“And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother.”
And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms. I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations. I will overthrow chariots and their riders. And the horses and their riders shall fall, every one by the sword of his brother—the cosmic shaking produces international chaos: thrones overturn, military power collapses, warriors fall. The 'sword of his brother' suggests internecine conflict; nations turn against each other. The promise of international upheaval establishes that God's covenant purposes transcend local history.
