Isaiah 24:1-2a

"Behold, the LORD (Now, remember the word LORD, in the Old Testament, is God the Son, Jehovah.) maketh the earth empty, (Now, we're talking about the whole earth. We're not talking about the land of Israel.) and he maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof. 2. And it shall be, as with the people, (the ordinary run of the mill) so with the priest; as with the servant, so his master; as with the maid, and her mistress; as with the buyer, the seller: the lender, so with the borrower:..." In other words, no one is going to be exempt from this outpouring of God's wrath.


Isaiah 24:3

"The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken this word." Now, here I think the word "land" is referring to the nation of Israel. It's going to be the vortex of all of this coming wrath and judgment. Now, in verse 4 we come to the whole planet.


Isaiah 24:4

"The earth (all of it) mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish." In other words, the super, super rich are not going to be able to escape it with their money. They can build enclaves, and they can build places where they think they are totally safe, but it will never work. They're all going to come under God's judgment.
