OUR LORD WHO SIGNALS HIS FORCES INTO ACTION

Isaiah chapter 13 verses 1 - 3 reads this way;

A prophecy against Babylon that Isaiah son of Amoz saw: Raise a banner on a bare hilltop,  shout to them; beckon to them to enter the gates of the nobles. 

I have commanded those I prepared for battle; I have summoned my warriors to carry out my wrath—those who rejoice in my triumph.

Isaiah watched the prophetic scene unfold capturing it vividly in this chapter. 

Babylon, the future world system, is quiety being besieged but she is not aware of the mounting danger.

What is underway is that the Lord's warriors are being prepared and positioned to topple the power structures of Babylon.

When all is set, a signal banner, which is a silent signal, is lifted up on a prominent high point. A shout goes forth commanding the Lord's special task forces to enter the gates of the headquaters of the kingdom of Babylon.

This sudden and precisely timed incursion into the nerve centers of the Babylonian hierarchy is the beginning of the end of Babylon's world system.

This initial move then makes way for the Lord's massive army to begin operations, this time signalled by a loud trumpet in Zion. The stealth operation is over and the overt invasion begins.

Joel chapter 2 verse 2 says this;

Like dawn spreading across the mountains a large and mighty army comes, such as never was in ancient times nor ever will be in ages to come.

Amen.
