What does Isaiah 24:19 mean?

The Lord's final judgment against those the few survivors on the earth (Isaiah 24:6–11) comes in some unspecified form. Isaiah referred to a terror, a pit, and a snare. These aren't likely to be literal noise, holes, and nooses. Rather, this seems to imply that people will flee from a perceived threat, only to be caught in something worse. Those who manage to escape will only fall into another disaster. There will be no escape: this is the end (Isaiah 24:17–18).

In addition, massive earthquakes will be splitting the land apart. Without solid ground to cling to, those who refused to place their hope in the Lord by obeying Him will find nothing left to hope in the earth. Revelation 6:12–17 describes a similar scene, which may even be the same as Isaiah saw:

"When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth, the full moon became like blood, and the stars of the sky fell to the earth as the fig tree sheds its winter fruit when shaken by a gale. The sky vanished like a scroll that is being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place. Then the kings of the earth and the great ones and the generals and the rich and the powerful, and everyone, slave and free, hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains, calling to the mountains and rocks, 'Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb, for the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?'"
