Isaiah 34:2 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 34:2

For the indignation of the Lord [is] upon all nations
All the nations of the earth, which have committed fornication with the whore of Rome, or have given in to her false worship, superstition, and idolatry; which is the reason of God's wrath and indignation against them, and of such severe punishment being inflicted on them; see ( Revelation 18:3 ) : and [his] fury upon all their armies;
the armies of the kings of the earth, gathered together at Armageddon, to make war with Christ, and those that follow him; see ( Revelation 16:14 Revelation 16:16 ) ( 19:19 ) : he hath utterly destroyed them;
not only devoted them to destruction, but actually destroyed them, with "Cherem", an utter destruction; one of the words of which Armageddon is compounded, and so points at the place, as well as the nature and manner, of the destruction: he hath delivered them to slaughter;
to be slain with the sword of him that sitteth on the white horse, which proceeds out of his mouth, ( Revelation 19:21 ) .

Isaiah 34:2 In-Context

1 Draw in close now, nations. Listen carefully, you people. Pay attention! Earth, you too, and everything in you. World, and all that comes from you.

2 And here's why: God is angry, good and angry with all the nations, So blazingly angry at their arms and armies that he's going to rid earth of them, wipe them out.

3 The corpses, thrown in a heap, will stink like the town dump in midsummer, Their blood flowing off the mountains like creeks in spring runoff.

4 Stars will fall out of the sky like overripe, rotting fruit in the orchard, And the sky itself will be folded up like a blanket and put away in a closet. All that army of stars, shriveled to nothing, like leaves and fruit in autumn, dropping and rotting!

5 "Once I've finished with earth and sky, I'll start in on Edom. I'll come down hard on Edom, a people I've slated for total termination."
