In biblical times, the east often referred to areas such as Mesopotamia, Persia, and beyond. This call to glorify God in the east may indicate the universal scope of God's sovereignty and the spread of His worship beyond the borders of Israel. It reflects the prophetic vision of God's glory being recognized worldwide, as seen in passages like <a href="/malachi/1-11.htm">Malachi 1:11</a>, which speaks of God's name being great among the nations. The use of "therefore" connects this call to the preceding context of judgment and redemption, emphasizing that God's ultimate plan includes the acknowledgment of His glory by all peoples.<p><b>Extol the name of the LORD,</b><br>To "extol" means to praise enthusiastically, suggesting a deep, heartfelt worship. The "name of the LORD" represents His character, authority, and reputation. In Hebrew culture, a name was more than just an identifier; it encapsulated the essence of a person. Extolling God's name involves recognizing His attributes such as holiness, justice, mercy, and love. This phrase calls believers to lift up God's name in worship, acknowledging His supreme authority and goodness. It aligns with the biblical theme of God's name being exalted, as seen in Psalms 34:3 and <a href="/philippians/2-9.htm">Philippians 2:9-11</a>, where every knee will bow to the name of Jesus.<p><b>the God of Israel</b><br>Referring to God as "the God of Israel" highlights His covenant relationship with the nation of Israel. This title emphasizes God's faithfulness to His chosen people and His role as their protector and redeemer. It also serves as a reminder of the historical acts of deliverance and provision God performed for Israel, such as the Exodus from Egypt. This designation underscores the continuity of God's promises and His unfolding plan of salvation, which began with Israel and extends to all nations through Jesus Christ, the fulfillment of the Abrahamic covenant (<a href="/galatians/3-14.htm">Galatians 3:14</a>).<p><b>in the islands of the sea.</b><br>The "islands of the sea" likely refer to distant lands and peoples across the Mediterranean and beyond, symbolizing the far reaches of the earth. This phrase indicates the expansive reach of God's glory and the call for all nations, even those far removed from Israel, to worship Him. It reflects the prophetic vision of a time when God's kingdom will encompass all nations, as seen in <a href="/isaiah/42-10.htm">Isaiah 42:10</a> and <a href="/revelation/7-9.htm">Revelation 7:9</a>, where people from every tribe and tongue worship before God's throne. This global perspective reinforces the theme of God's universal reign and the ultimate fulfillment of His redemptive plan through Christ, who commissions His followers to make disciples of all nations (<a href="/matthew/28-19.htm">Matthew 28:19</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD</a></b><br>The central figure in this verse, the LORD is the God of Israel, deserving of glory and worship.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_east.htm">The East</a></b><br>This refers to the regions east of Israel, possibly indicating the lands where the sun rises, symbolizing the spread of God's glory.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_islands_of_the_sea.htm">The Islands of the Sea</a></b><br>These are distant lands, possibly referring to the far reaches of the known world at the time, indicating the universal scope of God's glory.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_god_of_israel.htm">The God of Israel</a></b><br>This title emphasizes God's covenant relationship with Israel, highlighting His faithfulness and sovereignty.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/i/isaiah.htm">Isaiah</a></b><br>The prophet who delivered this message, calling for the glorification of God amidst judgment and hope.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/u/universal_call_to_worship.htm">Universal Call to Worship</a></b><br>The call to glorify the LORD in the east and the islands signifies that worship is not confined to Israel but is a universal mandate for all peoples.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_sovereignty_and_faithfulness.htm">God's Sovereignty and Faithfulness</a></b><br>Recognizing God as the "God of Israel" reminds us of His covenant faithfulness and sovereignty over all nations.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/m/missionary_impulse.htm">Missionary Impulse</a></b><br>The mention of distant lands encourages believers to participate in global missions, spreading the knowledge of God's glory to all corners of the earth.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/p/praise_in_all_circumstances.htm">Praise in All Circumstances</a></b><br>Even in the context of judgment, as seen in <a href="/bsb/isaiah/24.htm">Isaiah 24</a>, believers are called to glorify God, trusting in His ultimate plan and purpose.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/c/cultural_and_geographical_inclusivity.htm">Cultural and Geographical Inclusivity</a></b><br>The inclusion of diverse regions highlights the inclusivity of God's kingdom, inviting all cultures and peoples to worship Him.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_isaiah_24.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Isaiah 24</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/is_nudity_allowed_in_heaven.htm">Is nudity allowed in heaven?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_is_wisdom_and_revelation.htm">What is Tyre's significance in the Bible?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_did_poverty_exist_despite_deut._15_4.htm">Deuteronomy 15:4 promises no poverty if God's commands are followed--why did poverty still exist among Israelites historically?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_defines_spiritual_presence.htm">What defines spiritual presence?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/isaiah/24.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(15) <span class= "bld">Wherefore glorify ye the Lord in the fires.</span>--The last word, which is identical in form with the Urim of the high priest's breastplate, has been very differently interpreted:--(1) Taking it in the sense of "light," it has been taken as meaning the east, as contrasted with the "isles of the sea" as a synonym for the west, and so standing parallel to the familiar phrase "from the rising of the sun to the going down of the same" (<a href="/malachi/1-11.htm" title="For from the rising of the sun even to the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered to my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, said the LORD of hosts.">Malachi 1:11</a>; <a href="/isaiah/59-19.htm" title="So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.">Isaiah 59:19</a>), and, we may add, to the like formula in Assyrian inscriptions, <span class= "ital">e.g., </span>that of Esarhaddon (<span class= "ital">Records of the Past, </span>iii. 111). So Homer, <span class= "ital">"</span>the dawn and the sun" (<span class= "ital">Il, </span>xii. 239) as a phrase for the East; and our Orient and East have substantially the same significance. (2) It has been rendered simply "regions," or "countries" (Cheyne). (3) It has been interpreted of the "fiery trial" of tribulation, or of the "light" of Divine truth. Of these, (1) has the merit of being more in harmony with the primary meaning of the word, and giving a more vivid antithesis. The "isles of the sea" we have met in <a href="/isaiah/11-11.htm" title="And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.">Isaiah 11:11</a>.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/isaiah/24.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 15.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Wherefore glorify ye the Lord in the fires.</span> The reading <span class="accented">baiyyim</span>, "in the fires," is doubtful.
