In biblical literature, the heavens often symbolize God's domain and authority. The trembling of the heavens suggests a significant, awe-inspiring event orchestrated by God. This imagery is consistent with other prophetic texts, such as <a href="/joel/2-10.htm">Joel 2:10</a> and <a href="/haggai/2-6.htm">Haggai 2:6</a>, where cosmic disturbances accompany divine judgment. It underscores God's sovereignty over all creation and His power to alter the natural order.<p><b>and the earth will be shaken from its place</b><br>The shaking of the earth signifies a profound disruption of the established world order. This imagery is often used in the Bible to describe God's judgment and the resulting upheaval (see <a href="/psalms/18-7.htm">Psalm 18:7</a> and <a href="/hebrews/12-26.htm">Hebrews 12:26-27</a>). It reflects the idea that God's wrath can dismantle human structures and systems, emphasizing His ultimate control over the physical world. This shaking can also be seen as a precursor to the establishment of a new order under God's reign.<p><b>at the wrath of the LORD of Hosts</b><br>The term "LORD of Hosts" refers to God's role as the commander of heavenly armies, highlighting His might and authority. The wrath of God is a recurring theme in the Old Testament, representing His righteous anger against sin and injustice. This wrath is not arbitrary but is a response to human rebellion and idolatry. The phrase underscores the seriousness of divine judgment and the inevitability of its execution against those who oppose God's will.<p><b>on the day of His burning anger</b><br>The "day of His burning anger" is a reference to the "Day of the Lord," a concept found throughout the prophetic books (e.g., <a href="/zephaniah/1-14.htm">Zephaniah 1:14-18</a>, <a href="/amos/5-18.htm">Amos 5:18-20</a>). This day is characterized by God's decisive intervention in human history to judge the wicked and vindicate the righteous. The imagery of burning anger conveys the intensity and purity of God's judgment, which consumes all that is opposed to His holiness. This phrase serves as a warning of the ultimate accountability all creation has before God.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/i/isaiah.htm">Isaiah</a></b><br>A major prophet in the Old Testament, Isaiah is the author of the book that bears his name.

Isaiah may, perhaps, pass here from signs connected with the fall of Babylon to those which will announce the last (lay - each "day of the Lord" being, as already observed, a type of the final and great day (see the comment on ver. 6). Or, possibly, the allusion may be to some "shaking" by God of a supra-mundane kingdom as preliminary to his passing judgment on Babylon (so Dr. Kay; comp. <a href="/isaiah/24-21.htm">Isaiah 24:21</a>). <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/isaiah/13-13.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">Therefore</span><br /><span class="heb">עַל־</span> <span class="translit">(‘al-)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5921.htm">Strong's 5921: </a> </span><span class="str2">Above, over, upon, against</span><br /><br /><span class="word">I will make the heavens</span><br /><span class="heb">שָׁמַ֣יִם</span> <span class="translit">(šā·ma·yim)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun -
