What does Isaiah 24:3 Mean?

Verse Meaning

The repetition of the revelation of this judgment (cf. Isaiah 24:1), with the assurance that the Lord announced it, confirms its certainty (cf. 2 Peter 3:5-7; Revelation 6; Revelation 8-9; Revelation 15-16; Revelation 21:1). The fact of the earth"s destruction, rather than the precise methods and instruments He will use, were the focus of this prophet"s revelation. Later revelation provided more detail. These things would happen simply because the Lord had spoken (cf. Genesis 1:3; Genesis 1:6; Genesis 1:9; Genesis 1:14; Genesis 1:20; Genesis 1:24; Genesis 1:26; Genesis 2:16-17; Genesis 3:14; Genesis 3:16-17; Genesis 3:22).

Context Summary

Isaiah 24:1-13 - The Desolation Of A Guilty World

This and the three following chapters form a single prophecy, describing the calamities about to desolate the land, because the inhabitants had transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. Primarily it describes the experiences of Palestine under the successive invasions from the Euphrates valley, first of Nineveh and then of Babylon. There is a mysterious connection between the condition of a man's soul and the response of surrounding nature. The very vineyards would sigh in sad accord with the prevailing misery and sin, Isaiah 24:7-9; and in the great city silence would reign in streets decimated by plague and war, Isaiah 24:10-12. Both in the Old and the New Testament the blessings of sufficiency and comfort are the fruits of holy living; whereas, sooner or later, evil overtakes wrong-doing. "Trust in the Lord and do good, so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed," is always true. [source]
