1 The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the sonne of Amoz did see.

2 Lift yee vp a banner vpon the high mountaine, exalt the voice vnto them, shake the hand, that they may goe into the gates of the nobles.

3 I haue commanded my sanctified ones: I haue also called my mightie ones for mine anger, euen them that reioyce in my highnesse.

4 The noise of a multitude in the mountaines, like as of a great people: a tumultuous noise of the kingdomes of nations gathered together: the Lord of hostes mustereth the hoste of the battell.

5 They come from a farre countrey from the end of heauen, euen the Lord and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.

6 ¶ Howle yee; for the day of the Lord is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.

7 Therefore shall all hands bee faint, and euery mans heart shall melt.

8 And they shalbe afraid: pangs and sorrowes shall take hold of them, they shalbe in paine as a woman that trauelleth: they shalbe amazed one at another, their faces shalbe as flames.

9 Behold, the day of the Lord commeth, cruell both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate; and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.

10 For the starres of heauen, and the constellations thereof shall not giue their light: the sunne shalbe darkened in his going forth, and the moone shall not cause her light to shine.

11 And I will punish the world for their euill, and the wicked for their iniquitie; and I will cause the arrogancie of the proud to cease, and will lay low the hautinesse of the terrible.

12 I will make a man more pretious then fine gold; euen a man then the golden wedge of Ophir.

13 Therefore I will shake the heauens, and the earth shall remoue out of her place in the wrath of the Lord of hostes, and in the day of his fierce anger.

14 And it shalbe as the chased Roe, and as a sheepe that no man taketh vp: they shall euery man turne to his owne people, and flee euery one into his owne land.

15 Euery one that is found shall be thrust through: and euery one that is ioyned vnto them, shall fall by the sword.

16 Their children also shalbe dashed to pieces before their eyes, their houses shalbe spoiled, & their wiues rauished.

17 Beholde, I will stirre vp the Medes against them, which shall not regard siluer, and as for gold, they shall not delight in it.

18 Their bowes also shall dash the yong men to pieces, and they shall haue no pitie on the fruit of the wombe; their eye shall not spare children.

19 ¶ And Babylon the glory of kingdomes, the beautie of the Chaldees excellencie, shall be as when God ouerthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.

20 It shall neuer be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there, neither shal the shepheards make their fold there.

21 But wilde beastes of the desert shall lye there, and their houses shalbe full of dolefull creatures, and owles shall dwell there, and Satyres shall daunce there.

22 And the wilde beastes of the Ilands shal cry in their desolate houses, and dragons in their pleasant palaces: and her time is neere to come, and her dayes shall not be prolonged.

Insight 777's Isaiah Chapter 13 comment on 1/17/2013, 11:24am...

Isaiah is speaking of the future. From all the descriptions associated with the Babylon of the future, it must be a country that is the most powerful in the world. It has to be rich with a strong military. It has to be diverse. It has to cause war to happen in other countries. I believe the only country that fits the total description is the USA. The USA is so strong that its' people, in their pride (God hates pride), believe they will never be attacked on their own soil. The USA has "unwalled villages" and is totally unprepared to defend neighborhoods with bomb shelters. Both Russia and Iran have stated they will bomb the USA if WW3 starts and the USA participates.

 


Insight 777's Isaiah Chapter 13 comment on 1/17/2013, 10:46am...

This chapter talks about World War 3. For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine. "In his going forth" explains that the bombing from fighter jets will be so fierce that the smoke from fires IN the battle areas will block out the light of stars, sun and moon. The battles will go on night and day. "Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger." Heaven is a word used for both the atmosphere above the earth and also the distant place in the universe where God resides. The "heaven = sky, atmosphere" will be shaken with concussion waves from bombing. Concussion, from the Latin concutere ("to shake violently") or concussus ("action of striking together"). The earth/dirt will be removed/blown skyward when the bombs and missiles hit the ground.

 


Bruce's Isaiah Chapter 13 comment on 12/15/2012, 4:57pm...

See pictorial/symbolic use of language (Sodom, Egypt, etc.) in Revelation 11:8. It might help in understanding what "Babylon" signifies? Where was Jesus crucified? Spiritually speaking however, his reference to Sodom in Matthew10:15, is literal as in other places likewise.

 


David Ng's Isaiah Chapter 13 comment about verse 13 on 12/10/2012, 11:23am...

First of all when GOD talks about heaven, it means the outer space above the earth. This space is inhabited by unclean spirits. Job 25:5; Ephesians2:2. GOD has set a time in which He will cleanse the whole heaven by shaking it (Isaiah 34:4; Revelation 6:12-13). The shaking of the heaven (pictured as a fig tree being violently shaken) is the coming war in heaven which will be fought by Archangel Michael and his angels against the devil and his angels, Revelation 12:7. The devil and his angels will lose this war and their heavenly places will be taken over by the angels. All these unclean spirits together with the devil will be cast down to the earth (and the stars of heaven fall to the earth), Revelation 12:9-13. This is the beginning of the great tribulation the earth and it will last 1260 days. Immediately after the tribulation the LORD Jesus shall return to the earth to finish off the devil and all his demons and remove all things that offend from the earth, Matthew 24:29-30 ; 13:40-43; Revelation 19:11-21. The Writer of Hebrews 12:26-27 described the shaking of the heavens and the earth as the way for GOD to remove the sinful and the unclean from both the heavens and the earth. That which cannot be shaken are the righteous and the holy, and these shall abide forever.

I pray God will swat away planet X For He has the power to do so.

 


Rich Magden's Isaiah Chapter 13 comment about verse 5 on 11/26/2012, 12:50pm...

Man’s Weapons are not spit when it comes to the Power of God.

 


Mary Anne's Isaiah Chapter 13 comment about verse 13 on 2/20/2012, 7:11pm...

I wonder what "shake the heavens" means. I think of high winds, tornadoes, dust storms, stars falling (comets). What do others think?

 


Ruth's Isaiah Chapter 13 comment about verse 13 on 5/16/2011, 8:31am...

I believe it has happened.
