Thanks Tony. If God can do that to his enemies, he could well do it to his own people. That is what is really scary!!!
I know it wasn’t your intention, but reading this has again put the fear of God in me. Thanks be to God for the refuge he provides.
So much of the Bible is like this, Tony. I’ve got a post coming up on Psalm 53 which makes a similar observation; the other striking one that springs to mind is Miriam’s tambourine jig when the horse and rider are thrown into the sea, there in Exodus 15.
I’m wondering why there isn’t quite such a sense of ‘nyah-ni-nyah-ni-nyah-ni’ on the day when Jesus rises from the dead. But perhaps that must wait until we have all crossed over the other side, as we read in Revelation 19:3
<i>“Hallelujah!
The smoke from her goes up forever and ever.”</i>
Speaking of the fall and destruction of Babylon.
I suppose our current celebrations over the fall of God’s enemies is, before the Lord’s return, tempered by a sense of mercy and fear:
<i>22 And have mercy on those who doubt; 23 save others by snatching them out of the fire; to others show mercy with fear, hating even the garment stained by the flesh.</i>
(Jude)
What an awesome chapter that is!
