Isaiah 27:13

13. The great trumpet An image taken from the trumpet blown to summon the people to holy convocation. Leviticus 23:24. Jehovah is, as it were, to summon his righteous ones to worship him on Mount Zion.

Ready to perish That is, those who, in the region of the Euphrates, had not enjoyed religious opportunities, and those who, amid national trouble in Judah, had fled in consternation to Egypt. All these shall hear the call to return, and, purified from old vices, with intense zeal to serve Jehovah shall they come.

Thus closes these four chapters respecting the destiny of the true Israel, not alone of Judah, but the sincere and true of all tribes of Israel, who, one after another, were to be gathered as individuals or in colonies to Mount Zion.
