Behold, I will make
Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall
be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
In ancient siege warfare, an attacker would at times throw up a
massive ramp of earth in order to gain entrance into a walled city and overcome
its inhabitants. Israel is increasingly being surrounded by the siege mounds of
her enemies. It is the first stage of encircling prior to the final assaults
against Jerusalem by the Antichrist. The Messiah is pleading with His people
for awakening. They are to respond by putting off the arm of the flesh and
turning to the only true source of protection. The Holy One of Israel will
gather them under His wings when they do so. Sadly, that time is not quite yet.
As it is written,
Zephaniah 1:15
That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and
distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess,
a day of clouds and thick darkness,
