Isaiah sees the end

Isaiah has given Ahaz and Judah a sign

Israel would not be a nation in less than 65 years.

There would be a son born to a virgin

The son would be the Messiah.

He would be the King God promised to David.

His Kingdom would have no equal and would last forever.

His coming would signal God’s judgement on the Jews, but a remnant would be saved.

The Messiah would come as a stumbling stone for all of Judah. However they would have an opportunity to repent.

Isaiah sees final judgment

Isaiah 24:1–6 CSB

1 Look, the Lord is stripping the earth bare and making it desolate. He will twist its surface and scatter its inhabitants: 2 people and priest alike, servant and master, female servant and mistress, buyer and seller, lender and borrower, creditor and debtor. 3 The earth will be stripped completely bare and will be totally plundered, for the Lord has spoken this message. 4 The earth mourns and withers; the world wastes away and withers; the exalted people of the earth waste away. 5 The earth is polluted by its inhabitants, for they have transgressed teachings, overstepped decrees, and broken the permanent covenant. 6 Therefore a curse has consumed the earth, and its inhabitants have become guilty; the earth’s inhabitants have been burned, and only a few survive.

Isaiah 24:19–20 CSB

19 The earth is completely devastated; the earth is split open; the earth is violently shaken. 20 The earth staggers like a drunkard and sways like a hut. Earth’s rebellion weighs it down, and it falls, never to rise again.

God will destroy the earth in judgement.

He will not make a distinction between people according to their position or role.

The earth is polluted by sin, so God will destroy it.

The sin of people has cursed the earth. Sin makes everything disgusting.

God is not going to move His holy people into the lands dwelt by sinners.

2 Peter 3:10 CSB

10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief; on that day the heavens will pass away with a loud noise, the elements will burn and be dissolved, and the earth and the works on it will be disclosed.

Jesus confirms this prophecy to John in the book of Revelation:

Revelation 21:1–2 CSB

1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. 2 I also saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.
