If Yahweh Tsebaoth hadn’t left us a few survivors, we would have been like Sodom and Gomorrah.

That’s why Adonay, Yahweh Tsebaoth, the Mighty One of Israel, says, “How horrible it will be when I take revenge on my opponents! I will avenge myself against my enemies.

The Day of the Lord’s Judgment

Yahweh Tsebaoth will have his day against all who are arrogant and conceited and all who are proud of themselves (they will be humbled),

The Lord’s Judgment on Sinners in Zion

See now, Adonay, Yahweh Tsebaoth, is going to take from Jerusalem and Judah every kind of support and their entire supply of food and water.

Adonay Yahweh Tsebaoth asks, “How can you crush my people and grind the faces of the poor into the ground?”

The vineyard of Yahweh Tsebaoth is the nation of Israel, and the people of Judah are the garden of his delight. He hoped for justice but saw only slaughter, for righteousness but heard only cries of distress.

With my own ears I heard Yahweh Tsebaoth say, “Many houses will become empty. Large, beautiful houses will be without people to live in them.

Yahweh Tsebaoth will be honored when he judges. The holy El will show himself to be holy when he does what is right.

The Lord Will Use Another Nation to Punish His People

As flames burn up straw and dry grass shrivels in flames, so their roots will rot, and their blossoms will blow away like dust. They have rejected the teachings of Yahweh Tsebaoth and have despised the word of Qedosh Yisrael.

They called to each other and said, “Holy, holy, holy is Yahweh Tsebaoth! The whole earth is filled with his glory.”

So I said, “Oh, no! I’m doomed. Every word that passes through my lips is sinful. I live among people with sinful lips. I have seen the Melek, Yahweh Tsebaoth!”

Remember that Yahweh Tsebaoth is holy. He is the one you should fear and the one you should be terrified of.

I am here with the children that Yahweh has given me. We are signs and symbols in Israel from Yahweh Tsebaoth, who lives on Mount Zion.

His government and peace will have unlimited growth. He will establish David’s throne and kingdom. He will uphold it with justice and righteousness now and forever. Yahweh Tsebaoth is determined to do this!

But the people have not returned to the one who struck them, nor have they sought Yahweh Tsebaoth.

The land is scorched by the fury of Yahweh Tsebaoth, and the people are like fuel for the fire. No one shows concern for others:

That is why Adonay Yahweh Tsebaoth will send a degenerative disease against brave men. A flame will be turned into a raging fire under his power.

Adonay Yahweh Tsebaoth will carry out this destruction throughout the world as he has determined.

Adonay Yahweh Tsebaoth says: My people who live in Zion, don’t be afraid of the Assyrians when they strike with a rod or when they raise their staff against you as the Egyptians did.

Then Yahweh Tsebaoth will raise his whip against them. As he struck down Midian at the Rock of Oreb and raised his staff over the water, so he will lift it as he did in Egypt.

Now look! Adonay Yahweh Tsebaoth will trim the branches with terrifying power. The highest trees will be cut down. The tallest ones will be brought down.

Listen to the noise on the mountains. It is like the sound of a large army. It is the sound of kingdoms and nations gathering together. Yahweh Tsebaoth is assembling his army for battle.

I will make heaven tremble, and the earth will be shaken from its place when Yahweh Tsebaoth is angry. At that time he will be very angry.

“I’ll rise up against them,” declares Yahweh Tsebaoth. “I’ll cut off the name of the survivors from Babylon, its offspring and descendants,” declares Yahweh.

“It will become the possession of herons. It will become pools of water. I’ll sweep it with the broom of destruction,” declares Yahweh Tsebaoth.
