Isaia 24:14 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 24:14

They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing
That is, as the Septuagint version adds,

``they that are left upon the earth;''

these shall lift up their voice, in singing the praises of God, for his judgments on Babylon, and avenging the blood of his saints; and for their deliverance and salvation, and the inestimable blessings they are now put into the possession of; these are they, who, having gotten the victory over the beast and his image, sing the song of Moses and the Lamb, ( Revelation 15:2 Revelation 15:3 ) ( Revelation 19:1 Revelation 19:2 ) : for the majesty of the Lord, they shall cry aloud from the sea:
so the Hebrew accents distinguish these clauses; and the sense is, that from the west, as Kimchi and Ben Melech interpret it, from the western nations, where Protestantism chiefly prevails; or from the Mediterranean Sea, which lay west of Judea; from the maritime countries, the countries bordering upon it, where at this time will appear many that will embrace the Gospel of Christ; or from the isles of the sea, as the phrase is explained in the next verse ( Isaiah 24:15 ) , such as our isles of Great Britain and Ireland; great acclamations will be made unto the Lord, on account of his glorious majesty, seen in the destruction of antichrist, and in setting up his own kingdom and glory: these are the four and twenty elders, who will fall down, and give thanks to Christ, for taking to himself his great power, and reigning; and these triumphant and victorious persons are represented as standing on a sea, while they make their shouts and hallelujahs; see ( Revelation 11:16-18 ) ( 15:2 ) this, with what follows in the two next verses ( Isaiah 24:15 Isaiah 24:16 ) , belong to the Philadelphian church state, or spiritual reign of Christ, and express the light and joy that will attend that.

Isaia 24:14 In-Context

12 Nella città non è rimasto altro che la desolazione; e le porte sono rotte e ruinate.

13 Perciocchè avverrà in mezzo del paese, fra i popoli, come quando si scuotono gli ulivi; come, finita la vendemmia, si racimola.

14 Quelli che saran così rimasti alzeranno la lor voce, e canteranno di allegrezza; e strilleranno fin dal mare, per l’altezza del Signore.

15 Perciò, glorificate il Signore nel paese degli Urei, il Nome del Signore Iddio d’Israele nelle isole del mare.

16 Noi abbiamo uditi cantici dall’estremità della terra, che dicevano: Gloria al giusto. Ed io ho detto: Ahi lasso me! ahi lasso me! guai a me! i disleali procedono dislealmente; anzi procedono dislealmente, della dislealtà de’ più disleali.
