  • Jer 51:20-46 : 20 You are My war club, My weapon of battle: with you, I shatter nations, and with you, I destroy kingdoms. 21 With you, I shatter horse and rider; with you, I shatter chariot and driver. 22 With you, I shatter man and woman; with you, I shatter the old and the young; with you, I shatter the young man and the maiden. 23 With you, I shatter shepherd and flock; with you, I shatter farmer and oxen; with you, I shatter governors and officials. 24 Before your eyes, I will repay Babylon and all the inhabitants of Chaldea for all the evil they have done in Zion, declares the Lord. 25 Behold, I am against you, the destroying mountain, declares the Lord, you who destroy the whole earth. I will stretch out My hand against you, roll you off the cliffs, and make you a burned-out mountain. 26 No stone will be taken from you for a cornerstone or foundation, for you will be desolate forever, declares the Lord. 27 Raise a banner in the land! Blow the trumpet among the nations! Prepare the nations for battle against her. Summon the kingdoms: Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz. Appoint a commander against her. Bring up horses like swarming locusts! 28 Prepare the nations for battle against her—the kings of the Medes, their governors, all their officials, and the whole land of their dominion. 29 The earth trembles and writhes because the Lord’s plans against Babylon stand firm—to make the land of Babylon a desolate wasteland, without an inhabitant. 30 The warriors of Babylon have stopped fighting; they remain in their strongholds. Their strength has failed; they have become like women. Her dwellings are set on fire; the bars of her gates are broken. 31 One courier runs to meet another, and one messenger to meet another, to announce to the king of Babylon that his entire city is captured. 32 The river crossings have been seized, the marshes have been set on fire, and the soldiers are terrified. 33 This is what the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: 'The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing floor at the time it is trampled; in a little while her harvest time will come.' 34 Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has devoured me; he has crushed me. He has made me an empty vessel. He has swallowed me like a monster; he filled his belly with my delicacies. He has rinsed me out. 35 May the violence done to me and my flesh be upon Babylon, says the inhabitant of Zion. May my blood be on the inhabitants of Chaldea, says Jerusalem. 36 Therefore, this is what the Lord says: 'Behold, I will defend your cause and take vengeance for you. I will dry up her sea and make her fountains dry.' 37 Babylon will become a heap of ruins, a haunt for jackals, a horror and an object of scorn, without inhabitant. 38 They will roar together like young lions; they will growl like lion cubs. 39 While they are heated up, I will prepare their feast and make them drunk, so they will revel and then sleep a perpetual sleep, never to wake up, declares the Lord. 40 I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with male goats. 41 'How Sheshach has been captured, the glory of the whole earth seized! How Babylon has become a horror among the nations! 42 The sea has risen over Babylon; she is covered by its roaring waves. 43 Her cities have become a desolation, a dry and barren land where no one lives, and through which no man passes. 44 'I will punish Bel in Babylon and make him spew out what he has swallowed. The nations will no longer stream to him, and even the wall of Babylon will fall. 45 Come out of her, My people! Save your lives, each of you, from the fierce anger of the Lord. 46 Do not let your heart grow faint, and do not be afraid of the rumors heard in the land. One year a rumor will come, and the next year another rumor—violence in the land and ruler against ruler.
  • Matt 24:31 : 31 And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.
