Isaiah 23-28

• Empty the earth (24:1) - is this a term to break up Israel ("he will twist its surface and scatter its inhabitants"), or Judgment day as we know it? If it is the latter, inhabitants would not scatter, but perish?
  
• There are no exception (v2) - all will be part of the Judgment
• The reason for Judgment: "The earth lies defiled under its inhabitants; for they have transgressed the laws, violated the statutes, broken the everlasting covenant." (v5)
• The severity of the punishments (v7-9)

• Glorifies and praises God (25:1)
• God is almighty (v2)
• People should submit to him because we are powerless compared to God (v3-5)
• God loves and brings salvation (v8-9)

Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD GOD is an everlasting rock.

-- Isaiah 26:4

• For he has humbled the inhabitants of the height, the lofty city (v5) - Reminds me where Jesus has said: those who are humble will be exalted, those who exalt themselves will be humbled.
  
• Patiently wait (v8)
• God will justly punish (v10)
• Other gods compared to you is not a living god like our God (v13-14)
• Telling the message of repentance (v20-21)

• Leviathan (?) (27:1)
• Israel will be return and bear fruit to the whole world (v6) - refers to Israel as God's people(?)

• What is "LORD of hosts"? (28:5)
