Hi Dottie, Thank you for a great question; Only one more? Please don't feel that you are putting us out of our way, for there is nothing we would rather do than serve God by promoting His Kingdom. In the verse you mention, the Jews in Babylon are tormenting themselves with thoughts of Babylon's ruin, but this not from a spirit of revenge, but out of zealousness for the glory of God and the honour of his kingdom. The Lord said to Zechariah through His angel, "And I am very sore displeased with the heathen that are at ease: for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction." (Zec 1:15) This is saying that the Edomites, who spurred on the anger of the Chaldean army, will be reckoned with. -If not in this life, then in the life to come. Babylon is the key player here, and it will be her turn also to drink of the cup of tremblings. As the Scriptures teach, the destroyers will be destroyed (Rev 13:10) This is simply put, justice being served. "Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double." (Rev 18:6) As Matt 7:2 puts it, "For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again." This is a fruit of the old hostility of Esau against Jacob, because he stole the blessing, and further back, the ancient animosity between the seed of the woman and the seed of the serpent. This will be a destruction that will honour the participants of it. "Happy shall be those that do it; for they are fulfilling God’s counsels; and therefore he calls Cyrus, who did it, his servant, his shepherd, his anointed (Isa. 44:28; 45:1) And the soldiers will be called his sanctified ones, (Isa. 13:3). They are the ones promoting God’s people, Israel. The fall of the New-Testament Babylon will be the triumph of all the saints, Rev. 19:1. In His service and yours, keliy |
