“On that day the slain of Yahweh will be from one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth; they will not be lamented, nor gathered up, nor buried; they will be dung on the surface of the ground.
“On that day.” Although this verse occurs in the general context of the destruction of Judah by Babylon, the phrase “On that day,” which is often used of the Day of the Lord, especially together with the phrase, “from one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth,” makes this verse a distinct prophecy of the future Tribulation spoken of in the Book of Revelation. [For more on the Great Tribulation spoken of by the prophets and Jesus Christ, see commentary on Isaiah 13:9].
