MOAB

The Moab nation was started with an incestuous encounter between Lot [Abrahams nephew] and Lots firstborn daughter.

.

Gen 19:36 Thus both the daughters of Lot were with child by their father.

Gen 19:37 The firstborn bore a son and called his name Moab; he is the father of the Moabites to this day.

.

Moab forms part of the nation of modern-day Jordan.

.

The Moabites are one of the ten nations, which combine to destroy Israel.

.

Psa 83:4 They have said, “Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”

Psa 83:5 For they have consulted together with one consent; They form a confederacy against You:

Psa 83:6 The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab and the Hagrites;

.

Isaiah 15 gives an account of the eventual punishment of the Moabites.

.

Isa 15:1 The burden against Moab. Because in the night Ar of Moab is laid waste And destroyed, Because in the night Kir of Moab is laid waste And destroyed,

Isa 15:2 He has gone up to the temple and Dibon, To the high places to weep. Moab will wail over Nebo and over Medeba; On all their heads will be baldness, And every beard cut off.

Isa 15:3 In their streets they will clothe themselves with sackcloth; On the tops of their houses And in their streets Everyone will wail, weeping bitterly.

Isa 15:4 Heshbon and Elealeh will cry out, Their voice shall be heard as far as Jahaz; Therefore the armed soldiers of Moab will cry out; His life will be burdensome to him.

Isa 15:5 “My heart will cry out for Moab; His fugitives shall flee to Zoar, Like a three-year-old heifer. For by the Ascent of Luhith They will go up with weeping; For in the way of Horonaim They will raise up a cry of destruction,

Isa 15:6 For the waters of Nimrim will be desolate, For the green grass has withered away; The grass fails, there is nothing green.

Isa 15:7 Therefore the abundance they have gained, And what they have laid up, They will carry away to the Brook of the Willows.

Isa 15:8 For the cry has gone all around the borders of Moab, Its wailing to Eglaim And its wailing to Beer Elim.

Isa 15:9 For the waters of Dimon will be full of blood; Because I will bring more upon Dimon, Lions upon him who escapes from Moab, And on the remnant of the land.”

.

Moab will become as Sodom.

.

Zep 2:8 “I have heard the reproach of Moab, And the insults of the people of Ammon, With which they have reproached My people, And made arrogant threats against their borders.

Zep 2:9 Therefore, as I live,” Says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, “Surely Moab shall be like Sodom, And the people of Ammon like Gomorrah— Overrun with weeds and saltpits, And a perpetual desolation. The residue of My people shall plunder them, And the remnant of My people shall possess them.”

Zep 2:10 This they shall have for their pride, Because they have reproached and made arrogant threats Against the people of the LORD of hosts.

.

Moabites are not completely destroyed, but they are left a small small nation after their punishment.

.

Isa 16:13 This is the word which the LORD has spoken concerning Moab since that time.

Isa 16:14 But now the LORD has spoken, saying, “Within three years, as the years of a hired man, the glory of Moab will be despised with all that great multitude, and the remnant will be very small and feeble.”

.

Jer 48:47 “Yet I will bring back the captives of Moab In the latter days,” says the LORD. Thus far is the judgment of Moab.

.

That is their punishment for helping to bring down Gods chosen nation: Israel.
