"all?"


all nations:

Isaiah 34:1 Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye people: let the earth hear, and all that is therein; the world, and all things that come forth of it.
  2 For the indignation of the LORD is upon all nations, and his fury upon all their armies: he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter.

At one time I used to confuse world for earth.
e.g. like thinking the expression, "end of the world", meant, "end of the earth".
It doesn't, but it was scriptures like Isaiah 34:1, that have both the words, "earth" and "world" in it, that helped me.
It didn't require me having to wait for someone who studied ancient Hebrew and/or ancient Greek, to explain it to me.

In Isaiah 34:2, it mentions that the indignation of the LORD is upon "all" nations, not "many" nations, or "some" nations.
Then it says that his fury is upon "all" their armies.
Does "all" mean "all"?
"all" is not code for "some" or "many"?
But isn't the word, "all", rather inclusive, to actually mean what it says?
