Isaiah 24:13-15 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

How blessed and gracious this comes in! In the worst of times, there is a remnant according to the election of grace. If the Lord, indeed, had not left us, and did not still leave us, a small remnant we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah. Pray turn to those scriptures, Romans 11:5; Isaiah 65:8. How suitable is it, as the prophet speaks, that this remnant should lift up their voice, and sing redemption! For if the plague be so general, what must be the mercy to escape it? If the world be universally gone to putrefaction, how blessed must it be to be the salt of the earth! Matthew 5:13; Daniel 3:27; Acts 16:24-25.

Isaiah 24:13-15

13 When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the people, there shall be as the shaking of an olive tree, and as the gleaning grapes when the vintage is done.

14 They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the LORD, they shall cry aloud from the sea.

15 Wherefore glorify ye the LORD in the fires,d even the name of the LORD God of Israel in the isles of the sea.
