Verse The sound of a tumult is on the mountains as of a great multitude! The sound of an uproar of kingdoms, of nations gathering together! The Lord of hosts is mustering a host for battle. Isa 13:4

Background: Isa 13:4 – The word of God “Yahweh of hosts is mustering an army for battle.” This was the prophecy that came to Isaiah regarding the nation of Babylon. The Lord passed judgment on the wickedness of the Babylonian Kingdom and told them their evil deeds were going to be punished, their kingdom was going to be destroyed by the Medo-Persian kingdom, we know in Daniel that this happened.

Lesson: People thought the Lord was not acting, he was not punishing the wicked. Remember like the nature of the Lord, we say “Love, Sovereignty, All-Powerful, Almighty” ” judge and Justice are also our Lord’s nature, A few verses to ponder

• 2 Corinthians 5:10 “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ”
• Romans 2:16 “On the day when, according to my gospel, God will judge the secrets of men through Christ Jesus.”
• Revelation 19:11 “And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse, and He who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness, He judges and wages war.”

Are we in !! The final judgment of the world is coming, and he is mustering an army for war to punish the wicked, the question is are we at the Lord’s side, are we in the victory team or are we the victims?

Are we Out!! Victims are the ones who continue to sin and have not accepted Jesus as their personal savior, for Jesus paid the price for our sins on Calvary, Jesus rose again from the grave, did we rise again from the grave, are we living a victorious life in Jesus, living a blameless walk with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
