We are seeing the prophecies come true before our eyes👇

¹ Gather yourselves together, yes, gather yourselves together, O undesirable nation;

² Before the decree takes effect, and the day passes like plague; before the fierce anger of the Lord comes upon you, before the day of the Lord's anger comes upon you.👈

³ Seek the Lord, all you meek of the earth, who have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness; it may be that you will be hidden in the day of the Lord's anger.

🚨⚠️⁴ For 👉Gaza👈 will be destitute, and Ashkelon desolate; Ashdod at noon will be expelled, and Ekron will be uprooted.

⁵ Woe to the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation of the Cherethites! The word of the Lord will be against you, O Canaan, land of the Philistines; and I will destroy you, until there is no inhabitant.

⁶ And the coast of the sea will be pastures and huts for the shepherds, and folds for the flocks.

⁷ And it will be the coast for the rest of the house of Judah; there they will pasture his flocks; in the afternoon they will lie down in the houses of Ashkelon; for the Lord their God will visit them, and bring them back from their captivity.

⁸ I have heard the mockery of Moab, and the insulting words of the children of Ammon, with which they mocked my people, and exalted themselves against their border.

⁹ Therefore, as I live, says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Moab will be like Sodom, and the children of Ammon like Gomorrah, a field of nettles and pits of salt, and an everlasting desolation; the rest of my people will plunder them, and the rest of my people will possess them.

¹⁰ They will have this as a reward for their pride, because they mocked and exalted themselves against the people of the Lord of hosts.

¹¹ The Lord will be terrible to them, because he will make all the gods of the earth thin; and everyone will come to worship him, each one from his place, from all the islands of the Gentiles.

¹² You also, O Ethiopians, will be killed with my sword.

¹³ He will also stretch out his hand against the north, and will destroy Assyria; and he will make Nineveh a desolation, a dry land like the desert.

¹⁴ And in the midst of it the flocks, all the animals of the nations, will rest; and the pelican and the hedgehog will lodge in their capitals; birdsong will be heard in the windows; and there will be desolation on the thresholds, when he has uncovered his work of cedar.

¹⁵ This is the joyful city, which dwells carelessly, which says in its heart, I am, and there is none besides me; how it became a desolation, an inn for animals! Everyone who passes by will whistle and wave his hand.
