Next is the ancient enemy of Israel, Moab (modern day Jordan). They felt their nation impenetrable and their armies unconquerable. From a human perspective they were nearly right. But not before God!
Ammon (also a neighboring enemy of Israel, to the north of Moab, and also in modern day Jordan) is next on the list. From here, Israel's enemies are listed off for defeat heading east to modern day Iran ("Elam") and finally to Babylon "the Great." No power will withstand the Lord's judgment!

Once again. .. the command to worship ONLY our one true God! God is serious!! 48:13...all of these areas are being destroyed mainly because of their worshiping other gods... Chemosh and Bethel examples. In spite of all this wrath...I love God's heart for the orphans and widows! 49:11 "Abandon your fatherless. .I will preserve them. .. let your widows trust in Me." Right smack in the middle of all this wrath! Boy, how many times. . over and over. . throughout the Bible does God show His heart for the widows and orphans. :)
