Isaiah 24:20 - Exposition

The earth … shall be removed like a cottage ; rather, sways to and fro like a hammock , Rosenmüller observes, " Alludit ad pensiles lectos, quos, metu ferrarum, in arboribus sibi parare solent, istis in terris, non custodes solum hortorum camporumve, sed et iter facientes ." The transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it ; i.e. the earth perishes on account of men's sins. It shall fall, and not rise again . The present earth is to disappear altogether, and to be superseded by "a new heaven and a new earth" ( Revelation 21:1 ).
