its dust to sulfur, its land burning tar
10 that will not be quenched night or day;
its smoke will rise forever.
In all generations it will lie waste;
no one will pass through it ever again.
11 Horned owl and hawk will possess it,
screech owl and raven will live there;
he will stretch over it the measuring line of confusion
and the plumbline of the empty void.
12 Of its nobles, none will be called to be king,
and all its princes will be nothing.
13 Thorns will overgrow its palaces,
nettles and thistles its fortresses;
it will become a lair for jackals,
an enclosure for ostriches.
14 Wildcats and hyenas will meet there;
and billy-goats call to each other;
Lilit [the night monster] will lurk there
and find herself a place to rest.
15 There the hoot owl will nest, lay her eggs,
hatch and gather her young in its shade.
There the vultures will assemble,
every one with its mate.
16 Consult the book of Adonai and read it:
not one of these will be missing,
none will be lacking a mate.
For by his own mouth he gave the order,
and by his Spirit he brought them together.
17 It is he who cast the lot for them,
his hand measured out their shares.
They will possess it forever,
and live there through all generations.
"God’s Word Will Be Fulfilled" by Author: Jeremiah BolichProphecy can often be a divisive topic among Christians. Some people, when they hear the word prophecy, think of terms like “antichrist” or “rapture.” This is unfortunate, for prophecy is a broad subject covering more than 25 percent of Scripture. Yet, without a proper understanding, prophecy can be divisive and dangerous.
Although prophecy does have a future emphasis, some of which pertains to the end of days, not all prophecy is about the antichrist and the end of the world. In its essence, prophecy is God’s declaration of His plan to redeem and save a lost world. For example, Revelation 19:10 says, “At this I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, ‘Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers and sisters who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For it is the Spirit of prophecy who bears testimony to Jesus’” (emphasis mine).
This brings us hope! God is working on our behalf and is transforming us into the person He created us to be.

Of His redeemed ones, join the song.
