The Lord Will Judge: Isaiah 24:1-23

THE LORD WILL JUDGE

Isaiah 24:1-23
*Isaiah 24 has the end times in view as the entire earth falls under judgment.

I. The Wrath of God (vs. 1-13)
   a. As God’s Judgment is poured out on the earth, what will be affected?

   b. Will position or prestige offer any reprieve from God’s wrath?
     How do you know? _

   c. Why has all this come upon the earth and those that still dwell on it?
  
   d. Will there be any joy, mirth, or merriment in the day described here?

 

II. Let the Redeemed of The Lord Say So (vs. 14-16) (Psalm 107:2)
   a. Verse 14 has a completely different tone. Who would there be that are
    singing for the majesty of the Lord?

   b. Where will these songs come from?

   c. Who is the Object of all this worship?

   d. Will everyone be happy during this time?

 

III. The Lord Will Punish… (vs. 17-23)
   a. What is the intent of the triplet “fear, and the pit, and the snare” in
    verses 17-18?

   b. How will the physical earth be affected during the outpouring of God’s
    wrath?

   c. The host of exalted ones I verse 21 likely refers to the fallen angels.
    Where will they be judged? What about the kings of the earth…where will they be judged?

   d. What is being described in verse 22?

   e. Verse 23 sees Jesus’ reigning on mount Zion. In relation to the time of
    Great Tribulation, when will this occur?

 Application: The great tribulation will see God’s judgment on all who have rejected Christ. Yet even in the midst of tribulation, there will be a faithful remnant that will sing praises to God. How certain can we be that these events will take place as revealed through Isaiah?
