Mass Killing

Then I saw a vision of the Lord standing beside the altar.  He said, “Strike the tops of the Temple columns so hard that the foundation will shake.  Smash the columns so the roof will crash down on the people below.  Then those who survive will be slaughtered in battle.  No one will escape!  “Even if they dig down to the place of the dead, I will reach down and pull them up.  Even if they climb up into the heavens, I will bring them down.  Even if they hide at the very top of Mount Carmel, I will search them out and capture them.  Even if they hide at the bottom of the ocean, I will send the great sea serpent after them to bite and destroy them.  Even if they are driven into exile, I will command the sword to kill them there.  I am determined to bring disaster upon them and not to help them.”  (Amos 9:1-4 NLT)
