Joe: Alright, so we're talking about Isaiah 24. Isaiah 24, what's going on in this chapter?

Bible Expert: Well Joe, in this chapter we get a glimpse of the destruction that God is planning to bring upon the world as a result of its wickedness. We're told that the earth will be shattered, the cities will be ruined, and the people will be scattered.

Joe: Whoa, that's intense. What kind of destruction are we talking about here?

Bible Expert: It's pretty apocalyptic stuff. The land will be covered in darkness and the moon will turn to blood. The stars will no longer shine, and the heavens will be shaken.

Joe: Whoa, that's wild. So what's God's motivation for all this destruction?

Bible Expert: Well, God is punishing the people for their wickedness and idolatry. He's making an example of them so that the rest of the world will learn from their mistakes.

Joe: Alright, so let me get this straight. God is going to bring destruction upon the world because of its wickedness, and He's using this destruction to make an example of them?

Bible Expert: That's right. We're also told that God will bring judgment upon the wicked and reward the righteous.

Joe: Wow. So what kind of reward are the righteous going to get?

Bible Expert: Well, the righteous will be blessed with a new earth and a new heaven. They will experience joy and peace, and the glory of God will fill the lands.
