Isaiah 24:1 ESV
Behold, the Lord will empty the earth and make it desolate,
and he will twist its surface and scatter its inhabitants.
To empty the earth is to make it void. This is similar to how earth is described at the beginning of creation. Without God man is in the same state. It is the same with each person without God. We are invisible and without form, suspended in the waters of the deep. Darkness reigns.
The time of desolation is approaching, a time of wrath and tribulation for the inhabitants of the earth. The earth will be shaken. Perhaps it will require twisting its surface to return to the smooth and straight, the way of The Lord.
At the end a new creation will be revealed. The light of God will reign.
