And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.
When that day comes, God's going to stir up complete chaos among them. Everyone will turn on each other, neighbors grabbing neighbors, friends fighting friends. It's going to be total mayhem.
God's judgment day will turn enemies against each other in complete chaos.
