  1. The God of the world and of history<\/em>. There is one great northern kingdom who conquers and destroys all the other kingdoms in the area. But there is a God above, even greater, who is behind all this – even if His motives aren\u2019t always clear. That\u2019s the message of the chapter.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. It will all work out in the end<\/em>. Some prophecies of destruction end with promises that in the distant future there will be a return, and a restoration. In this chapter, Ammon (v. 6) and Elam (v. 39) merit this consolation. In previous chapters, Egypt (46) and Moab (48) received the upbeat future tidings.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. The Sodom code<\/em>. When the prophet says \u201clike the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah\u201d (v. 18), he is making a double reference. That phrase emphasizes the depth and finality of the destruction, and also hints at the reasons for it. If we combine this with what was said about Edom in verse 16-7, we have a detailed writ of indictment of the kingdom.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Safe and secure nomads<\/em>. There arises a picture from the prophecy to the Arabian tribes of \u201ca tranquil nation That dwells secure…That has no barred gates, That dwells alone\u201d (v. 31). No enemies or walls. Just tents and tentflaps, sheep and camels. Babylonia\u2019s destruction of this tranquility is painful to hear about.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. How long<\/em>? Babylon, shall the sword devour forever? Wait patiently for one more chapter. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","image":{"ID":86314,"id":86314,"title":"Points to
