BACKGROUND
Here God describes the coming judgment of the Gentile nations. God will fight against His enemies on earth, and they will be destroyed. This may be the same battle described in Revelation 19:11-21, commonly referred to as Armageddon. It will be a humiliating defeat of the armies of the world that attack the Son of God. There will also be a bloodbath in the temple. Rather than sheep, goats, bulls, etc., being offered as sacrifices to God, God will "sacrifice" the wicked. Verses 9-10 describe destruction similar to that of Sodom and Gomorrah. Jesus said that just before His return, society will be much like it was in the days of Lot (Luke 17:28-30).
