Isaiah 24:12

12 The city is left in ruins; its gate is reduced to rubble.

Isaiah 24:12 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 24:12

In the city is left desolation
And nothing else, palaces, houses, and temples burnt, and inhabitants destroyed; none but devils, foul spirits, and hateful and unclean birds, inhabiting it, ( Revelation 18:2 Revelation 18:8 ) : and the gate is smitten with destruction;
or "gates", the singular for the plural; none passing and repassing through them, as formerly, and themselves utterly destroyed. This, according to Kimchi, shall be in the days of the Messiah, in the times of Gog and Magog.

Isaiah 24:12 In-Context

10 The city of chaos is shattered; every house is closed to entry.

11 In the streets they cry out for wine. All joy turns to gloom; rejoicing is exiled from the land.

12 The city is left in ruins; its gate is reduced to rubble.

13 So will it be on the earth and among the nations, like a harvested olive tree, like a gleaning after a grape harvest.

14 They raise their voices, they shout for joy; from the west they proclaim the majesty of the LORD.
