"The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: He uttered His voice, the earth melted... Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth" (Psalm 46:6,10). "There shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots... He shall smite the earth with the rod of His mouth... And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse... to it shall the Gentiles seek: and His rest shall be glorious" (Isaiah 11:1,4,10).
Consider how the heathen rage
(Which are foreseen in prophecy)
As Christ confronts them in that age
When they behold His majesty.
The wrath of God shall then be felt
When Satan's armies face the Lamb.
The Lord shall speak; the earth shall melt,
For Jesus is the great I AM.
Be still, and know that He is God;
The way of sinners shall be halted.
The Lord shall break them with His rod:
He'll speak the word and be exalted.
Our Savior came from heaven's throne
And grew up as the righteous Branch.
He died and rose for all His own,
And in His triumph we advance.
Promotion comes not from the south,
Nor from the east, nor from the west,
For judgment, Lord, comes from Your mouth;
How glorious then shall be Your rest!
Lord, thank You for that happy day
Our hearts were melted by Your Word.
How gracious are the things You say
As by Your mouth our soul is stirred!
