Rev. Steven Theiss, retired pastor in Frohna, Missouri, joins host Rev. AJ Espinosa to study Isaiah 24.

Chapter 24 is the most Revelation-like and apocalyptic oracle in Isaiah thus far. It amplifies familiar themes to a cosmic scale that we haven’t seen since chapter 13. It doesn’t matter how much money or power you have; the judgment will be truly universal, because humanity has broken God’s universal covenant.The “everlasting covenant” that God made with the world at the creation, the covenant that was renewed after Noah’s flood, meant for us to fillthe earth, to exercise dominion, and to represent God. Because we have instead rallied together to dominate the weak and make gods of ourselves, as we did at the Tower of Babel, God comes to judge heaven and earth. Our first reaction should be to mourn with the rest of the earth and repent for our part in it all, trusting in the mercy of “the Righteous One” who is our sun&moon and king of kings.
