Isaiah 24:17-18
24:18 a No one can escape the day of the Lord (see study note on 2:5-22).• Destruction falls like rain from the heavens (literally the floodgates of heaven are opened): The imagery is like the flood in Noah’s time (see study note on Gen 7:11-12).
• the foundations of the earth shake: An earthquake is characteristic of a theophany, a physical manifestation of God’s presence (see also Isa 6:4 b; 13:13 c; 19:1 d).
