The LORD of hosts mustereth the host of the battle, they come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the LORD and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land—the clear statement of divine agency in the assembly of armies and the provision of instruments of judgment. The phrase 'LORD and the weapons of his indignation' suggests that the armies themselves are understood as weapons through which God executes His judgment. This verse emphasizes God's absolute sovereignty over the military events that will destroy Babylon.
