The Lord of angel armies is with us. The God of Jacob is our strong defensive protection. Come and watch the works of the Lord, who can cause both mighty desolations and amazing miracles on the earth.

He will bring an end to wars across earth. He will break the weapons of war like snapping a twig, and destroy military equipment with fire.

The nations tremble, the kingdoms stagger and sway. He raises His voice to speak and the earth crumbles.

God says “Be still and know (recognize, understand) that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations! I will be exalted in the earth.”

God is our solid protection and our strength. He is ever-present to help in times of trouble. So we will not be afraid even if the earth quakes, or the mountains topple into the sea, or the oceans roar and storm and make the hills shake.
