A Prophecy Against
Babylon (Isaiah 13)
(This is a prophesy of
the final, end times Babylon)
An oracle concerning
Babylon that Isaiah son of Amoz saw:
Raise a banner on a
bare hilltop, shout to them; beckon to them
To enter the gates
of the nobles.
I have commanded My
holy ones;
I have summoned my
warriors TO CARRY OUT MY WRATH--
Those who rejoice in
my triumph.
Listen, a noise on
the mountains,
Like that of a great
multitude!
Listen, an uproar
among the kingdoms, like nations massing together!
The Lord almighty is
mustering an army for war.
They come from
faraway land, from the ends of the heavens--
The Lord and the
weapons of his wrath--
TO DESTROY THE WHOLE
COUNTRY.
WAIL
FOR THE DAY OF THE LORD IS NEAR;
It will come like
DESTRUCTION from the Almighty.
Because of this, all
hands will go limp, every man's heart will melt.
Terror will seize
them, pain and anguish will grip them;
They will writhe
like a woman in labor.
They will look
aghast at each other, their faces aflame.
SEE,
THE DAY OF THE LORD IS COMING--
A cruel day, with
wrath and fierce anger--
To
make the land desolate and destroy the sinners within it.
The stars of heaven
and their constellations will not show their light.
The rising sun will
be darkened and the moon will not give its light.
I
WILL PUNISH THE WORLD FOR ITS EVIL, the wicked for their sins.
I will put an end to
the arrogance of the haughty
And will humble the
pride of the ruthless.
I WILL MAKE MAN
SCARCER THAN PURE GOLD
More rare than the
gold of Ophir.
Therefore, I will
make the heavens tremble;
AND
THE EARTH WILL SHAKE FROM ITS PLACE
AT
THE WRATH OF THE LORD ALMIGHTY
IN THE DAY OF HIS
BURNING ANGER.
Like hunted
antelope, like sheep without a shepherd,
Each will return to
his own people,
Each will flee to
his native land.
Whoever is captured
will be thrust through;
All who are caught
will fall by the sword.
Their infants will
be dashed to pieces before their eyes;
Their houses will be
looted and their wives ravished.
Israel Brought Back
to Its Own Land (Isaiah
14:1-27)
(A prophesy of the Jews
being brought back to their own land
After having been
dispersed to all the nations on earth.
This reality sets up
The Time of The END.)
The Lord will have
compassion on Jacob;
Once
again he will choose Israel and will settle them in their own land.
Aliens will join
them and unite with the house of Jacob.
Nations will take
them and bring them to their own place.
AND
THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL WILL POSSESS THE NATIONS
As menservants and
maidservants in the Lord's land.
They will make
captives of their captors and rule over their oppressors.
[Ultimately there is
one Israel of God which includes all believers,
Who rule and reign with
Christ for a thousand years at Jerusalem.
The Nations of the
World, who once held the Jews captive
Are now captives of the
Israel of God.]
ON THAT DAY the Lord
gives you relief from suffering
And turmoil and
cruel bondage,
You will take up
this taunt against the king of Babylon (Satan):
How the oppressor
(Satan) has come to an
end!
How his fury has
ended!
The Lord has broken
the rod of the wicked,
The scepter of the
rulers,
Which in anger
struck down peoples with unceasing blows,
And in fury subdued
nations with relentless aggression.
All the lands are at
rest and at peace;
They break into
singing.
Even the pine trees
and the cedars of Lebanon exult over you and say,
'Now that you have
been laid low, no woodsman comes to cut us down.'
The grave below is
all astir to meet you (Satan)
at your coming;
It rouses the
spirits of the departed to greet you--
All
those who were Leaders in the World;
It makes them rise
from their thrones--
All
those who were kings over the Nations.
They will respond,
they will say to you,
'You (Satan)
also have become weak, as we are;
You have become like
us.'
All your pomp has
been brought down to the grave,
Along with the noise
of your harps;
Maggots are spread
out beneath you and worms cover you.
How you (Satan)
have fallen from heaven, O morning star, son of the dawn!
You have been cast
down to the earth,
You who once laid
low the Nations!
You said in your
heart,
'I will
ascend to heaven;
I will raise
my throne above the stars of God.
I will sit
enthroned on the mount of assembly,
On the utmost
heights of the sacred mountain.
I will ascend
above the tops of the clouds;
I will make
myself like the Most High.'
But you are brought
down to the grave, to the depths of the pit.
Those who see you
stare at you, they ponder your fate:
'Is this the man who
shook the earth and made kingdoms tremble,
THE MAN WHO MADE THE
WORLD A DESERT,
Who overthrew its
cities and would not let his captives go home?'
All the kings of the
nations lie in state (in Hell),
each in his own tomb.
But you are cast out
of your tomb like a rejected branch;
You are covered with
the slain, with those pierced by the sword,
Those who descend to
the stones of the pit.
Like a corpse
trampled underfoot, you will not join them in burial.
For you have
destroyed your land and killed your people.
The offspring of the
wicked will never be mentioned again.
Prepare a place to
slaughter his sons for the sins of their forefathers;
They are not to rise
to inherit the land and cover the earth with their cities.
'I
WILL RISE UP AGAINST THEM,' declares the Lord Almighty.
I will cut off from
Babylon her name and survivors,
Her offspring and
descendants,' declares the Lord.
'I will turn her
into a place for owls and into swampland;
I will sweep her
with the broom of destruction,' declares the Lord Almighty.
[Babylon here is not
only the the Nation and City of Modern Babylonian
But every Nation
infected with the spirit of Babylon, the spirit of Satan.]
THE LORD ALMIGHTY
HAS SWORN,
'Surely, as I have
planned, so it will be,
And as I have
purposed, so it will stand.
I will crush the
Assyrian in my land;
(The Assyrian here is
not only representative of Assyria
But
all those who rebel against God)
On my mountains I
will trample him down.
His yoke will be
taken from My people,
And his burden
removed from their shoulders.'
THIS
IS THE PLAN DETERMINED FROM THE WHOLE WORLD
THIS
IS THE HAND STRETCHED OUT OVER ALL THE NATIONS
For the Lord
Almighty has purposed, and who can thwart Him?
His hand is
stretched out, and who can turn it back? (Isaiah 14:1-27)
Today,
the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)
This
world in it's present form is passing away. (1 Corinthians 7:31)
America
is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.
Save
yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)
As
God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
Father,
Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
