Isaiah 24:13 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 24:13-15

Here is mercy remembered in the midst of wrath. In Judah and Jerusalem, and the neighbouring countries, when they are overrun by the enemy, Sennacherib or Nebuchadnezzar, there shall be a remnant preserved from the general ruin, and it shall be a devout and pious remnant. And this method God usually observes when his judgments are abroad; he does not make a full end, Isa. 6:13. Or we may take it thus: Though the greatest part of mankind have all their comfort ruined by the emptying of the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 24:13

When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the people ,.... When the above judgments shall be executed, the city of Rome shall be destroyed, and the vials of God's wrath are poured but on all the antichristian states, on all the followers of the beast, throughout the whole Romish jurisdiction: there shall be as the shaking of an olive tree, and as the gleaning of grapes, when the vintage is done ; as when an olive tree is shaken, or beaten with a staff, which was the usual... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 24:1-20

God's final judgment upon the earth. In striking contrast with man's self-complacent theories of continual progress and improvement in the world, resulting in something like the final perfection of our race, is God's prophetic announcement that, as the years roll on, mankind will go from bad to worse, plunge deeper and deeper into wickedness, bring calamity after calamity upon themselves, and finally so provoke him that he will destroy the very earth itself as " defiled ' by its... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 24:1-23

Prophecy of judgment. The difficulties, historically considered, of this chapter must be left to the exegete. We concern ourselves with the larger sense it contains of a prophecy of a judgment upon the whole world. I. THE APPROACHING DESOLATION . ( Isaiah 24:1-3 .) The figures of emptying , draining , are employed to denote the utter depopulation and impoverishment of the earth; also that of turning upside down , to denote disorganization and demoralization in every civil... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 24:13

When thus it shall be ; rather, for so shall it be . In the time described the condition of the earth shall be like to that of an olive-ground when the beating is done, or of a vineyard when (he grapes are gathered. That is, a small and scattered remnant of inhabitants shall alone be left, like the few grapes and olives that were the portion of the gleaners (cf. Isaiah 17:6 ). There shall be. These words are not needed, and should be erased. The nexus is, "so it shall be as the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 24:13

The mission of remnants. Explaining the figure used in this verse, Thomson says, "Early in autumn the olive berries begin to drop of themselves, or are shaken off by the wind. They are allowed to remain under the trees for some time, guarded by the watchman of the town—a very familiar Bible character. Then a proclamation is made by the governor that all who have trees go out and pick what has fallen. Previous to this, not even the owners are allowed to gather olives in the groves. This... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 24:13-16

The voice of the chastened. We learn— I. THAT GOD TEMPERS JUDGMENT WITH MERCY . ( Isaiah 24:13 .) There will be some fruit spared, though the olive tree be terribly shaken, though the grapes have been gathered. All will not be taken from the holy land; a remnant shall be left. Though God strip a man or a nation of his (its) resources, yet will he leave him (it) a remainder, something to console him, something with which he may start anew. A starry night succeeds a stormy... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 24:13

In the midst of the land - That is, in the midst of the land of Canaan.There shall be as the shaking of an olive-tree - A few shall be left, as in gathering olives a few will remain on the highest and outermost boughs (see the notes at Isaiah 17:5-6). read more

Isaiah 24:13-14. When thus it shall be in the midst of the land, &c. When this judgment shall be executed, there shall he left a remnant; as there are some few olives or grapes left after the vintage is over. They shall lift up their voice, &c. The remnant shall sing for the glorious power and goodness of God manifested in their deliverance. They shall cry aloud In a way of exultation and thanksgiving to God; from the sea From the isles of the sea, as it is expressed in... read more
