Guiding Questions: Isaiah 24

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

  1. Would the scattering of all people and total leveling of all classes of society imply a “judgment”?
  2. Does the reference to “haaretz” appear to be political or universal — that is, the judgment of the earth?
  3. How do Isaiah 24:7-8 describe the overarching sadness?
  4. Would Isaiah 24:13, describing that “thus it would be among all of the peoples”, support the idea that what is being described is “universal judgment”?
  5. How does the end of Isaiah 24:18 recall a destruction described in the early part of Bereshit?
  6. At the end of Isaiah 24:20 a phrase appears which surfaces elsewhere in text. To whom or what is it applied in the other source?
  7. Does Isaiah 24:21 indicate that the “judgment day” is limited to the earthbound?
  8. According to Isaiah 24:23, who, then, is king in Zion?
