This chapter sounds as if the world is standing before the throne of God, like Revelation 20:11-15¹¹And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. ¹²And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. ¹³And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. ¹⁴And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. ¹⁵And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. (Revelation 20:11‑15). But that great white throne judgment is for individuals. But here it is broader and more like whole areas being judged by the Lord.

V.1-2 This poor world tries to find its joy and pleasure apart from God. Today we are reading of the awful end of this poor unhappy world as it is known today.

V.13-15 In Israel at the end of the seven years, there is going to be a small number of Jewish people who truly believe in the Lord. They are often called “the remnant.” They shall form the future nation of Israel.

V.16-18 The unbelieving ones in Israel. Zechariah 13:8⁸And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. (Zechariah 13:8) tells us ⅔ of the Jews shall be unbelievers and perish.

V.19-23 The days of the great tribulation, when this world is going to stagger like a drunken man! Count the number of times the word “earth” is used in this chapter.
