Study Note
The apocalyptic opening of Isaiah's 'little apocalypse' (chapters 24-27) declares that God will make the earth empty, waste, and overturn it, scattering its inhabitants. Unlike the earlier oracles against specific nations (chapters 13-23), Isaiah 24 universalizes judgment — 'the earth' (eretz) here likely means the entire known world, not merely Palestine. The verse inaugurates a section that is among the closest Old Testament parallels to New Testament apocalyptic, describing cosmic upheaval, the imprisonment of heavenly powers (24:21), and divine kingship on Zion (24:23). Revelation draws heavily on Isaiah 24-27 for its own imagery of cosmic judgment and eschatological restoration.
