What does Isaiah 24:12 mean?
John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
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.
