Isaiah 5:27
27 None shall be weary [`ayeph] nor stumble [kashal] among
them; none shall slumber [nuwm] nor sleep; [yashen] neither shall the girdle ['ezowr] of their loins [chalats] be
loosed, [pathach] nor the latchet [sarowk] of their shoes [na`al] be
broken: [nathaq] KJV-Interlinear
27 No
one in it is weary or stumbles, None slumbers or sleeps; Nor is the belt at its
waist undone, Nor its sandal strap broken. NASB
When the time comes for
the destruction of Judah, God will call upon the armies of the world, and there
will be no end to the anxiousness of those willing to come and to destroy.
Throughout history the
Middle East has been overrun time and time again. It is the single most fought over piece of
real estate than anywhere else in the entire world.
And in the final days,
during the Tribulation, this prophecy will finally come true. The armies of the
world will be eager to advance on the Middle East, seeking to destroy Israel
and everything else in their path.
No slumber, means that
their purpose will not be hindered even with a simple rest. No sleep means that those armies will advance
with but one objective and purpose, with impatience to destroy.
Girdle loosed, or belt
loosed, indicates that they will be well equipped and armed and fully prepared
for the battle.
Shoe latchet not broken,
indicates that even their footwear will be in very good condition.
But now review this
picture in its Tribulation context.
As the Tribulation nears
its end, the greater portion of the world will be destroyed. Starvation will be rampant around the
planet. The economies of the world will
have already collapsed.
And yet, these armies,
from all over the world will be well equipped, and motivated in their hate of
Israel, so much so that they will kill each other off in their attempt to
destroy Israel. Their modes of transportation
will still be intact.
As the world has been
dying literally, and starving and suffering under the most horrific conditions,
the governments of the world will be maintaining their armies and building them
up, as the greater masses suffer.
All priorities will be
focused on the destruction of Israel, not on rebuilding, not on God, not on
truth, no on any form of recovery plan for business or jobs or agriculture or
anything else except for escalating all efforts toward the last great battle of
history.
The remainder of this
chapter describes the condition of those armies.
