Commentary

Commentary on Isaiah 24:6

Theological / Devotional

The curse devoured. It is not God, but Satan, the instigator of sin, who is responsible for the curse that results from it. Everywhere the forces of evil are at work and everywhere the handiwork of Satan is clearly seen (DA 636; GC 589). In disease and death, in earthquakes and storms, in fires and floods, the work of the evil one is manifest. Transgression of the laws of God has not brought peace and prosperity, but trouble, pestilence, pain, and ultimately death. Burned. Probably under the fourth plague (Rev. 16:8, 9). Few men left. This probably refers to the righteous remnant, who have not fallen under the judgments of God.
