Isaiah 13:7
7 Therefore shall all hands [yad] be faint [raphah], and every man's ['enowsh] heart [lebab] shall melt [macac]: KJV-Interlinear
7 Therefore all hands will fall
limp,And every man's heart will melt. NASB
And what would you
expect the result would be for those who are in the trenches so to speak, and
then hear at first and then see an armada, a huge charging army or armies in
unbelievable numbers, coming straight for them?
And that is the result
of the previous verse.
The enemies of God are
on planet earth. They are engaged in the
last great war of the Tribulation, which we call Armageddon. There is death and
destruction all around.
For the prior seven years
these people have seen the world disintegrate into total disaster after
disaster.
You can read the
Revelation study for a greater in depth description of what people will be
thinking during that time.
And here it is
emphasized with just a little detail.
Hands will faint or
fall limp, and hearts will melt away in helplessness and hopelessness and utter
defeat.
The anxiety and terror
will be at its extreme in those final minutes, when Christ and all that follow
Him, come charging through the heavens and descend into the clouds.
And of course we know
that only Christ will descend to and touch the ground. The rest of us who will be in that vast army,
will remain in the clouds to observe, making such a noise, that it will be deafening
to all who are on the planet.
