ISAIAH 66: 14-15 “And shall be known the hand of Jehovah toward His servants [“manifested in their behalf”], and He shall rage (over) His enemies. For, behold, Jehovah will come with [judgmental] fire, and His chariots [the might of His intercessory hosts- in a conspicuous display of power and influence will be] like the tempest, to bring back [at the appointed time] His fury in wrath, and His rebuke in flames of fire [to judge and punish His enemies].”

JEREMIAH 51:49-50 “As Babylon [the center of a formidable political world power of underground organized crime- labeled as a commissioned "vigilante force" - involved in a secret bid for worldwide domination] is to fall (for) the slain [those defeated and brought down] of Israel, so for Babylon shall fall for the slain [the warriors of the regime of terror] of all the earth."
ISAIAH 66:16 “For by fire [of the holy indignation] Jehovah will judge, and with His [condemning or vindicating] sword [will execute judgment] with all flesh; and shall be many the slain of Jehovah [brought down in defeat].”
Verse 16 “Those who sanctify themselves [to be blessed- as “Mighty God’s”] and purify themselves to the gardens [for ablutions, as ones consecrated and approved- free from sin], behind (each) one [are hands given to injustice and oppression] in the midst of eaters of flesh of the swine [symbolizing things that are held as heathenish and abominably wicked rituals] and (are in the midst of) the hateful thing [of desolating abominations].”

ISAIAH 66:3 “’But whoever sacrifices a bull [as a substitute offering for sin, in lieu of repentance is] like one who kills [the eternal soul of] a man, and whoever offers a lamb [the life blood of the innocent in payment for the guilty, is] like one who breaks a dogs neck [further depriving the sinner of conscious guilt for wrongdoing]; he offering a present [the life blood of another- as a charge levied by legal authority] (as) (one who presents) blood of swine [an abominable, heathenish and wickedly evil offering]…’”
