The Wise Man Built His House Upon the Rock

Greetings in the Lord! For the past couple of weeks, I've been led to read a lot from Isaiah 21, 16, and 6.  The first two are similar because they talk about some of Israel's enemies--Moab, Babylon, Edom, etc. getting what is due them for all their wicked behavior.  Basically, it's cosmic payback time.  The chapter verses tell about invaders coming to destroy their cities and all of the people are in flight for their lives.  In Isaiah 21, a watchman is told to look for oncoming chariots, pairs of horses and other riders on donkeys and camels--indications that attackers were coming.  He eventually sees them in the distance and announces that "Babylon is fallen, fallen!  All the idols of Babylon lie broken on the ground!"  O my people, threshed and winnowed, I have told you everything the Lord of Heaven's Armies has said, everything the God of Israel has told me.

Coyote setting up failed traps for the Roadrunner over and over.  Seriously.  And every time Coyote sets up the rock or bomb or pit to catch the Roadrunner, it not only not works, but it backfires on himself.  So it
