Isaiah 24:3

3 The landscape will be a moonscape, totally wasted. And why? Because God says so. He's issued the orders.

Isaiah 24:3 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 24:3

The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled,
&c.] Entirely emptied of its inhabitants, and wholly spoiled of its riches and substance; this is repeated, and with greater strength, to confirm what is before said, and which receives a greater confirmation by what follows: for the Lord hath spoken this word;
who is able to perform it, and who is faithful to his threatenings, as to his promises; not a word of his shall ever fail; the judgments threatened to the antichristian world are his true and faithful sayings; and the ruin of Rome is certain, because strong is the Lord that judgeth her, ( Revelation 18:8 ) .

Isaiah 24:3 In-Context

1 Danger ahead! God's about to ravish the earth and leave it in ruins, Rip everything out by the roots and send everyone scurrying:
2 Priests and laypeople alike, owners and workers alike, celebrities and nobodies alike, buyers and sellers alike, bankers and beggars alike, the haves and have-nots alike.
3 The landscape will be a moonscape, totally wasted. And why? Because God says so. He's issued the orders.
4 The earth turns gaunt and gray, the world silent and sad, sky and land lifeless, colorless. Earth Polluted by Its Very Own People
5 Earth is polluted by its very own people, who have broken its laws, Disrupted its order, violated the sacred and eternal covenant.
