ISAIAH—NOTE ON Isaiah 66:24 Isaiah uses the image of Jerusalem’s city dump, just outside the city wall in the Hinnom Valley (see Jeremiah 7:30). They shall go out and look, not to gloat, but to agree with God’s judgment of the wicked and to be assured that his judgment will last forever. They shall be an abhorrence, though in this life they are often successful. The gospel is good news to the contrite but bad news to the rebellious.
