Bible Questions & Discussion PAGE 911

Do you understand the last three trumpets are for this generation, and that each nation fulfills the vision according to the prophets? Ezekiel 38:4 sees (Russia), who was always held back for various reasons, is being brought forth as the beast army to defeat His people, Babylon (US/allies). God's people become a run down Sodom and Gomorrah, military might which the beast was hired to destroy. Afterwards, God destroys the beast (of which He bragged about). Rev 18:4 or Sarmat. God performs the end-time order His way, it's His narrative. Man is a tool in His hand for that very purpose, regardless of how ill perceived that concept may be. It is similar to 'love of country', and the refusal to see the tidings for blindness of national pride. These people defend their leaders' corruption, and root for a country that God has pegged for destruction. They follow their own hearts, not knowing that they are the new Nazi's. They are too deceived, or a slave to what someone else believes.

Holy Trinity, Where Did That Name Originate?

The Holy Trinity is one of the greatest mysteries of the Catholic faith, and is an attempt to describe the mysterious nature of God.

'The mystery of the Most Holy TRINITY is the central mystery of Christian faith and life'

(Catechism of the CATHOLIC Church {CCC} 234)

The Trinity refers to the idea that God is one, but can be experienced in three different Persons.

****The word 'trinity' comes from the word 'tri' meaning 'three' and 'unity' meaning 'one'.

CATHOLICS believe that there are three distinct Persons to this one God and that these three Persons form a unity. This belief is called the doctrine of the Trinity:

God the Father - the creator and sustainer of all things

God the Son - the incarnation of God as a human being, Jesus Christ, on Earth

God the Holy Spirit - the power of God which is active in the world, drawing people towards God.

[see Romans 1:20 in the King James Bible]

Beloved, the word Trinity is NOT in the King James Bible.

Another religion penned that word. It defines as, THREE. Like Tres, in Spanish means three. Etc

Romans 1:20 clearly shows that Godhead is Father, Son, Holy Spirit. Three in One.

Ephesians 4:5

One Lord, one faith, one baptism

1 Timothy 2:5

For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

1 Corinthians 12:13

For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into ONE Spirit.

Romans 1:20

For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and GODHEAD, so that they are without excuse:

Colossians 2:9

For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the GODHEAD bodily.

Hi Brother Ronald.

I definitely know you are not an evolutionist.. I enjoy reading your posts.

And I hope you don't think I typed all of that!! I copied and Pasted it. lol.

It's something that shows us the duel use of the word Adam amongst other things.

It's not something I've been storing in my bag,

I drew my conclusion from the scripture, not this article. But I believe the writer here can do more justice on the topic than I can.

Thanks and God bless.

What was your question? We love helping people understand some of the hard sayings. Come back again. It takes a while to see we're all regular people in here.

Guys many decades ago..

on AOL (america online) I used to hang out in the Bible Chatrooms. :D

It could get wild on weekends, but most of the time people just wanted to be their Christian selves for a while.

What God shows us, could be something someone else needs to read.

Kinda like when Noah sent out a dove every day to find signs of vegetation from land.

It gives us hope that life will be good once again.

May we encourage one another. Uplift and edify the spirit.

If you go to KJV tab to read in my app I see free download for KJV version. Bottom right column.

Hi Cecil, please read Psalm 37,

I knew a guy named Cecil at Myrtle Beach Air Force Base. He adopted a 6month old baby girl that had been horrificly abused. I read your post several times. I closed the ap. Had to pray a little & think on your post. I haven't heard from our friend Cecil since I was a teenager. The MBAFB shut down shortly after those days & everyone moved away.

Cecil, GOD is Just. Have you heard of Moses? In Genesis, Abraham was promised several amazing things, a son from his 'wife', in their old age, etc. Gen. 12:2,3,7, but also that those heirs would be servant in strange land & afflicted 400 yrs. Genesis 15:12-13, if you read in depth you can find GOD's justice. Genesis 12:10-17, Genesis 16:1-16, Genesis 21:9-19 = it was in Egypt, Abraham's children of Sarah's son Isaac's offspring were afflicted.

Genesis 18, shows great mercy of GOD that if 10 righteous were in that land (Sodom & Gomorrah) it would've been spared. That's his Nephew Lot's friends & family. ?, Right here is proof the GOD interecedes on People's behalf when they obey HIM.

GOD's ways are not our ways, Isaiah 55:8,9,

We cannot blame GOD for wickedness of man = Genesis 6:5-6,

Yet GOD shows us mercy & unimaginable love, John 3:16-17, salvation through sacrifice, Psalms 18:25-27,

GOD is merciful, true & Just. If you read the books that go alongside Isaiah you'll get a clearer picture: 2Chronicles 36, Jeremiah 29, Jeremiah 51, Exodus 22:22, Isaiah 1:17, Isaiah 1:23, Jeremiah 7:6, Jeremiah 22:3, Ezekiel 22:7, Malachi 3:5, Zechariah 7:10, you can start with those verses because that's most of what GOD asked of Israel & Judah. Then please read the Books & chapters.

Then Babylon: 2Kings 20:12-18,19, Daniel 1, 2Kings 25:8-9, I stopped there because that's enough about the evil.

Hopefully these are helpful if you are trying to search for truth & understanding. You can also ask for wisdom James 1:5-6,21,

Job 38:1-41, James 4:12,

* Hebrews 7:25,

As we believe Satan's lies and deceit, they build one upon another until they form walls and the walls form a stronghold in our mind. Different types of lies and deceptions can form different strongholds within us. Satan erects every stronghold he can in our minds to keep us from the true knowledge of God and to destroy us. To the degree that he is successful we will not enjoy an intimate relationship with the Lord and may eventually turn away from God. Satan places a thought in our mind and makes us believe that it is our own thought. This is a critical part of Satan's deception.

In whom the god of this world [Satan] has blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them ( 2 Corinthians 4:4).

The Greek root for strongholds is "a place of strength," a place that is strong, fortified, protected behind strong defenses.

When the devil has developed a stronghold in a person's mind, they believe the lie of the stronghold and have a very difficult time believing truth that is presented to them. A stronghold is not a spirit, but it has been created by an evil spirit, and is attended by the evil spirit. Kind of like a farmer attending his fields. A stronghold can open the door to more spiritual deceptions.

Many Christians struggle in their walk, because they fail to remove strongholds. This happens because the enemy is occupying a part of their life. When a person accepts the Lord, they receive a renewed spirit and the Holy Spirit, but it is our responsibility to renew our mind with the Word of God. Unless these strongholds are pulled down, we will continue to struggle. In time, Satan may obtain his objective, to build strongholds in our mind that persuades us to turn from God and pursue the temporary things of the world. Strongholds in the mind of non-Christians can be very effective at blocking the truth of the Word.

I wasn't aware they are giving them away?

I find many barely used, new smelling Bibles and Strongs Concordance at Goodwill stores: Salvation Army stores too. Their loss is our blessing. I give them away to people who want one. Walmart stores have Bibles near the gaming section. Priced Reasonable. Some are NIV or KJV.

May God bless your search.

You need to read those passages in the Commentaries. On this website or Google.

Type in your scripture and what you want to read: commentary or history or meaning or teaching.

If we don't do the work; the reading. We strike out at God as not being fair. We forget that we've had 3,000 years to learn what happens at THE END OF DAYS. We were warned and informed.

Jesus will have His Army; there will have been 144,000 Jewish Evangelists SENT BY GOD to reach out to the Unconverted/unbelievers.

The Beast will have his Army. All those who serve Antichrist. There's going to be a lot of Military action in these last days. The Palestinians are looking for their MAHDI; Who will lead them against Israel and any Israeli sympathizers.

If you want to have this taught to you? Look up NELSON WALTERS videos on YouTube. Take notes.

For BELIEVERS IN JESUS, we need to be as the Parable of the Ten Virgins. Be ready to go with Jesus when He comes for His born again CHURCH. Sometimes called the Rapture. Bible calls it: "Caught Up in the Clouds".

After that, the DOOR CLOSES. People who chose to do NOTHING, will endure years of Tribulation. They can still be BORN AGAIN; but they have to be on earth, hide in rocks and caves to survive.

NOTE: Antichrist will kill 1/3 of Mankind left on earth. If you accept the mark of the Beast, to access your money in the bank__you will die. If you take the Mark, you die. If you don't take the Mark, you die of starvation from hiding in the forests (which will be patrolled by drones looking for GPS on your cell phone).

This is ALL SCRIPTURE. You have to CHOOSE NOW. Today is the day of Salvation.

Sticking our heads in the sand like Book of Job animals: (OSTRICH) is a gory death sentence.

Get informed. Don't mock the Christians trying to help you. We're trying to help you and others.

We think your life is precious to God. "God so loved THE WORLD, that He gave his only son, to take your sins and give you JESUS." JOHN 3:16

Hey brother S Spencer,

You sent me a lot, thank you, you spent some time, your love is shining as usual. I would love to discuss this face to face, but here we are. I will get back with you tomorrow, let me go over your post. But I just want you to know, evolution is of our adversary, and I hope you do not think I believe evolution has any part of Gods' creation.

God bless,

Hi Lou. We're not told of how the Syrians dealt with leprosy, whether they even had a separate colony for them. Leprosy isn't highly infectious - but it is, when there is constant contact with the leper or transmission of bodily fluids. In any case, at that time, maybe not a lot was known about the disease, so people who were not incapacitated because of it, still moved around in society until they were homebound. With Naaman, it appeared that he was still able to function in his military duties, but with the signs of the leper there with the nerves being affected, it may have concerned him & the young maid gave that wise suggestion to him. As well, the Syrians & other nations, had never received a law from God in what to do in the event of leprosy being noticed in a person.

Friend, I will pray for Maria.

Dear Lord Jesus, give this resident skilled hands in performing this surgery on Maria's wrists. May the carpal tunnel areas be opened enough to provide healing of the nerves going through this area of bones, nerves, and tendons. I pray that Maria will do well with the anesthesia and have no complications with this surgery. Give her a calm and a peace as she goes into the surgery room and throughout the procedure. I ask that You will give her a successful recovery and help her manage any pain she has in the first week or so following this surgery. Give her needed help at home as she recovers. We ask all these things in Your name Jesus, Amen.

Hi Brother Ronald.

Part 1 of 5.

Genesis 1:26-28.

Do these verses suggest there were more than two people on earth at this point? No, since this is day six, mankind was the first couple (Adam and Eve). In Genesis 1:26, "man" (dm, is without the article, i.e., anarthrous) refers to mankind because, after using the singular "dm," it says "let them (plural) have dominion . . ." Then in Genesis 1:27, "the man" (hdm, with the article, i.e., arthrous) is used, which is followed by " . . . in the image of God he created him (singular)," then "male and female, he created them (plural)." In Genesis 2:7-8, 15-16, 18-23, 25, 3:9 12, 22, 24, and 4:1, the arthrous "hdm" is used and refers to the individual first man, Adam. Then in Adam's genealogy, Genesis 5:1-5, it is always anarthrous "dm." In Genesis 5:1, "dm" (twice) refers to the first man because it refers to "him." In Genesis 5:2, it refers to "male and female . . . them," who were "called "dm" when they were created. So "dm" refers to both male and female, but they were the first two humans (Adam and Eve).

In Genesis 5:3-5, "dm" clearly refers to the first man, Adam, who fathered Seth and had other sons and daughters.

Genesis 2

Before looking at the text of Genesis 2, it is first necessary to establish the context of the narrative. Genesis 2 is a more detailed account of the creation of mankind on the sixth day of creation and not a secondary and contradictory account of creation to Genesis 1 nor a sequel chapter to it.

This is the history of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens . . . . ( Genesis 2:4.

See part 2.

Hello Cecil. Just confirming that "the 6th trumpet army, His beast army", is your reference to Revelation 9:13-21? If so, I understand that this army of angels, God's army, doesn't refer to the Anti-Christ's army. How do you see God's Anger "at the beast for doing what God had asked of him; destroy Babylon"? The release of the four angels was for the slaying of one third of mankind. Maybe you could explain further how you have arrived at your conclusions as some assumptions you've made appear confusing in light of the Scriptures.

Hi Brother Ronald.

Long work day. Sorry for the delay.

for some reason I'm unable to post part 1.

will look into it.

God bless.

...continued When Moses continued to press Pharaoh to let the Israelites go into the wilderness to worship, Pharaoh relents and says they can go, but not to go far. People who are being released from bondage no longer need to listen or obey the former master under whom they had been in bondage to. People also, should wish to get as far away from this "master" as they can and not look back. Because, as this chapter shows us, the 'master' (pharaoh) reneged on his agreement and was not willing to let them go as soon as YHWH took away the plague of flies. He hardened his heart further. Sin is our master in our fleshly nature. We have been delivered from it by Jesus (YHWH). We should want to be as separated from it as the Israelites were separated by YHWH from the plagues of lice and flies, whereas before they had suffered the first plagues. They needed to learn the seriousness of remaining in bondage. They needed to learn to look to YHWH for all protection from enemies and unhealthy, unclean things. We should see sin as being far worse for us as these plagues. It is deadly. So, once we are delivered from sin, we should hate it in all forms and not desire to go back to it.

Were the Israelites learning that YHWH is truly the only God and the only One they can trust with their lives? Were they learning that YHWH was the One True God and the others they had learned about in Egypt were truly false? Were they learning that YHWH was the One True God worthy of their worship? I think God was working on these things with the Israelites before they leave Egypt so that they will never want to go back into a place of bondage. They needed to know what YHWH could do to them and what he could rescue them from so that they would not look back like Lot's wife. Certainly, the Israelites wanted to have their yoke of bondage eliminated, but if they were freed and could remain in Egypt would they ever leave? Probably not. they need to go with Him when He says go, and go where He says to go.

The devils a LIAR! If he spoke things to you that made you doubtful towards God kick him out inJesus name! And know that God is about to do something great for you! So praise Him anyways Eve if you don't feel like it. :-))

Was Naaman so infected with leprosy that he avoided being put in a leper colony or was it not looked down upon by the Arabs in the same way that the Jews considered leprosy?

This chapter continues with the plagues YHWH brings upon Egypt miraculously. The magicians of Pharoah are able to conjure up frogs, but not lice, nor flies. So, they admitted that this was the work of the finger of God. It is with the plague of flies that God spares the Israelites and their animals in the area of Goshen. Moses entreated YHWH each time to have the plague cease. The magicians could not make the plagues go away. The Israelites suffered under the plagues of water turned to blood, frogs, and lice. YHWH needed to teach the Israelites who He was and what He could do. They needed to be taught fear of the LORD. Then God showed His power in sparing them from the flies. They needed to learn about His mercy.

The Egyptian dust-god was named Geb, a god of fertility. YHWH making the dust into lice made what the Egyptians considered divine (dust) and most helpful into lice, something despised, unclean, and harmful. The Egyptian frog-goddess was named Heket. The frogs were normally confined to the water, so controlled by the water gods. But here, YHWH showed that these water gods really did not have any control as He was stronger. The Egyptian fly-god was Khepri (having the head of a fly) and was attributed to creation, the sun's movement, and rebirth. YHWH demonstrated power of this idol. YHWH not only could make the created substances that the Egyptians worshipped become pestilence, He could also make the plagues stop.

Again, YHWH tells Moses and Aaron to go meet Pharaoh on his way to the river. He most likely was going there early in the morning to worship. With the plague of flies, Pharaoh says he will let the Israelites go just a short ways from their homes to offer sacrifice. Moses had asked for a three-day journey to worship. Moses says that the Egyptians will be offended if they are close enough to the area to offer their sacrifice of bulls and rams. The Egyptians would be appalled because they worshipped bulls, calves, and other livestock.

Part 5 of 5.

In Genesis 2:22, Adam finally meets the one who corresponds to him, that the LORD God built to be a helper for him. After meeting the woman, Adam says, "This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she [this one] shall be called woman, because she [this one] was taken out of man" ( Genesis 2:23). In Hebrew the three occurrences of the demonstrative pronoun this (zt) in verse 23 show Adam's exclamation of the one who rightly corresponds to him. The fact that the woman (i) came from the man () shows that they are made of the same stuff. Adam goes on to name his wife "Eve" because she is to become the mother of all the living ( Genesis 3:20).

Most importantly, in Matthew 19:4-5 Jesus quotes from Genesis 1 and 2 as referring to the same people to make a theological point on marriage. By combining Genesis 1:27 and 2:24 in this way, he in no way regarded them as separate, contradictory accounts of creation. Jesus understood the "male and female" of Genesis 1:27 as "the man" (Adam) and "the woman" (Eve) of Genesis 2:24. Genesis 2 is the beginning of the history of mankind on day six of creation week.

There is no hint whatsoever in Genesis 2 of a group of pre-existing people from whom God elects the first couple, Adam and Eve. Rather it talks about the supernatural formation of the first man (Adam) and the supernatural "building" of the first woman (Eve). The Bible makes it clear: all mankind came from the first man that God created (cf. Acts 17:26).

God bless.

The verses are very similar but the actually verse is from Habakkuk 3:19.

Brother Ronald.

Part 4.

The context and language of Genesis 2:7 clearly rule out any evolutionary processes. This is evident from the fact that: (1) man is alone; (2) God breathes into his nostrils the "breath of life"; and (3) he is formed from the dust of the ground.

Because Adam cannot find a helper (zer) who corresponds (knegd) to him from among the animals ( Genesis 2:20), the LORD God puts him into a deep sleep (cf. Jonah 1:5-6) and makes (bn) a woman, who corresponds to him, from his "rib" ( Genesis 2:18). The verb bn depicts the LORD God as "building" Eve out of the "rib" or side of Adam ( Genesis 2:22). It is used elsewhere in Genesis for the physical building of a city and a tower ( Genesis 4:17, 11:4; cf. Amos 9:6). The word rib (l) complements the word built, as it appears numerous times in the building of the tabernacle ( Exodus 25:12, 26:20, 27:7, 30:4, 36:31-32, 37:3, 38:7). This is a beautiful picture of how the LORD God constructed the first woman. The term built also compliments the craftsman's term fashion used for the creation of Adam ( Genesis 2:7), as the LORD God is now working with hard material and not soft dust. Eve, unlike Adam, was not created from the ground, but her source comes from a "living creature." There is no way to harmonize Genesis 2:22 with theistic evolution: it is describing supernatural creation!

Brother Ronald.

Part 3.

Genesis 6:17, 7:15, 22), which is "a clear indication of life-and thereby the lifeless body became a living soul, a living being. Adam consists then of the material (dust) and immaterial (breath of life). It was not until the LORD God breathed into Adam that he became a living creature (as Paul also indicates in 1 Corinthians 15:45: "the first man Adam became a living soul").

This means that you cannot place minutes, hours, days, or years between those two acts as they are distinct, inseparable, essentially simultaneous sides of the one creative event.

The forming of the man from the dust of the ground shows that the LORD God formed the body almost immediately without intermediate processes. The act of formation and impartation (the breath of life) are two distinct but inseparable acts-two sides of one creative act. This means that you cannot place minutes, hours, days, or years between those two acts as they are distinct, inseparable, essentially simultaneous sides of the one creative event. This, therefore, rules out the idea that man developed from a lower form of a pre-existing hominid. If Adam was not the first man and there were other hominids prior to him, then it raises the question: in what sense was he the first man ( 1 Corinthians 15:45)?

The ground was not only the place of Adam's creation but also his home, and because of his later disobedience, it would become his grave ( Genesis 2:15; 3:19). Adam's value is seen not in what he was made from but rather in the unique way God formed him (cf. Genesis 1:27; Psalm 8:3--4, 139:13-14). The man the LORD God formed is called Adam ( Genesis 2:20; 3:17; cf. 5:1), who is the only human at this point as he is alone, which is not good ( Genesis 2:18. ), until God makes a helper who corresponds to him

( Genesis 2:18-22).

See part 4.

Brother Ronald.

Part 2.

The key to understanding 2:4 is in the opening Hebrew phrase tldt ("This is the history of"), as it formulates the structure of the book of Genesis. A number of scholars recognize that here tldt serves as a heading that introduces a new section of the narrative. Interestingly, this is the only time the phrase tldt occurs without a personal name, the reason being that "Adam had no human predecessors. The tldt serves two main purposes in Genesis 2:4. First, it "links 2:4-25 with 1:1-2:3. The language of 2:4 looks back to the creation account, just as the tldt in Genesis 11:10 looks back to a line of Shem in Genesis 10:1 and 10:21-31. Second, "its main purpose is to shift attention to the creation of man and his placement in the garden. The setting of Genesis 2 is the garden in Eden, in which the LORD God places the man he creates ( Genesis 2:8, 15). Because there was no man to work the ground ( Genesis 2:5), this is the reason that the LORD God forms "the man" (hdm) from the dust of the "ground" (dm). The description of the creation of the first man is given in Genesis 2:7:

then the LORD God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature.

Like a craftsman who shapes his material, the LORD God "formed. (yar) the man from the "dust" (pr) of the ground. The word "dust" is not a metaphor. It can only mean literal dust in the context of Genesis 2-3 because it is to dust that Adam will return due to his disobedience ( Genesis 3:19; cf. Job 34:14-15). After the formation of man from the dust of the ground, he is given human life when the LORD God breathes into him the breath of life.

Strong protection and breakthrough for us and all in need. Thank you and PRAISE you Lord Jesus.

,....continued

The first plague performed was to turn the water of the Nile into blood along with the water in the canals and side streams. The Nile was worshipped. Hapi was the spirit god of the Nile, Isis was the goddess of the Nile, Osirus' blood was said to the waters of the Nile. Khnum was said to be the guardian of the Nile. The Nile was truly the lifeblood of the people of Egypt. Aside from the Nile, fresh water was very scarce. Every living thing needs water to stay alive and the water of the Nile watered the crops and livestock to keep the land of Egypt as a major food source for the Mediterranean area.

This plague made the Nile no longer a life-sustaining source, but liquid poison, so to speak. Its waters were undrinkable and made people ill if they did. Whether it truly was blood or just red by some other organism we cannot know. But the text says that it was turned to blood, not turned red like blood. So, I think it really was blood, but not pure blood like the blood of Christ. It was tainted blood. The magicians were able to perform this same act by magic. So, Pharaoh was not troubled much. He returned to his palace fairly unconcerned and hardened his heart more than before. Perhaps he had a well or stored water and thought that this water would not be blood. But most likely upon inquiring, it was.

The fish in the Nile died, as well, and were unfit to eat. The Egyptians had a fish god and goddess, Hatmehit as goddess, and Rem as the god who fertilized the land.

This chapter tells about the hardening of Pharaoh's heart even more and the beginning of the plagues God brings upon Egypt.

When Moses and Aaron met with Pharaoh, they always ordered Pharaoh to let the Israelites go. Moses and Aaron kept this outcome at the forefront, remembering that that is their sole mission, to secure the release of the Israelites from Pharaoh.

The Israelites were not going to leave Egypt in a stealthy way, nor by the Israelites rising up in battle and defeating the Egyptians. No, God wanted the Israelites to know for sure that it was He, their God who brings them out.

The Egyptians were polytheistic and had many gods they worshipped, many of them being animals. They also worshipped the Nile as its waters watered their land which would be only desert if it wasn't for the Nile. God told Moses that he would be as a god to Pharaoh. This may mean that Moses was going to be YHWH's representative or that Pharaoh would see Moses as another god by the time the release of the Israelites is accomplished. It does NOT mean that Moses is actually a 'god'' All gods beside YHWH are false idols. So, YHWH would not induct Moses as a 'god' because YHWH will never share His glory and place as the only God with anyone else.

The first sign miracle that Moses and Aaron performed together before Pharaoh was to turn the rod or staff into a snake. The magicians did the same magic trick, however, Aaron's rod/snake swallowed up the magician's rod/snakes. This is significant. God knew all of the false idols the Egyptians worshipped and the snake was one of them. It was named Apep and was the god of chaos. Also, Apep was said to pursue Ra (the chief god-sun god) each night in an effort to devour Ra so that the sun would not rise and the world would remain in darkness. So, when Aaron's snake devoured the magician's snakes this showed them that the God of Moses and Aaron was greater than Apep, having been devoured by the rod/snake of Aaron.

Isaiah 45:7 God's ways are kind of like our ways, in some ways. At the 6th trumpet God uses a foreign army to bring judgment to "His" wayward people (Babylon) for their disobedience. God is so proud of His 6th trumpet army, His beast army, and the leader who executes His will ( Joel 2:11). Then we come to find out that God is angry at the beast for doing what God had asked of him; destroy Babylon. If God didn't want Isaiah 24 or Obadiah results, why did He bless Russian scientists with the ability to destroy nations? God behaves akin to a mafia boss, just follow the narrative.
