OUR FATHER WHO CASTS DOWN THE REBEL

The book of Isaiah chapter 14 verses 9 - 10 says this;

The realm of the dead below is all astir  to meet you at your coming; it rouses the spirits of the departed to greet you—all those who were leaders in the world; it makes them rise from their thrones—all those who were kings over the nations.

They will all respond, they will say to you, “You also have become weak, as we are; you have become like us.”

The people who were under the oppression of the king of Babylon, finding that they have been released from their chains, take up a taunt against him as his kingdom collapses into the realm of the dead.

They see how the realm of the dead is riled up to watch the arrival of the one who was once so powerful.

The spirits the dead are recruited to form a welcoming parade and the spirits of the former leaders of the world are compelled to rise from their thrones to honor the one who has been cast down to join them.

The taunters note that those in the realm of the dead, having seen the state of the king of Babylon will be disillusioned for he will not be like what they expected. 

He will have all his power stripped from him and his weakness will be obvious to all who see him and he will be like the ones who inhabit the realm of the dead.
