Isaiah 7:19
19 And they shall come, [bow'] and shall rest [nuwach] all
of them in the desolate [battah] valleys, [nachal] and in the holes [naqiyq]
of the rocks, [cela`] and upon all thorns, [na`atsuwts] and upon all bushes. [nahalol] KJV-Interlinear
19 And
they will all come and settle on the steep ravines, on the ledges of the
cliffs, on all the thorn bushes, and on all the watering places. NASB
Revelation portrays
Israel as a land of wealth and thus the western king is its protector, but not
for the wealth, but for its eventual destruction. That is Satan’s ultimate plan, get them all
into one area and then destroy them.
This verse portrays the
land which herein is Judah, as a land now overrun by invading armies. Like bees and flies, they will be everywhere,
swarming.
They will be in the good
valleys, the cities, along the good waterways, and even in places that people
generally do not go, thus the thorns and bushes.
And so continuing on from
the description of the previous verse, the land will be overrun and overwhelmed
by its enemies. And those enemies will consume
everything, leaving nothing of value.
And even though many
prophecies are fulfilled in part at various points in history, such as in the
Babylonian invasion, followed by the Persian invasion, followed by the Greek
and Roman invasions, the ultimate fulfillment of the prophecy will not occur until
the final days of history, just prior to the Second Advent. That will be in the Tribulation.
The Tribulation will be
the absolute worst period of history not only for Israel, but for the entire
world.
The description here is
one of overwhelming occupation and destruction of the land.
