Excerpt - Apocalyptic Commentary of the Book of Isaiah by Avraham Gileadi, Ph.D.

24:13-15 Then shall it happen in the earth among the nations as when an olive tree is beaten, or as grapes are gleaned when the vintage is ended. Then will these lift up their voice and shout for joy, and [those] from across the sea exult at Jehovah's ingenuity. Because of it they will give glory to Jehovah in the regions of sunrise, and in the isles of the sea to the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel.

While the "vintage" or "harvest" (basir) of the earth denotes the destruction of the wicked in Jehovah's Day of Judgment, those who are "gleaned" out of it comprise a righteous remnant of Jehovah's people: "In that day Jehovah will thresh out [his harvest] from the torrent of the River to the streams of Egypt. But you shall be gleaned one by one, O children of Israel. In that day a loud trumpet shall sound, and they who were lost in the land of Assyria and they who were outcasts in the land of Egypt shall come and bow down to Jehovah in the holy mountain at Jerusalem" (Isaiah 27:12-13; cf. 63:2-4).
Songs of Salvation erupt from Jehovah's elect people in two chief places where Jehovah delivers them: (1) where "these" take refuge-that is, in the land of Israel; and (2) where "[those] from across the sea . . . in the regions of sunrise . . . in the isles of the sea" await Israel's God. Those in the land of Israel lift up their voice and rejoice in Jehovah's salvation, while those abroad exult at Jehovah's ingenuity in orchestrating events in such a way as to deliver them (Isaiah 12:1-6; 42:1-12). Secondarily, those who "lift up" or "sustain" (yis'u) their voice uphold or sustain Jehovah's servant (Isaiah 50:10; 52:8).

24:16 From a sector of the earth we hear singing: Glorious are the righteous! Whereas I thought, I am wasting away; I am weakening: woe is me; the traitors have been treacherous, the turncoats have deceitfully betrayed!

The remnants of Jehovah's people who survive Jehovah's Day of Judgment rejoice as they learn of each other's deliverance. Joy and singing characterize the dawning of the earth's millennial age of peace. Although the righteous are mistreated and betrayed even by former friends-wondering whether they can endure their afflictions much longer-those who remain faithful to the end inherit glory (Isaiah 4:2-3; 46:13; 52:1; 60:1-3; 62:1-3). The words "Glorious are the righteous" (sebi lassaddiq) additionally mean "Glorious is the righteous one," a reference to Jehovah's servant (Isaiah 41:2, 26; 53:11).
