People disintegrating like in a nuclear blast

Isaiah 30:33: [33] For Tophet is ordained of old; yea, for the king it is prepared; he hath made it deep and large: the pile thereof is fire and much wood; the breath of the LORD, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it.

"It's this place of Tophet where Jesus Christ sets the earth on fire and it burns down into that lowest part of hell and goes down into the heart of the earth," explains Richard Jordan. "He sets the earth on fire down south of the Dead Sea, which is where Tophet is, and it burns down into the center of the earth, into the place called hell, which has different compartments in it. Tophet is where He sends the Antichrist at the judgment there and He prepares it.

[30] And the LORD shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall shew the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tempest, and hailstones.
[31] For through the voice of the LORD shall the Assyrian be beaten down, which smote with a rod.

"All those things associated with His coming--'the breath of the LORD, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it.' He's literally going to set that place on fire and put it on public view so there's a monument to demonstrate what it cost to follow Satan's lie program and the natural consequences of what sin is.

"When He talks in Habakkuk, He mentions 'the burning coals went forth at his feet.' That's bringing together all that judgment, wrath and vengeance, setting things right and God destroying His enemies.

Habakkuk 3: [5] Before him went the pestilence, and burning coals went forth at his feet.

[6] He stood, and measured the earth: he beheld, and drove asunder the nations; and the everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills did bow: his ways are everlasting.

"That pestilence is described over in Zechariah 14. This is the stuff that Star Wars is made out of. When you try to envision some of this apocalyptic kind of stuff, you look at it and say, 'Whoah!' and the reason it's laid out in a demonstrative way is so you can understand the deadliness of what sin is and how it works; the terribleness of iniquity and transgressing and following Satan's lie program.

"Satan's lie is, 'I've got a better end than God does. Follow me and the results will be better than following God.' Well, this isn't a better end.

Zechariah 14: [2] For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

[3] Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.

"So the battle against Jerusalem in the last day, here's what He's going to do when He comes to judge all those nations round about Jerusalem.

Zechariah 14: [12] And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.

[13] And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.

"Notice that description in verse 12. The nearest thing you can see that in in the world is if you've ever seen a picture of a nuclear blast. That shockwave comes across the landscape and you see people . . . 

"If you remember in Nevada where they did the first nuclear blast, maybe you've seen some of the news reels of that. You just see people, literally piece by piece, disintegrating. That kind of effect is what's going to be happening when the Lord speaks the Word and sends the pestilence out.

"There's literally going to be a disintegration; a melting of the elements, and not just the elements of the world, but of people. The specifics describing this situation describe the thoroughness, the horror of this judgment.

"That's why Habakkuk says in verse 2, [2] O LORD, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid: O LORD, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy.

"We know God does, but here is the unmixed wrath of God against sin. What God's wrath against sin is really demonstrating is just what sin accomplishes."
