Thomas Coke
Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 24:7-9
Isaiah 24:7-9. The new wine mourneth— In this fifth gradation we have a fine and pathetic description of a once flourishing land, entirely ruined and desolated by a destructive enemy. There is no difficulty in the words, nor in the fact, which is most notorious from history; for at this period, says the author of the book of Maccabees, there was so great mourning in Israel, that even every bridegroom took up lamentation, and she that sat in the marriage-chamber was in heaviness: Joy was taken... 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

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. Confusion] or, ’chaos’ (Genesis 1:2), so called because of the desolation awaiting it. No man, etc.] the... read more

(8) The mirth of tabrets . . .—The words point to the processions of women with timbrels (tambourines) and sacred harps or lyres, like those of Exodus 15:20; Judges 11:34; 1 Samuel 18:6, as was customary in seasons of victory. (Comp. the striking parallel of 1Ma. 3:45.) 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
