Isaiah 13:21-22

Like Jeremiah, Isaiah lived during the time of the destruction of Solomon's Temple during the conquering of the Kingdom of Judah by the Babylonians. As it turns out, Isaiah wasn't any happier about this than Jeremiah was, and like Jeremiah, his prophesies for the future of Babylon seem to get colored accordingly.

Almost immediately we're covering much of the same text, almost word-for-word in some parts. Mostly Babylon-related threat-prophecies about how God will soon be destroying the city, but Isaiah does at least try to spice things up with a nice new bit about murdering Babylonians specifically by killing the children in front of the parents, then raping the wives... a nice touch I thought.

Isaiah 13:15-16
Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword. Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished.

Unfortunately not long after that we're back to Jeremiah's familiar dragon territory again.

Isaiah 13:21
But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there.

Isaiah 13:22
And the wild beasts of the islands shall cry in their desolate houses, and dragons in their pleasant palaces: and her time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged.

Et tu Isaiah?

Alright, well let's have one more quick look at modern-day Babylon just to be sure.

And then for comparison...

First Jeremiah and now Isaiah with the same false prophesy.

Well, let this be a lesson to all of you:

Or else.

Revelations 20:10
And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

If there's a hell, it looks like Isaiah's in it.
