Revelation 16:19

The great city split into three pieces, and cities all over the world came crashing down. God remembered Babylon and all her mess, and decided it was time to give her the full cup of his anger — no mercy, just pure wrath.

I'm going to bring them together as one nation in the land, up in the mountains of Israel. They'll have one king ruling over everyone, and they won't be split into two separate nations anymore — no more division, no more being torn apart.

I'm going to gather every nation and bring them down to the valley of Jehoshaphat. There, I'm going to call them out for what they did to my people — my heritage, Israel. They scattered them everywhere and divided up my land like it was theirs to take.
