Isaiah
Chapter 13
1
The burden of Babylon,
which
Isaiah, the son of Amoz, did see.
2
Lift you up a banner upon the high mountain,
exalt
the voice unto them,
shake
the hand,
that
they may go into the gates of the nobles.
3
I have commanded my sanctified ones,
I
have also called my mighty ones for My anger,
even
those who rejoice in My highness.
4
The noise of a multitude in the mountains,
like
as of a great people;
a
tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together.
Jehovah/God
of the armies/hosts
mustered
the host of the battle.
5
They come from a far country,
from
the end of heaven,
even
Jehovah/God,
and
the weapons of His indignation,
to
destroy the whole land.
6
Howl you . . .
for
the day of Jehovah/God is at hand.
It shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.
{Note: This a quote of Joel 1:15.}
7
Therefore shall all hands be faint,
and
every man's heart/'right lobe' shall melt.
8a And they shall be afraid.
Pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them.
They shall be in pain as a woman who is in child birth.
{Note: From all accounts, this is usually a very painful event - and from Revelation we learn that Israel in the Church Age is like a woman in child birth who rejects the birth of the Baby! And, they are in constant pain.}
8b
They shall be amazed one at another . . .
their
faces shall be as flames.
{2nd
Advent of Christ verses - 9-10. See Revelation 1:7}
9~~Behold,
the day of Jehovah/God is coming . . .
cruel
with fury and fiery anger . . .
to
make the land desolate.
And He shall eliminate the sinners from it.
10~~For
the stars of heaven and their constellations
shall
not give forth their light.
The
sun will be darkened when it rises,
and
the moon will not reflect its light.
11
And I will punish the world for their evil,
and
the wicked for their 'punishment for sin'/iniquity {`avon}.
And
I will cause the arrogance of the proud to cease,
and
will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
12
I will make a man more precious than fine gold . . .
even
a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.
13
Therefore I will shake the heavens,
and
the earth shall remove out of her place,
in
the wrath of Jehovah/God of the armies/hosts,
and
in the day of His fierce anger.
14
And it shall be as the chased roe,
and
as a sheep that no man takes up.
They
shall every man turn to his own people,
and
flee every one into his own land.
15
Every one that is found shall be thrust through
and
every one that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword.
16 Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes.
Their
houses shall be spoiled,
and
their wives ravished.
17
Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them,
which
shall not regard silver . . .
and
as for gold . . . they shall not delight in it.
18 Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces.
And
they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb
{idiom for very young babies}.
Their eye shall not spare children.
19
And Babylon,
the
glory of kingdoms,
the
beauty of the Chaldees' excellency,
shall
be as when 'Elohiym/Godhead
overthrew
Sodom and Gomorrah.
20
It shall never be inhabited,
neither
shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation.
Neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there.
Neither shall the shepherds make their fold there.
21 But wild animals/beasts of the desert shall lie there.
And their houses shall be full of doleful creatures.
And owls shall dwell there.
And satyrs/he-goats shall dance there.
22
And the wild animals/beasts of the islands
shall
cry in their desolate houses,
and
crocodiles/dragons {tanniyn}
in
their pleasant palaces.
And
her time is near to come,
and
her days shall not be prolonged.
