In biblical context, the earth often symbolizes the entirety of creation and humanity's dwelling place. The imagery of the earth being broken apart can be seen as a reversal of the order established in <a href="/genesis/1.htm">Genesis 1</a>, where God created the earth and declared it good. This breaking apart could also be seen as a fulfillment of the curses pronounced in <a href="/deuteronomy/28.htm">Deuteronomy 28</a> for disobedience. Theologically, it reflects the consequences of sin and the ultimate sovereignty of God over creation. This imagery is echoed in <a href="/revelation/6-14.htm">Revelation 6:14</a>, where the sky is rolled up like a scroll, and every mountain and island is removed from its place, indicating a cosmic upheaval.<p><b>the earth is split open</b><br>The splitting open of the earth suggests a cataclysmic event, reminiscent of the judgment seen in the story of Korah's rebellion in <a href="/numbers/16.htm">Numbers 16</a>, where the earth opened its mouth and swallowed the rebels. This phrase can also be connected to the prophetic imagery found in <a href="/zechariah/14-4.htm">Zechariah 14:4</a>, where the Mount of Olives is split in two, creating a vast valley. Such events symbolize divine intervention and judgment. Geographically, the splitting of the earth could be associated with seismic activity, which in ancient times was often interpreted as a sign of divine displeasure or action. This phrase underscores the idea that no part of creation is immune to God's judgment.<p><b>the earth is shaken violently</b><br>The violent shaking of the earth is a common biblical motif used to describe God's powerful presence and judgment. In <a href="/exodus/19-18.htm">Exodus 19:18</a>, Mount Sinai trembles violently when God descends upon it, illustrating His holiness and power. Similarly, in <a href="/haggai/2-6.htm">Haggai 2:6-7</a>, God promises to shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land, as a precursor to the coming of the desired of all nations, which Christians interpret as a reference to Christ. This shaking can also be seen as a type of the final judgment, where everything that can be shaken will be removed, as described in <a href="/hebrews/12-26.htm">Hebrews 12:26-27</a>. Culturally, such imagery would resonate with ancient audiences familiar with the destructive power of earthquakes, serving as a stark reminder of God's ultimate control over creation.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/i/isaiah.htm">Isaiah</a></b><br>The prophet who authored the book, delivering messages of judgment and hope from God to the people of Judah and the surrounding nations.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_earth.htm">The Earth</a></b><br>Represents the physical world and its inhabitants, symbolizing the totality of creation under God's judgment.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/j/judgment_day.htm">Judgment Day</a></b><br>The event prophesied in this chapter, where God executes His righteous judgment upon the earth for its sin and rebellion.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_reality_of_divine_judgment.htm">The Reality of Divine Judgment</a></b><br>God's judgment is a consistent theme throughout Scripture, reminding us of His holiness and justice.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_fragility_of_creation.htm">The Fragility of Creation</a></b><br>The imagery of the earth being broken and shaken highlights the temporary nature of the physical world and the need to focus on eternal matters.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/c/call_to_repentance.htm">Call to Repentance</a></b><br>Understanding the certainty of God's judgment should lead us to repentance and a renewed commitment to live according to His will.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/h/hope_in_god's_sovereignty.htm">Hope in God's Sovereignty</a></b><br>Even amidst judgment, believers can find hope in God's ultimate plan for redemption and restoration through Christ.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/u/urgency_in_evangelism.htm">Urgency in Evangelism</a></b><br>The impending judgment should motivate us to share the Gospel with urgency, knowing that time is limited.<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_isaiah_24_19's_earth_view_plausible.htm">How is Isaiah 24:19’s portrayal of a violently shaken earth consistent with current geological understanding and common sense?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/evidence_for_isaiah_24's_global_ruin.htm">Where is the archaeological or historical evidence for the kind of worldwide ruin and upheaval described in Isaiah 24? </a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_no_record_of_isaiah_24_1's_event.htm">In Isaiah 24:1, how can the entire earth be laid waste and scattered without any historical record of such a global event? </a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/isaiah_54_9-10_vs._flood_data.htm">In Isaiah 54:9-10, how does this compare with geological and archaeological data concerning a worldwide flood and subsequent covenants?</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>(19) <span class= "bld">The earth is utterly broken . . .</span>--We note the characteristic form of Hebrew emphasis in the threefold iteration of "the earth."

There the form (more visibly in the Hebrew than in the English) is a climax representing the three stages of an earthquake: the first cleavage of the ground; the wide open gaping; the final shattering convulsion.
