The Inescapable Penalty Of Sin. Isa 24:14-23
II. THE BURDENS OF THE NATIONS, Isaiah 13-27
World-Judgment and the Redemption of Judah, Isaiah 24-27
21. Why is the penalty of sin inescapable?
JUDGMENT ON THE WHOLE EARTH
They [who have escaped and remain] raise their voices, they shout for joy; They rejoice from the [Mediterranean] Sea in the majesty of the LORD.
Therefore honor and glorify the LORD in the east [in the region of light], The name of the LORD, the God of Israel [honor His name], In the coastlands and islands of the [Mediterranean] Sea.
From the ends of the earth we hear songs, “Glory and honor to the Righteous One,” But I say, “I waste away, I waste away. Woe to me! The treacherous deal treacherously, Indeed, the treacherous deal very treacherously.”
Terror and pit [of destruction] and snare Confront you, O inhabitant of the earth.
Then it will be that he who flees at the sound of terror will fall into the pit, And he who comes up out of the pit will be caught in the snare; For the windows of heaven are opened, and the foundations of the earth tremble.
The earth is broken completely apart, The earth is split apart, The earth is shaken violently.
The earth reels back and forth like a drunkard And sways like a shack; Its transgression lies heavily upon it, And it will fall and not rise again.
So it will happen in that day That the LORD will visit and punish the host (fallen angels) of heaven on high, And the kings of the earth on the earth. [1Co_15:25; Eph_3:10; Eph_6:12]
They will be gathered together As prisoners [are gathered] in a dungeon; They will be shut up in prison, And after many days they will be visited and punished. [Zec_9:11-12; 2Pe_2:4; Jud_1:6]
Then the full moon will be embarrassed and the sun ashamed, For the LORD of hosts will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, And His glory and brilliance will shine before His elders.

THE INESCAPABLE PENALTY OF SIN
There is always a godly remnant, as we are told in Isa_24:13, remaining in times of shaking, on the topmost boughs. The survivors who had fled across the seas from the judgments, would adore Jehovah for His goodness and mercy.
The fires of the East are in contrast to the isles of the West, Isa_24:15. Perhaps they stand for the fires of tribulation, in which we must glorify God. To whatever part of the earth the fugitives fled, they would be compelled to acknowledge the glory of righteousness, or perhaps of the Righteous One. The dispersion of the Church in the early days carried the message and music of the gospel everywhere. Though we may travel to the limits of sorrow, let us glorify our God.
Note the instability of all earthly things, Isa_24:18, etc. Woe to those who trust in them! Remember to build within the borders of the everlasting kingdom of Heb_12:23-28. When all the world kingdoms are destroyed, that of Israel, God’s ancient choice, shall stand, Isa_24:23. May we as the brethren of the King share His glory and reign with Him in those great coming days! In the meanwhile glorify Him in the skies.
