Isaiah 26:11

Copyright Ó 2015 J. Neely
Isaiah 26:11

11 LORD [Y@hovah], when thy hand [yad] is lifted up [ruwm], they will not see [chazah]: but they shall see [chazah], and be ashamed [buwsh] for their envy [qin'ah] at the people [`am]; yea, the fire ['esh] of thine enemies [tsar] shall devour ['akal] them.   KJV-Interlinear

11 O LORD, your hand is lifted up, but they do not see it. Let them see your zeal for your people, and be ashamed. Let the fire for your adversaries consume them.   ESV

The Lords hand raised, calls attention to Him, in front of all of humanity.  God is there and obvious, in all of creation in one way or another.

And yet there are many people who disregard God, disregard Christ, and pursue things of their own invention.  Things that have no reality in fact, but only in fiction.

But there will come a time, which is the moment of each persons death, as well as at the end of history, when all who have been indifferent, and all who have disregarded truth, will see their own folly, and they will be embarrassed at the degree and unreasonableness and ridiculousness of their foolishness, in chasing after something that did not exist, instead of something that was and is very real.

And in the end, regardless of all of the hoorah of the enemies of God, regardless of all of the arrogance of those who presume themselves to be wise with false things, the fires of truth, will overwhelm and devour them.  Leaving them with literally nothing.
