God's wrath is coming upon those who refuse to believe and reject the truth.
Yet many who profess to believe in Christ still think they deserve to go through that same wrath.

Chuck Missler taught on Isaiah 26:20 (and the surrounding verses 19–21) in his verse-by-verse Isaiah commentary, specifically in his sessions covering the “Little Apocalypse” (Isaiah 24–27).
Key Points from Missler’s Teaching
Missler highlighted Isaiah 26:19–21 as a remarkable prophetic passage with strong end-times significance. Here’s what stands out in his notes and teachings:
- Resurrection (v. 19): He connected this to the bodily resurrection of believers, linking it to passages like 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17 (the dead in Christ rise first) and other Old Testament resurrection hints (e.g., Daniel 12, Ezekiel 37).
- Enter your chambers” / Hide until wrath passes (v. 20): Missler saw this as God calling His people into safety (the “chambers”) while divine indignation/wrath is poured out on the earth. He explicitly linked the “chambers” to John 14:2 (“In my Father’s house are many mansions/rooms... I go to prepare a place for you”). This fits a pre-tribulation or pre-wrath Rapture perspective, where believers are taken to heaven before the worst of God’s wrath.
- God’s judgment (v. 21): The Lord coming out of His place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity aligns with Revelation’s descriptions of judgment and the Second Coming.
Missler often used this passage as supporting evidence for the Rapture being a distinct event from the Second Coming — where the Church is removed (“Come, my people... hide yourself... until the indignation be past”) before the full outpouring of God’s wrath.
He marks Isaiah 26:19–21 as a “Remarkable Passage” and references the chambers in connection with heaven and protection from wrath.
Missler was known for his strong pre-tribulational Rapture view, and he frequently used Old Testament allusions like this one (along with Zephaniah 2:3, Revelation 3:10, etc.) to support it. He emphasized that God has a pattern of removing or sheltering His people before pouring out judgment.
Hallelujah!
