ye up:
"Set upª° the standardª upon¹ the wallsª of Babylon,ª make the watchª strong,ª° set upª° the watchmen,ª° prepareª° the ambushes:ª° for¹ the LORDª hath both¹ devisedª° and¹ doneª°¹ that which¹ he spakeª° against¹ the inhabitantsª° of Babylon.ª" {Jer 51:12} + "O ye childrenª of Benjamin,ª gather yourselves to fleeª° out of the midstª¹ of Jerusalem,ª and blowª° the trumpetª in Tekoa,ª and set upª° a sign² of fire¹ in¹ Bethhaccerem:ª for¹ evilª appearethª° out of the north,ª¹ and greatª destruction.ª" {Jer 6:1} + "Declareª° ye among the nations,ª and publish,ª° and set upª° a standard;ª publish,ª° [and] concealª° not:¹ say,ª° Babylonª is taken,ª° Belª is confounded,ª° Merodachª is broken in pieces;²°¹ her idolsª are confounded,ª° her imagesª are broken in pieces.ª°" {Jer 50:2} + "Behold,¹ a peopleª shall comeª° from the north,ª¹ and a greatª nation,ª and manyª kingsª shall be raised upª° from the coastsª¹ of the earth.ª" {Jer 50:41} + "Lift ye upª° a bannerª upon¹ the highª° mountain,ª exaltª° the voiceª unto them, shakeª° the hand,ª that they may goª° into the gatesª of the nobles.ª ... They comeª° from a far² country,ª¹¹ from the endª¹ of heaven,ª [even] the LORD,ª and the weaponsª of his indignation,ª to destroyª° the whole¹ land.ª" {Isa 13:2-5} + "All¹ ye inhabitantsª° of the world,ª and dwellersª° on the earth,ª seeª° ye, when he lifteth upª° an ensignª on the mountains;ª and when he blowethª° a trumpet,ª hearª° ye." {Isa 18:3} + "Shall a trumpetª be blownª° in the city,ª and the peopleª not¹ be afraid?ª° shall there be¹ evilª in a city,ª and the LORDª hath not¹ doneª° [it]?" {Ams 3:6} + "For I will gatherª°¹ all¹ nationsª against¹ Jerusalemª to battle;ª and the cityª shall be taken,ª° and the housesª rifled,ª° and the womenª ravished;ª°²° and halfª of the cityª shall go forthª° into captivity,ª and the residueª of the peopleª shall not¹ be cut offª° from¹ the city.ª" {Zch 14:2}
prepare:
"For¹ manyª nationsª and greatª kingsª shall serveª° themselves¹ of them also:¹ and I will recompenseª° them according to their deeds,ª and according to the worksª of their own hands.ª" {Jer 25:14}
Ararat:
Bochart reasonably concludes Ararat and Minni to be the greater and lesser Armenia; and Ashchenaz he thinks formed part of Phrygia near the Hellespont, part of that country being called Ascania by Homer. Cyrus had conquered Armenia, defeated Croesus king of Lydia (bc 548), and subdued several nations from the Egean sea to the Euphrates, before he marched against Babylon; and Xenophon also informs us that there were not only Armenians, but both Phrygians and Cappadocians in the army of Cyrus. "And the arkª restedª° in the seventhª month,ª on the seventeenthªª dayª of the month,ª upon¹ the mountainsª of Ararat.ª" {Gen 8:4}
Ashchenaz:
"And the sonsª of Gomer;ª Ashkenaz,ª and Riphath,ª and Togarmah.ª" {Gen 10:3}, Ashkenaz, "And the sonsª of Gomer;ª Ashchenaz,ª and Riphath,ª and Togarmah.ª" {1Ch 1:6}
cause:
"The LORDª of hostsª hath swornª° by himself,ª [saying], Surely¹¹ I will fillª° thee with men,ª as with caterpillers;ª and they shall lift upª° a shoutª against¹ thee." {Jer 51:14} + "They shall cut downª° her forest,ª saithª° the LORD,ª though¹ it cannot¹ be searched;ª° because¹ they are moreª° than the grasshoppers,ª¹ and [are] innumerable.ªª" {Jer 46:23} + "Behold,¹ a peopleª shall comeª° from the north,ª¹ and a greatª nation,ª and manyª kingsª shall be raised upª° from the coastsª¹ of the earth.ª ... They shall holdª° the bowª and the lance:ª they¹ [are] cruel,ª and will not¹ shew mercy:ª° their voiceª shall roarª° like the sea,ª and they shall rideª° upon¹ horses,ª [every one] put in array,ª° like a manª to the battle,ª against¹ thee, O daughterª of Babylon.ª" {Jer 50:41-42} + "For¹ they¹ came upª° with their cattleª and their tents,ª and they cameª°°° as²¹ grasshoppersª for multitude;ª [for] both they¹ and their camelsª were without¹ number:ª and they enteredª° into the landª to destroyª° it." {Jdg 6:5} + "A dayª of darknessª and of gloominess,ª a dayª of cloudsª and of thick darkness,ª as the morningª spreadª° upon¹ the mountains:ª a greatª peopleª and a strong;ª there hath not¹ beenª° everª¹ the like,¹ neither¹ shall be any moreª° afterª it, [even] to¹ the yearsª of many² generations.ª ... A fireª devourethª° beforeª them; and behindª them a flameª burneth:ª° the landª [is] as the gardenª of Edenª beforeª them, and behindª them a desolateª wilderness;ª yea,¹ and nothing¹ shall escapeª¹ them." {Jol 2:2-3} + "There¹ shall the fireª devourª° thee; the swordª shall cut thee off,ª° it shall eat thee upª° like the cankerworm:ª make thyself manyª° as the cankerworm,ª make thyself manyª° as the locusts.ª ... Thy crownedª [are] as the locusts,ª and thy captainsª as the great grasshoppers,ª which campª° in the hedgesª in the coldª day,ª [but] when the sunª arisethª° they flee away,ª° and their placeª is not knownª°¹ whereª they [are]." {Nah 3:15-17} + "Andª the¹ shapesª of the¹ locustsª [were] like² unto¹ horsesª preparedª° untoª battle;ª andª onª their²¹ headsª [were] as it wereª crownsª likeª gold,ª andª their²¹ facesª [were] asª the facesª of men.ª ... Andª they hadª° a kingª overª them,²¹ [which is] the¹ angelª of the¹ bottomless pit,ª whoseª nameª in the Hebrew tongueª [is] Abaddon,ª butª inª the¹ Greek tongueª hathª° [his] nameª Apollyon.ª" {Rev 9:7-11}; After Cyrus had been the instrument in the hands of God of taking Babylon, he marched against Tomyris, queen of the Massagete, a Scythian nation, and was totally defeated (bc 530). The victorious queen, who had lost her son in a previous battle, was so incensed against Cyrus, that she cut off his head, and threw it into a vessel filled with human blood, exclaiming, "Sattia te sanguine, quem sitisti."
