This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Isa 24:1-23. The last times of the world in general, and of Judah and the church in particular.
The four chapters (the twenty-fourth through the twenty-seventh) form one continuous poetical prophecy: descriptive of the dispersion and successive calamities of the Jews (Isa 24:1-12); the preaching of the Gospel by the first Hebrew converts throughout the world (Isa 24:13-16); the judgments on the adversaries of the Church and its final triumph (Isa 24:16-23); thanksgiving for the overthrow of the apostate faction (Isa 25:1-12), and establishment of the righteous in lasting peace (Isa 26:1-21); judgment on leviathan and entire purgation of the Church (Isa 27:1-13). Having treated of the several nations in particular - Babylon, Philistia, Moab, Syria, Israel, Egypt, Edom, and Tyre (the miniature representative of all, as all kingdoms flocked into it) - he passes to the last times of the world at large and of Judah the representative and future head of the churches.
the earth - rather, “the land” of Judah (so in Isa 24:3, Isa 24:5, Isa 24:6; Joe 1:2). The desolation under Nebuchadnezzar prefigured that under Titus.
