Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 24:21

_ _ host of ... high ones — the heavenly host, that is, either the visible host of heaven (the present economy of nature, affected by the sun, moon, and stars, the objects of idolatry, being abolished, Isaiah 65:17; Isaiah 60:19, simultaneously with the corrupt polity of men); or rather, “the invisible rulers of the darkness of this world,” as the antithesis to “kings of the earth” shows. Angels, moreover, preside, as it were, over kingdoms of the world (Daniel 10:13, Daniel 10:20, Daniel 10:21).

Matthew Henry's Commentary
