Ministry on This Verse

+
 Verses 17-20 give us a graphic description of the terrible overturning of all human order and institutions that lies ahead. Six times in these verses is “the earth” mentioned, referring rather to the established order and world system of things than to the actual earth crust on which we live. All will be violently shaken before they are removed by the presence of the Lord. (Isaiah 24 by F.B. Hole)
