Judgment on the Whole Earth
Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof. Isaiah 24:1
Will you be part of the remnant? Isaiah 24 is a picture of what happens during the judgment of the earth, when it will be devastated by fire, leaving only a remnant who still find their joy, enough to praise and worship God. Rich and poor will be equally devastated at that time. If this scripture alludes to the final judgment and only a few are left, who are they, and why weren't they raptured? Are they the ones left behind who find Jesus? What is the timeframe for this judgment, and how long will this remnant have to suffer the earth's devastation?
Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left. Isaiah 24:6
Then there is mention of the windows of the earth being opened. The Book of Enoch mentions the windows of the earth, but this is the first time I've noticed it in the canon of scriptures.
And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake. Isaiah 24:18
There are so many things mentioned in this chapter. However, too many people still believe everything they've been told, have their eyes covered, and have their heads in the sand, and the blind are leading the blind, but until we sincerely seek the truth, we won't find it, even though it's written on the pages of scripture.
Just to be clear, there are figures of speech in scripture, prophecies that do not make sense to the natural man, uses of parables to explain happenings, etc., so discernment is the key to understanding. God doesn't always open your mind to clarity until you've grasped other minor truths.
