The wrath of the Lord Almighty

Isaiah 13:1-22
The Load we will destroy the whole country, Babylonian. Her days will not be prolonged.
This destruction will be completely. People scarcer than pure gold.
God will punish the world for its evil,the wicked for their sin.
The Lord will stir up against them the Medes, who do not care for silver and have no delight in gold. They have not mercy and compassion.
God puts an end of the arrogant of haughty and will humble the pride of the ruthless. At the wrath of the Load, Almighty at the day of his burning anger.
She will never be inhabited or lived in through all generations;
Babylon, the jewel of kingdoms, the pride and glory of the Babylonians, will be overthrown by God.
Why?
Babylon is the weapon of the Lord, but for their proud and arrogant, the wrath of the Load come upon them.
In Isaiah's day Babylon was struggling for independence from Assyria. This prophecy concerns Babylon, 100 years later, at the height of its power - and looks forward to the day when Babylon in turn will be brought down.
In 539 Babylon fell to the Medes and Persians led by Cyrus. Xerxes destroyed the city in 478, and it was finally abandoned in the 4th century BC.
In New Testament, Babylon becomes a symbol. It is the city of rebel humanity, implacable opposed the God.
When Isaiah prophecy Babylon, Babylon was very strong, it is hard to believe this country will fell. God has his time, what we can do is trust in Him and fear the Lord.
How?
The Lord Almighty is great and worthy to worship, all of the word will be punished for its evil and wicked for their sin. Do not angry to the evil man, but preach the gospel to them, hope them could return to the Lord.
