God Commands That Babylon Be Taken

21The oracle concerning the wilderness of the sea. As windstorms in the Negev sweep on, It comes from the wilderness, from a terrifying land.H4853H4057H3220H5492H5045H2498H935H4057H3372H7762A harsh vision has been shown to me; The treacherous one still deals treacherously, [and] the destroyer still destroys. Go up, Elam, lay siege, Media; I have made an end of all the groaning she has caused.H7186H2380H5046H898H898H7703H7703H5927H5867H6696H4074H585H76733For this reason my loins are full of anguish; Pains have seized me like the pains of a woman in labor. I am so bewildered I cannot hear, so terrified I cannot see.H4975H4390H2479H6735H270H6735H3205H5753H8085H926H72004My mind reels, horror overwhelms me; The twilight I longed for has been turned for me into trembling.H3824H8582H6427H1204H5399H2837H7760H27315They set the table, they spread out the cloth, they eat, they drink; "Rise up, captains, oil the shields,"H6186H7979H6822H6844H398H8354H6965H8269H4886H40436For thus the Lord says to me, "Go, station the lookout, let him report what he sees.H136H559H3212H5975H6822H5046H72007"When he sees riders, horsemen in pairs, A train of donkeys, a train of camels, Let him pay close attention, very close attention."H7200H7393H6776H6571H7393H2543H7393H1581H7181H7182H7227H71828Then the lookout called, "O Lord, I stand continually by day on the watchtower, And I am stationed every night at my guard post.H7121H738H136H5975H8548H4707H3119H5324H4931H39159"Now behold, here comes a troop of riders, horsemen in pairs." And one answered and said, "Fallen, fallen is Babylon; And all the images of her gods are shattered on the ground."H935H7393H376H6776H6571H6030H559H894H5307H5307H6456H430H7665H77610O my threshed [people,] and my afflicted of the threshing floor! What I have heard from the LORD of hosts, The God of Israel, I make known to you.H4098H1121H1637H8085H3068H6635H430H3478H5046

Oracles about Edom and Arabia

11The oracle concerning Edom. One keeps calling to me from Seir, " Watchman, how far gone is the night? Watchman, how far gone is the night? "H4853H1746H7121H8165H8104H3915H8104H391512The watchman says, "Morning comes but also night. If you would inquire, inquire; Come back again."H8104H559H1242H857H3915H1158H1158H7725H85713The oracle about Arabia. In the thickets of Arabia you must spend the night, O caravans of Dedanites.H4853H6152H3293H6152H3885H736H172014Bring water for the thirsty, O inhabitants of the land of Tema, Meet the fugitive with bread.H3427H776H8485H857H4325H7125H6771H6923H3899H507415For they have fled from the swords, From the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, And from the press of battle.H5074H6440H2719H6440H5203H2719H6440H1869H7198H6440H3514H442116For thus the Lord said to me, "In a year, as a hired man would count it, all the splendor of Kedar will terminate;H136H559H8141H8141H7916H3519H6938H361517and the remainder of the number of bowmen, the mighty men of the sons of Kedar, will be few; for the LORD God of Israel has spoken.

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
