Isaiah 24:22 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 24:22

And they shall be gathered together
First to the battle of the great day of God Almighty at Armageddon, ( Revelation 16:14 Revelation 16:16 ) ( Revelation 19:19 ) and there being overcome and taken, they shall be gathered together [as] prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the
prison;
in the prison or the grave, and in hell; as captives are, till such time as something is determined and ordered what to be done with them: and after many days shall they be visited;
or punished, that is, after the thousand years are ended, when the wicked dead will be all raised; after the battle of Gog and Magog, when Satan, the beast, and false prophet, and all their adherents, shall be cast into the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, ( Revelation 19:20 Revelation 19:21 ) ( Revelation 20:5 Revelation 20:8-10 ) .
