I said that it was God telling people what would happen and the bible says:
"An oracle concerning Babylon that Isaiah son of Amoz saw" Isaiah 13:1
I said the Babylonians were deserving of destruction and the bible says:
"and destroy the sinners within it."
Isaiah 13:9
I said that God will allow an army to come against Babylon and might even stir it up and the bible says:
"See, I will stir up against them the Medes" Isaiah 13:17
"I have summoned my warriors to carry out my wrath— " Isaiah 13:3
But if anyone here reads the passage God clearly is stated as being responsible for summoning the army or stirring it up but as soon as the atrocities are described the language changes dramatically; many of the statements clearly use words like "I will" or "I have" but as soon as the atrocities begin the language changes dramatically to wording that DOES NOT include any directive from God:
"15 Whoever is captured will be thrust through;
all who are caught will fall by the sword.
16 Their infants will be dashed to pieces before their eyes;
their houses will be looted and their wives ravished. "
Then the bible even indicates who is responsible:
Their bows will strike down the young men;
they will have no mercy on infants
nor will they look with compassion on children.
