"The word that Jehovah spoke concerning Babylon, concerning the land of the Chaldeans, by means of Jeremiah the prophet: "Tell it among the nations and publish it. And lift up a signal; publish it. Hide nothing, O men. Say, 'Babylon has been captured. Bel has been put to shame. Merodach has become terrified. Her images have been put to shame. Her dungy idols have become terrified.' For against her a nation has come up from the north. It is the one that makes her land an object of astonishment, so that there proves to be no one dwelling in her. Both man and domestic animal have taken flight. They have gone away." "In those days and at that time," is the utterance of Jehovah, "the sons of Israel, they and the sons of Judah together, will come. They will walk, weeping as they walk, and for Jehovah their God they will seek. To Zion they will keep asking the way, with their faces in that direction, saying, 'Come and let us join ourselves to Jehovah in an indefinitely lasting covenant that will not be forgotten.' A flock of perishing creatures My people has become. Their own shepherds have caused them to wander about. On the mountains they have led them away. From mountain to hill they have gone. They have forgotten their resting place. All those finding them have eaten them up, and their own adversaries have said, 'We shall not become guilty, due to the fact that they have sinned against Jehovah the abiding place of righteousness and the hope of their forefathers, Jehovah.'"" (Jeremiah 50:1-7).

"Turn away, turn away, get out of there, touch nothing unclean; get out from the midst of her, keep yourselves clean, you who are carrying the utensils of Jehovah." (Isaiah 52:11).

"The pronouncement against Babylon that Isaiah the son of A'moz saw in vision: "Upon a mountain of bare rocks raise up a signal, you men. Lift up the voice to them, wave the hand, that they may come into the entrances of the nobles. I Myself have issued the command to My sanctified ones. I have also called My mighty ones for expressing My anger, my eminently exultant ones."" (Isaiah 13:1-3).

             MERCY FOR SOME JEWS.

"For God has shut them all up together in disobedience, that He might show all of them mercy." (Rom 11:32).

"For I do not want you, brothers, to be ignorant of this sacred secret, in order for you not to be discreet in your own eyes: that a dulling of sensibilities has happened in part to Israel until the full number of people of the nations has come in. (Rom 11:25).

"Jehovah has opened His storehouse, and He brings forth the weapons of His denunciation. For there is a work that the Sovereign Lord Jehovah of armies, has in the land of the Chaldeans. Come in to her from the farthest part. Open up her granaries. Bank her up, just like those making heaps, and devote her to destruction. May she not come to have any remaining ones. Massacre all her young bulls. May they go down to the slaughter. Woe to them, for their day has come, the time for their being given attention!" (Jer 50:25-27).

"For yet a very little while     and the denunciation will have come to an end, and My anger, in their wearing away." (Isaiah 10:25).

""Go, take the opened scroll that is in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the earth." And I went away to the angel and told him to give me the little scroll. And he said to me: "Take it and eat it up, and it will make your belly bitter, but in your mouth it will be sweet as honey. "And I took the little scroll out of the hand of the angel and ate it up, and in my mouth it was sweet as honey; but when I had eaten it up, my belly was made bitter. And they say to me: "You must prophesy again with regard to peoples and nations and tongues and many kings."" (Rev 10:8-11).
