At first glance, this oracle seems to encompass a final day of judgment and wrath that sweeps up the entire globe in an event still future to us today. Yet, tucked into this far-reaching oracle are also mentions of Babylon, an empire long since crumbled into dust, with only the remnants of its grandeur ensconced in museums here and there. What do we make of this strange juxtaposition?
Isaiah 13: From Nimrod to Babylon
the next eleven chapters, starting here in chapter thirteen, are going to be about God’s judgement on other nations.
