Isaiah
13:1-16
(This is a prophesy of
the final, End Times Babylon)
An oracle concerning
Babylon that Isaiah son of Amoz saw:
2 Raise a banner on a
bare hilltop,
3 I have Commanded my
Holy Ones;
I have Summoned my
warriors
TO CARRY OUT MY
WRATH--
Those who rejoice in my
triumph.
4 Listen, a noise on
the mountains,
Like that of a Great
Multitude!
Listen, an uproar among
the kingdoms,
LIKE THE NATIONS
MASSING TOGETHER!
The Lord Almighty is
Mustering an Army for War.
5 They come from
faraway land,
From the ends of the
heavens--
The Lord and the
weapons of His Wrath--
TO DESTROY THE WHOLE
COUNTRY.
6
WAIL, FOR THE DAY OF THE LORD IS NEAR;
It will come like
destruction from the Almighty.
7 Because of this, all
hands will go limp,
EVERY MAN'S HEART
WILL MELT.
8 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.
9
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.
10 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.
11 I WILLPUNISH 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.
12 I will make man
scarcer than pure gold,
More rare than the gold
of Ophir.
13 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.
14 Like hunted
antelope, like sheep without a shepherd,
EACH WILL RETURN TO
HIS OWN PEOPE,
EACH WILL FLEE TO
HIS NATIVE LAND.
15 Whoever is captured
will be thrust through;
All who are caught will
fall by the sword.
16Their infants will be
dashed to pieces before their eyes;
Their houses will be
looted and their wives ravished.
(Isaiah 13:1-16)
