They are coming from a far country, From the farthest horizons, The Lord and His instruments of indignation, To destroy the whole land.

 Is 13:1 – 5

            1          The oracle concerning Babylon which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw.

            2          Lift up a standard on the bare hill,

Raise your voice to them,

Wave the hand that they may enter the doors of the nobles.

            3          I have commanded My consecrated ones,

I have even called My mighty warriors,

My proudly exulting ones,

To execute My anger.

            4          A sound of tumult on the mountains,

Like that of many people!

A sound of the uproar of kingdoms,

Of nations gathered together!

The Lord of hosts is mustering the army for battle.

            5          They are coming from a far country,

From the farthest horizons,

The Lord and His instruments of indignation,

To destroy the whole land.

 

This sounds like Revelation with judgment on Babylon. Did Isaiah actually see what John saw and wrote about? As mighty as Babylon will be, God will bring it to dust. We will see in Revelation just had destructive God’s judgment is. You don’t want to be on the wrong side of it.

 

8.         If we could hear God speak, He would probably say: “No matter how big you think you are, you will be but dust in the wind, a forgotten blip on the viewscreen of life without Me. Enjoy your fleeting comfort now, for an eternal reckoning is soon coming.”
