Isaiah 24 - Day 511 (link to today's reading)
Scripture: Isaiah 24:6-13 Commentary: Because people have “defiled” the earth by their sins (v. 5), judgment will come. They must bear the consequences of their guilt. God’s judgment is likened to a burning fire that consumes all but a few on the earth (v. 6). In the earth’s devastation vineyards will wither and music (with tambourines and harps) and parties (vv. 7–9, 11) will stop. The fruit of the vine is often associated in the Bible with joy (e.g., 16:9; Zech. 10:7). The … city (Isa. 24:10; cf. 25:2), representative of the whole earth (24:13), will be in ruins with all its houses uninhabited. When God pours out His wrath on the unbelieving world in the Tribulation, all will be desolate and gloomy. Little will be left, as after the harvesting of olives (cf. 17:6) or grapes. Martin, J. A. (1985). Isaiah. In J. F. Walvoord & R. B. Zuck (Eds.), The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures (Vol. 1, p. 1072). Victor Book Application: Our sins separate us from God. Isaiah faithfully relayed this same message for over 60 years, in spite of the Israelite's disobedience. Sixty years is a long time. Prayer: Lord, teach me to love people as much as You do...
