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 resta che la desolazione, e la porta sfondata cade in rovina.

13 Poiché avviene in mezzo alla terra, fra i popoli, quel che avviene quando si scuoton gli ulivi, quando si racimola dopo la vendemmia.

14 I superstiti alzan la voce, mandan gridi di gioia, acclaman dal mare la maestà dell’Eterno:

15 "Glorificate dunque l’Eterno nelle regioni dell’aurora, glorificate il nome dell’Eterno, l’Iddio d’Israele, nelle isole del mare!

16 Dall’estremità della terra udiam cantare: "Gloria al giusto!" Ma io dico: Ahimè lasso! ahimè lasso! Guai a me! i perfidi agiscono perfidamente, sì, i perfidi raddoppian la perfidia.
