Isaiah 11-13: Reclaiming a Remnant

Someday, God is going to do a marvelous thing.  A thing that will cause us to:
"Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name;
make known among the nations what he has done,
and proclaim that his name is exalted.
Sing to the LORD, for he has done glorious things;
let this be known to all the world. - Is. 12:4-5 NIV

In that day the Root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples; the nations will rally to him, and his place of rest will be glorious.  In that day the Lord will reach out his hand a second time to reclaim the remnant that is left of his people from Assyria, from Lower Egypt, from Upper Egypt, from Cush, from Elam, from Babylonia, from Hamath and from the islands of the sea.
He will raise a banner for the nations and gather the exiles of Israel;
he will assemble the scattered people of Judah from the four quarters of the earth. Is. 11:10-12 NIV

It isn't just our nation that is crumbling, that is falling into decadence, depression and decay.  It is the whole earth that is groaning.  Two things are converging:  wickedness and righteouesness.  But God is raising an army, an army that will only follow the true God, an army that will be victorious, an army that will come from the four corners of the earth. 

Listen, a noise on the mountains, like that of a great multitude!
Listen, an uproar among the kingdoms,
like nations massing together!
The LORD Almighty is mustering an army for war.
They come from faraway lands, from the ends of the heavens—
the LORD and the weapons of his wrath—
to destroy the whole country. - Is. 13:4-5 NIV

Listen, you can hear the noise.  It may be faint, but it is growing in every nation of the earth.  Here it is from Australia.
