Isaiah 13 The Tail of the Great Dragon and the Judgement on Babylon
1 A prophecy against Babylon that Isaiah son of Amoz saw:
I believe that “Mystery, Babylon” in the book of Revelation refers to the US. At the time John wrote the new world had not yet been discovered, hence it was a mystery. The US sits upon 7 continents with bases in every one, we have a total of 800 bases whereas the next four countries combined have less than 50. The US is abundant in deep water ports whereas Rome is not. We sit on many waters whereas Rome does not. If the US were destroyed the merchants of the entire world would mourn “who will buy our stuff”. That is not even remotely true for Rome or Iraq.
2 Raise a banner on a bare hilltop, shout to them; beckon to them to enter the gates of the nobles.
Interesting prophecy, I believe the judgement that is coming is coming from the sky. There is a planet in our solar system that has a very elliptical orbit whose period of revolution is hundreds of years. When it does come near the Sun you can see it with the naked eye. The Sumerians, Egyptians, Chinese and Europeans have all described it. The best way to observe it is with an observatory that we have placed on bare hilltops. So it was the astronomers who first raised the alarm, not to the whole world but simply to the Nobles.
3 I have commanded those I prepared for battle;
I have summoned my warriors to carry out my wrath—
those who rejoice in my triumph.
4 Listen, a noise on the mountains,
like that of a great multitude!
Listen, an uproar among the kingdoms,
like nations massing together!
The Lord Almighty is mustering
an army for war.
5 They come from faraway lands,
from the ends of the heavens—
the Lord and the weapons of his wrath—
to destroy the whole country.
This planet is massive. It is approximately five times the size of Earth, it has several moons and a long trail of debris following it like a tail. The Earth’s orbit is about to intersect that tail and get bombarded with a meteor shower which will destroy the whole country of Babylon (US).
6 Wail, for the day of the Lord is near;
it will come like destruction from the Almighty.
7 Because of this, all hands will go limp,
every heart will melt with fear.
8 Terror will seize them,
pain and anguish will grip them;
they will writhe like a woman in labor.
They will look aghast at each other,
their faces aflame.
Think of all these apocalyptic movies depicting asteroids hitting the earth. They know it is coming, they know it will happen in a single night, hence the whole “Purge” movie series. These movies depict the response of the rich elites. They are building their homes like fortresses where they can lock up and be safe during this particular night. Meanwhile outside, above ground, there will be massive destruction and death. In their bunkers they will eat popcorn and watch movies while the rest of the world burns.
9 See, the day of the Lord is coming
—a cruel day, with wrath and fierce anger—
to make the land desolate
and destroy the sinners within it.
10 The stars of heaven and their constellations
will not show their light.
The rising sun will be darkened
and the moon will not give its light.
11 I will punish the world for its evil,
the wicked for their sins.
I will put an end to the arrogance of the haughty
and will humble the pride of the ruthless.
This event will be a humbling experience. I am a geologist and in the 1980s one scientist hypothesized that the dinosaurs were wiped out by an asteroid. The response was swift, the arrogant and haughty held him in derision. The prevailing theory at the time was that only nutty non scientific Christians believed in catastrophic events like the flood. However, the evidence continued to come in to support the asteroid and today it is held as indisputable fact that an asteroid did hit the earth causing a catastrophic event which wiped out the dinosaurs. Since then we have also gotten indisputable evidence of catastrophic floods at the time of Noah and which support that account as well. Little by little the haughty and arrogant have been proved wrong and God’s word has been untarnished like fine gold. But despite all this they still hold the prophecies of the Day of the Lord in derision. That will change when this meteor shower will hit the earth. Even the legacy of the most ruthless among them, Stalin or Hitler, will be humbled by the devastation that this will leave.
12 I will make people scarcer than pure gold,
more rare than the gold of Ophir.
The Lord said that He would come as a thief in the night. Right now there are people sounding the alarm, telling the world what the Bible says. These people are treated with derision as nuts. The day of this disaster the Lord will snatch His people away in the rapture. Afterwards people will realize they were right and they need to seek counsel from them about the Day of the Lord and yet, they will be gone. They will be more rare than the gold of Ophir. Yesterday you mocked, today you realize you need the light of the word and yet you can’t find them.
13 Therefore I will make the heavens tremble;
and the earth will shake from its place
at the wrath of the Lord Almighty,
in the day of his burning anger.
14 Like a hunted gazelle,
like sheep without a shepherd,
they will all return to their own people,
they will flee to their native land.
I remember sharing the gospel and being told by people that they didn’t need that crutch, that church is fine for weak people who need a crutch, but they were strong, independent, and too wise to believe in the myths. Well, once this happens the world turns to Mad Max and then you realize you are nothing, if only you were part of a large congregation with people of all kinds of skills, people who love one another as the Lord loved them. If you were part of a group like that then you might have a chance to survive.
15 Whoever is captured will be thrust through;
all who are caught will fall by the sword.
16 Their infants will be dashed to pieces before their eyes;
their houses will be looted and their wives violated.
17 See, I will stir up against them the Medes,
who do not care for silver
and have no delight in gold.
18 Their bows will strike down the young men;
they will have no mercy on infants,
nor will they look with compassion on children.
19 Babylon, the jewel of kingdoms,
the pride and glory of the Babylonians,
will be overthrown by God
like Sodom and Gomorrah.
One person who has been sharing this vision for about 18 months at this point is Dana Coverstone. I have heard many reject his dreams because “they have been proven false”. Once again, arrogant and haughty people who will be humbled. What happens to them when in a single hour they are all proven to be true?
20 She will never be inhabited
or lived in through all generations;
there no nomads will pitch their tents,
there no shepherds will rest their flocks.
21 But desert creatures will lie there,
jackals will fill her houses;
there the owls will dwell,
and there the wild goats will leap about.
22 Hyenas will inhabit her strongholds,
jackals her luxurious palaces.
Her time is at hand,
and her days will not be prolonged.

is quite feeble. But more importantly by the election being stolen and him being installed as El presidente, he has become the top useful idiot for the left.
