Isaiah
25:10
10 For in this mountain [har] shall the hand [yad] of the LORD [Y@hovah] rest [nuwach], and Moab [Mow'ab] shall be trodden down [duwsh] under him, even as straw [mathben] is
trodden down [duwsh] for the dunghill [b@mow] [madmenah] [mayim]. KJV-Interlinear
10 For the hand of the LORD will rest on
this mountain, and Moab shall be trampled down in his place, as straw is
trampled down in a dunghill. ESV
A pile of manure is
the final existence of the enemies of God as stated here.
The hand of God
often times symbolizes the protection, defense and actions of God.
And the mountain
is of course a reference to Zion, which is the dwelling place of God. God is truth therefore, the dwelling of God
is truth, and is portrayed in the content of the scriptures. And if a person learns truth, then they by
default, reside with God within His dwelling, namely doctrine resident in the soul.
Moab is a general
reference to the enemies of God, referring to all enemies.
They will be
trodden down or trampled, as is the barn yard debris of straw and hay and manure,
which is eventually hauled off to the fields or pushed off to the side and
burned as waste.
We have many
colorful phrases for this type of pile, which I will leave to your own
imagination. Noting that often times
colorful phrases are quite proper and certainly Biblical.
And that is the
place where the enemies of God will be left.
And, not only will
they be destroyed, they will be destroyed in their place, which means that no
matter where they are in the world, they will fall right there in their
destruction.
They will not have
to go to Jerusalem to be destroyed, Christ will destroy them right in their own
homes, in their own cities, in their own nations, in their own land.
Gods reach is not
limited, and Gods judgment will be thorough and complete.
