah 24:16-17). c And it will come about that he who flees from... read more

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

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 24:23

The moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed. The sun and moon are here considered either, 1. As they were abused to idolatry; for these two were most eminent idols, and most generally worshipped, especially in those Eastern countries, Deuteronomy 4:19; Deuteronomy 17:3; Job 31:26, &c., and so may be put for all idols, which were confounded by Christ at his coming, as was foretold in Scripture, and verified by the testimony of ancient, yea, even of heathen historians. Or, 2. As they... read more

Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the Lord of hosts shall reign in Mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his antients, gloriously.THE chapter before us seems to refer to the destruction of the Jewish Church and polity by the Chaldeans. But it looks forward, also, to their restoration, and to the establishment of the Messiah’s empire consequent upon it. Of that period it is delightful to speak: for, in fact,... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Isaiah 24:1-23

Chapter 24Now as we get into chapter 24, we get into, really, things that the earth will be facing very soon, because we get into things that will be happening during the Great Tribulation as the Lord is preparing the earth for the return of Jesus Christ. Purging the earth before the return in His second coming.Behold, the LORD makes the earth empty, he makes it waste, and turns it upside down, and scatters abroad the inhabitants thereof ( Isaiah 24:1 ).Now this sounds like it could refer to a... 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
