Isaiah 24:13-15 KJV
When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the people, there shall be as the shaking of an olive tree, and as the gleaning grapes when the vintage is done.
They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the LORD, they shall cry aloud from the sea.
Wherefore glorify ye the LORD in the fires, even the name of the LORD God of Israel in the isles of the sea.
This chapter appears to be a prophecy of the end of this world and God's creation of a new heaven and new earth. The picture sounds very much like the Tribulation as it is described in the book of Revelation. Yet even in the midst of this terrible trial, there are some who will be gathered together to the Lord, though it will come as through the shaking of the olive tree, and who will lift their voice and sing of the majesty of the Lord.
We, who have come to Christ without such trials
We whose fires cannot be compared to those
We should be far more willing to sing for the majesty of the Lord. We should glorify the Lord in whatever places the Lord may put us, whether in times of fiery trial, or times of ease as in the isles of the sea, we should lift up our voices to the Lord and sing and praise and give glory to our Lord.
