"For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine . . . Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the Lord of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger." (Isa 13:10,13 KJV)

That was the Lord's way of saying that the old nation of Babylon, that had held Israel captive at one time, had seen its last days. LOL!

I disagree...It means God was going to stop off at the Dairy Queen on his way home from the Hockey game...

If God didn't mean what he says, we can make up anything we want, can't we???

That’s exactly what he does with most of scripture.

Lol! Maybe in some circles. But in Isaiah 13 God is talking about the permanent destruction of Babylon by the Medes. That is history.

Isn’t that what dispensationalists do? Have you not read any of Hal Lindsey’s false prophecies, err, novels? Have you not joined his “Antichrist of the Month” book club? LOL! Just kidding.

I didn’t write the books so I don’t know why God wrote them that way. I do know the Jews completely misinterpreted the Old Testament prophecies by taking them too literally, and they are continuing to make the same mistakes. It is also worth noting that Jesus spake in parables, and his sheep “heard his voice,” but many others didn’t.
