Is. 12, 13 [The Message]

We often extol God’s love, and rightly so. He is also capable of unspeakable wrath. It is rarely shown. He did however give us a glimpse in the way He dealt with Babylon after they tried to destroy Jerusalem and the well-being of God’s Chosen People.

Chapter 13 details God’s wrath against the nation of Babylon, and a parallel glimpse of the ultimate “Day of the Lord” judgement which will come at the end days. Men think war is hell … they have no idea what REAL HELL is like. War merely uses man-made weapons. God uses the natural elements to include sun, moon, and stars. We weren’t at Sodom and Gomorrah to witness the brimstone and fire that exploded from Heaven. Some scientists think it was an asteroid that leveled 200 sq. miles of earth north of the Dead Sea. Regardless, God is capable of destruction on an unthinkable scale.

It’s good to know Him as Lord and Savior. He will KEEP us.
