Genesis 10:19
Footnote:
402 | the border of the Humbled from Hunt, coming in Drawn-ward, as far as Fierce coming in Sodom-ward, and Gomorrah. As a revelation of the completeness of time, that is, its beginning and end, this tells us something about the end-time situation in front of us. Notice the pairings the Scripture makes: from Hunted, Drawn and from Fierce/Insolent, Sodom. The same language can be found throughout the prophets relating to the End: “A nation fierce [az] of faces, which is not lifting faces to old, and is not showing favor to a boy …” Deuteronomy 28:50 literal “Behold-myself sending forth to fishers abundant, an oracle of Yahweh, and they have fished them; and behind an upright I am sending forth to many hunters, and they have hunted them from over the whole of a mountain, and from over the whole of a hill, and from clefts of the Rock.” Jer. 16:16 literal “Do not draw me away with the wicked and with those making sorrow…” Psalm 28:3 literal “And yourself, Yahweh, you have known me, you are seeing me, and you have tried my heart near thee; tear them away like a sheep to butchered-meat and cause them to be set-apart to a hot-one of slaughter!” Jeremiah 12:3 literal “And growing up is iniquity, built-one of my people, from the miss of Sodom, the overturned-one, like as an instant, and they have not circled in her hands.” Lamentations 4:6 literal “just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them in like manner having out-whored them, having gone away behind another-kind [hetero] of flesh are set forth a sample of age-during fire undergoing justice.” Jude 1:7 literal Nineveh and Babylon (Rev. 18:10) are the two Great Cities in Scripture, both identified with Nimrod. And on and on the prophecies go. |
