Isaiah 13: the fall of Babylon

 Was Isaiah 13 written after the fall of Assyria? If not, it is very interesting this prophecy against Babylon by the Medes (v 17). The Medes were called saints in the sense that they were separated to the Lord to carry out his anger (v 3). Although the destruction of Babylon will be made by men we read:

6 Cry loudly, for the day of Yahweh is near.

    It will come like destruction from Shadday.

This destruction will be very severe:

22 Hyenas will howl in Babylon’s strongholds,

    and jackals will howl in its luxurious palaces.
