Isaiah 66:24 (King James Version)
And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.

- Isaiah has, with singular propriety, been denominated the
- Evangelical Prophet, on account of the number and variety of
- his prophecies concerning the advent and character, the
- ministry and preaching, the sufferings and death, and the
- extensive and permanent kingdom of the Messiah. So explicit
- and determinate are his predictions, as well as so numerous,
- that he seems to speak rather of things past than of events yet
- future; and he may be rather called an evangelist than a
- prophet. Though later critics, especially those on the
- continent, have expended much labour and learning in order to
- rob the prophet of his title; yet no one, whose mind is
- unprejudiced, can be at a loss in applying select portions of
- these prophecies to the mission and character of Jesus Christ,
- and to the events in his history which they are cited to
- illustrate by the sacred writers of the New Testament. In
- fact, his prophecies concerning the Messiah seem almost to
- anticipate the Gospel history; so clearly do they predict his
- Divine character (Compare ch. 7:14 with Mat. 1:18-23 and
- Luke 1:27-35 ch. 6:; 9:6 ; 35:4 ; 40:5 9, ; 19; 42: 6-8; 61:1
- with Luke 4:18 ;ch. 62:11 ; 63:1-4 ;) his miracles, (ch. 35:5 6;)
- his peculiar character and virtues, (ch. 11:2 3; 40:11 ;
- 43:1-3 ;) his rejection, (Compare ch 6:9-12 ; with Mar. 13:14 ;
- ch 7:14 15; 53:3 ;) his sufferings for our sins, (ch. 50:6 ;
- 53:4-11 #53:4-11;)his death and burial, (ch. 53:8 9;) his victory over
- death, ch 25:8 53:10 12;) his final glory, (ch. 49:7 22,
- 33; 52:13-15 ; 53:4 5;) and the establishment, increase, and
- perfection of his kingdom, (ch. 2:2-4 ; 9:2 7; 11:4-10 ; 16:5 ;
- 29:18-24 ; 32:1 ; 40:4 5; 42:4 ; 46:13 ; 49:9-13 ; 51:3-6 ; 53:6-10 ;
- 55:1-3 ; 59:16-21 ; 60:; 61:1-5 ; 65:25 ;) each specifically
- pointed out, and pourtrayed with the most striking and
- discriminating characters. It is impossible, indeed, to
- reflect on these, and on the whole chain of his illustrious
- prophecies, and not be sensible that they furnish the most
- incontestable evidence in support of Christianity. The style
- of Isaiah has been universally admired as the most perfect
- model of elegance and sublimity; and as distinguished for all
- the magnificence, and for all the sweetness of the Hebrew
- language.
