Isa. 24:1–27:13 The third and climactic vision of God ruling the nations in judgment and salvation. These chapters foresee the whole world in crisis at the end of history, but God’s people are wonderfully secured in their own city (see 24:4; 25:8; 26:19; 27:6).
Isa. 24:1 Behold, the Lord. The first impression conveyed by the vision is the active presence of God. scatter. The same Hebrew word as “dispersed” in the story of Babel (Gen. 11:4, 8, 9). Recalling Babel, Isaiah foresees a final judgment of human independence.
Isa. 24:5 The earth lies defiled . . . for they have transgressed the laws. Human sin pollutes the world (see Num. 35:34). violated the statutes. Judgment comes as the world defies God’s revealed will. the everlasting covenant. Perhaps the covenant given through Noah (Gen. 9:16), which applies to all mankind; or the covenant with the house of David (2 Sam. 23:5; Isa. 55:3), through which all mankind will be blessed.
Isa. 24:10 The wasted city. The city is an important image in this section (see v. 12; 25:2; 26:1–2; 5; 27:10). Isaiah sees world culture as a city because it is a populated place of imagined safety. “Wasted” is translated “without form” in Gen. 1:2. The world city of human civilization, though highly developed, rejects the will of God and thus wastes its own potential.
Isa. 24:14–16 The drunken binge of vv. 7–11 is replaced with the joyful worship of those redeemed from the world.
Isa. 24:16 Woe is me! The prophet laments the betrayal of the world (see 6:5; 21:2–4).
Isa. 24:21 On that day. The focal point toward which God is leading history, mentioned seven times in this section (v. 21; 25:9; 26:1; 27:1; 2; 12; 13).
Isa. 24:23 The moon and sun are outshone by the glory of the Lord of hosts reigning in triumph forever from his city, Jerusalem on Mount Zion. For “Lord of hosts,” see note on 1 Sam. 1:3.
