1. The Message on Babylon. Isaiah son of Amoz saw it:
2-3. “Run up a flag on an open hill.Yell loud. Get their attention.Wave them into formation.Direct them to the nerve center of power.I’ve taken charge of my special forces,called up my crack troops.They’re bursting with pride and passionto carry out my angry judgment.”
4-5. Thunder rolls off the mountainslike a mob huge and noisy—Thunder of kingdoms in an uproar,nations assembling for war.God-of-the-Angel-Armies is callinghis army into battle formation.They come from far-off countries,they pour in across the horizon.It’s God on the move with the weapons of his wrath,ready to destroy the whole country.
