“The Lord will be terrible unto them: for he will famish all the gods of the earth; and men shall worship him, every one from his place, even all the isles of the heathen.”
The LORD will be awesome against them; for he will famish all the gods of the earth, and to him shall bow all the isles of the nations—the eschatological vision depicts God's judgment extending to universal religious submission. The famine of the gods suggests their powerlessness and destruction; all the earth's false gods face annihilation. The bowing of all isles establishes God's ultimate universal sovereignty; even the remotest nations acknowledge divine supremacy.
