Read Isa. 3:11-26
There are not too many times God stands up, but it is always connected with judgment. This looks to me like the Great Judgment where God judges the whole earth. In the Old Testament they were told not to reap the corners of their fields but to leave them for the poor. In the end God will reap the four corners of the earth. Everything will be reaped and the wicked will be judged. In Daniel the archangel Michael stands up and ushers in a great time of tribulation for the nations but deliverance for everyone whose name is found written in the book. When God judges he has a senate that judge with him and they always judge the leaders first. The counsel of God first deals with their treatment of the poor and helpless. Then they deal with the pride and arrogance of the fashionable women who are covered from head to foot with every kind of adornment but their hearts are empty and black. Her beauty and beautiful things will be cursed and she will find herself widowed because of war. Revelation calls this woman Babylon. Revelations says of her, "the light of a lamp shall not shine in you anymore, and the voice of the bridegroom and bride shall not be heard in you anymore. For your merchants were the great men of the earth, for by your sorcery all the nations were deceived."
We join with heaven in saying, "Alleluia! Salvation and glory and honor and power belong to the Lord our God! For true and righteous are Your judgments."
