In just a little while My wrath will be spent and My anger will turn to their destruction."

On that day his burden will fall from your shoulders, and his yoke from your neck. The yoke will be broken because of [his] fatness.

For the LORD will have compassion on Jacob and will choose Israel again. He will settle them on their own land. The foreigner will join them and be united with the house of Jacob.

The nations will escort Israel and bring it to its homeland. Then the house of Israel will possess them as male and female slaves in the LORD's land. They will make captives of their captors and will rule over their oppressors.

For the LORD's power will rest on this mountain. But Moab will be trampled in his place as straw is trampled in a dung pile.

The high-walled fortress will be brought down, thrown to the ground, to the dust.

The LORD is angry with all the nations-- furious with all their armies. He will set them apart for destruction, giving them over to slaughter.

All the heavenly bodies will dissolve. The skies will roll up like a scroll, and their stars will all wither as leaves wither on the vine, and foliage on the fig tree.

The LORD's sword is covered with blood. It drips with fat, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams. For the LORD has a sacrifice in Bozrah, a great slaughter in the land of Edom.

For the LORD has a day of vengeance, a time of paying back [Edom] for its hostility against Zion.

It will never go out-- day or night. Its smoke will go up forever. It will be desolate, from generation to generation; no one will pass through it forever and ever.

No nobles will be left to proclaim a king, and all her princes will come to nothing.

The wild beasts will meet hyenas, and one wild goat will call to another. Indeed, the screech owl will stay there and will find a resting place for herself.

Search and read the scroll of the LORD: Not one of them will be missing, none will be lacking its mate, because He has ordered it by my mouth, and He will gather them by His Spirit.

He humbles the spirit of leaders; He is feared by the kings of the earth.

Let the exaltation of God be in their mouths and a two-edged sword in their hands,

binding their kings with chains and their dignitaries with iron shackles,

The word of the LORD came to me:

and say: This is what the Lord God says: Look, I am against you, Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.

Persia, Cush, and Put are with them, all of them with shields and helmets;

"Be prepared and get yourself ready, you and all your company who have been mobilized around you; you will be their guard.

You, all of your troops, and many peoples with you will advance, coming like a thunderstorm; you will be like a cloud covering the land.

You will say: I will go up against a land of open villages; I will come against a tranquil people who are living securely, all of them living without walls and without bars or gates--

Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish with all its rulers will ask you: Have you come to seize spoil? Have you assembled your hordes to carry off plunder, to make off with silver and gold, to take cattle and possessions, to seize great spoil?

and come from your place in the remotest parts of the north-- you and many peoples with you, who are all riding horses-- a mighty horde, a huge army?

"This is what the Lord God says: Are you the one I spoke about in former times through My servants, the prophets of Israel, who for years prophesied in those times that I would bring you against them?

I swear in My zeal and fiery rage: On that day there will be a great earthquake in the land of Israel.

I will call for a sword against him on all My mountains"-- the declaration of the Lord God-- "and every man's sword will be against his brother.

I will display My greatness and holiness, and will reveal Myself in the sight of many nations. Then they will know that I am the LORD.

Proclaim this among the nations: Prepare for holy war; rouse the warriors; let all the men of war advance and attack!

Come quickly, all you surrounding nations; gather yourselves. Bring down Your warriors there, LORD.

Swing the sickle because the harvest is ripe. Come and trample [the grapes] because the winepress is full; the wine vats overflow because the wickedness of the nations is great.

The sun and moon will grow dark, and the stars will cease their shining.

Then you will know that I am the LORD your God, who dwells in Zion, My holy mountain. Jerusalem will be holy, and foreigners will never overrun it again.

"Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah: I am going to shake the heavens and the earth.

I will overturn royal thrones and destroy the power of the Gentile kingdoms. I will overturn chariots and their riders. Horses and their riders will fall, each by his brother's sword.

This will be the plague the LORD strikes all the peoples with, who have warred against Jerusalem: their flesh will rot while they stand on their feet, their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths.

Judah will also fight at Jerusalem, and the wealth of all the surrounding nations will be collected: gold, silver, and clothing in great abundance.

Then all the survivors from the nations that came against Jerusalem will go up year after year to worship the King, the LORD of Hosts, and to celebrate the Festival of Booths.

And if the people of Egypt will not go up and enter, then rain will not fall on them; this will be the plague the LORD inflicts on the nations who do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Booths.

the sky separated like a scroll being rolled up; and every mountain and island was moved from its place.

And they said to the mountains and to the rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of the One seated on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb,

These will make war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will conquer them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings. Those with him are called and elect and faithful."

The kings of the earth who have committed sexual immorality and lived luxuriously with her will weep and mourn over her when they see the smoke of her burning.

so that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of commanders, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and of their riders, and the flesh of everyone, both free and slave, small and great."

But the beast was taken prisoner, and along with him the false prophet, who had performed signs on his authority, by which he deceived those who accepted the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. Both of them were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur.
