Perhaps someone would like to give their idea as to what the 'Sword' the Lord will use on His Day of wrath, will be?
[SIZE=medium]Isaiah 34:5-8 [/SIZE][SIZE=medium]The Lord has a Day of vengeance[/SIZE][SIZE=medium], the Redeemer of Zion has a time for retribution. [/SIZE][SIZE=medium]His sword will appear in the sky, see how it descends in judgement[/SIZE][SIZE=medium] onto a people whom the Lord has doomed to destruction. Great will be [/SIZE][SIZE=medium]the slaughter in Edom[/SIZE][SIZE=medium] and He has [/SIZE][SIZE=medium]a sacrifice in Bozrah[/SIZE][SIZE=medium], His sword of punishment will be sated with blood, the earth will drink deeply of their blood.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]Isaiah 63:1-6 [/SIZE][SIZE=medium]Who is this, coming from [/SIZE][SIZE=medium]Bozrah[/SIZE][SIZE=medium] and [/SIZE][SIZE=medium]Edom[/SIZE][SIZE=medium] with His garments splashed with blood, striding along in His mighty power? It is the Lord, proclaiming victory, He who is strong to save. [/SIZE][SIZE=medium]He treads the winepress of the nations[/SIZE][SIZE=medium], with no one to help Him. He tramples them in His fury, shatters them in His anger and spills their blood all over the ground. The Lord has resolved on a Day of vengeance, because [/SIZE][SIZE=medium]the year for redeeming His own has come[/SIZE][SIZE=medium]. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]Jeremiah 49:12-13 & 22 [/SIZE][SIZE=medium]These are the Words of the Lord: Those who were not doomed to drink the cup of My wrath, must drink it none the less: are you alone to go unpunished? You will not be spared, [/SIZE][SIZE=medium]I will judge you as well.[/SIZE][SIZE=medium] I will swoop down upon [/SIZE][SIZE=medium]Bozrah[/SIZE][SIZE=medium] and on that Day, [/SIZE][SIZE=medium]Edom[/SIZE][SIZE=medium] will lose all their strength. I swear that [/SIZE][SIZE=medium]Bozrah[/SIZE][SIZE=medium] will become desolate, an object of reproach and all her towns will be ruined forever. [/SIZE][SIZE=medium][Not for all time, see: Ezekiel 36:33-36, Isaiah 61:4][/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]Amos 1:12 [/SIZE][SIZE=medium]I shall send fire[/SIZE][SIZE=medium] to consume the palaces of [/SIZE][SIZE=medium]Bozrah.[/SIZE] [SIZE=medium]Ref: REB, NIV. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]Bozrah[/SIZE][SIZE=medium] – Hebrew = a sheepfold, also means: glad tidings. At present Bozrah can be identified as the place where the true descendants of Jacob currently side.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]Edom[/SIZE][SIZE=medium] – the descendants of Esau, a metaphor for non-Israelite peoples. Edom may represent every other nationality of the world. [/SIZE]
