- The heavens and earth mentioned as dissolving in Isaiah 13 refer to the people of Babylon. In a series of statements about Babylon we read that God "will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place...it shall be as the chased roe...they shall every man turn to his own people, and flee every one into his own land" (Is.13:13,14). The fleeing away of the heavens and earth is thus parallelled with that of the people. Heb. 9:26 speaks of the "end of the world" as occurring in the first century A.D.
Mbingu na nchi zilizotajwa zikifumuliwa au kunyauka katika Isaya 13 wanatajwa watu wa Babeli. katika mfululizo wa taarifa kuhusu Babeli tunasoma ya kuwa Mungu'atazitetemesha mbingu, na dunia itatikiswa itoke katika mahali pake ….. itakuwa kama vile paa aliyetikiswa ….. kila mtu atageukia watu wake, nao watakimbia, kila mtu aende nchi yake mwenyewe" (Isa. 13:13,14).
