Verse 4
Evidently the whole universe will be involved in this judgment. The sins of nations, and the necessary divine reaction, affect all creation. [Note: John D. W. Watts, Isaiah 34-66, p. 9.] The Lord will roll up the heavens like a scroll that He has finished reading. The sun, moon, and stars will wither and fall like grapes or figs (cf. Matthew 24:29; 2 Peter 3:10; Revelation 6:13-14). This implies also the destruction of the pantheon of gods that these heavenly bodies represented in the ancient world.
