Joe: Alright, so what we got here?

Bible Expert: This chapter is about God's judgment upon Babylon, which is a city in Iraq.

Joe: Wait, Iraq? That's like the Middle East, right?

Bible Expert: Yeah, it is.

Jamie: Hey Joe, I just looked it up and it's actually one of the oldest cities in the world.

Joe: Wow that's crazy! Alright, go on.

Bible Expert: So God sends an army to destroy Babylon and it says that the stars in the heavens and the constellations will not show their light. The sun will be dark and the moon will not give its light.

Joe: So, like, the whole world is going to be in darkness?

Bible Expert: That's right. It also says that the people of Babylon are terrified and they are filled with terror.

Joe: That doesn't sound like a very pleasant time.

Bible Expert: No, it doesn't. But God promises that he will have mercy on his people and that he will bring them home.
