What does Isaiah 24:19 Mean?

Verse Meaning

Like a tall building in an earthquake, the earth will crack, begin to sway, and break apart (cf. Revelation 6:12-15). What God had created in the ordered world, would again become chaos (Heb. tohu, cf. Isaiah 24:10).
"This is what they chose: a world without the ordering hand of God and this, in faithful divine justice, is what they got." [1]

Context Summary

Isaiah 24:14-23 - The Inescapable Penalty Of Sin
There is always a godly remnant, as we are told in Isaiah 24:13, remaining in times of shaking, on the topmost boughs. The survivors who had fled across the seas from the judgments, would adore Jehovah for His goodness and mercy.
The fires of the East are in contrast to the isles of the West, Isaiah 24:15. Perhaps they stand for the fires of tribulation, in which we must glorify God. To whatever part of the earth the fugitives fled, they would be compelled to acknowledge the glory of righteousness, or perhaps of the Righteous One. The dispersion of the Church in the early days carried the message and music of the gospel everywhere. Though we may travel to the limits of sorrow, let us glorify our God.
Note the instability of all earthly things, Isaiah 24:18, etc. Woe to those who trust in them! Remember to build within the borders of the everlasting kingdom of Hebrews 12:23-28. When all the world kingdoms are destroyed, that of Israel, God's ancient choice, shall stand, Isaiah 24:23. May we as the brethren of the King share His glory and reign with Him in those great coming days! In the meanwhile glorify Him in the skies. [source]
