Soldiers of the Future

http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D90M7EDO7&show_article=1&image=large

"Like dawn spreading over the mountains,
a people numerous and mighty!
Their like has not been from of old,
nor will it be after them,
even to the years of distant generations.
Before them a fire devours,
and after them a flame enkindles;
Like the garden of Eden is the land before them,
and after them a desert waste;
from them there is no escape.

Their appearance is that of horses;
like steeds they run.
As with the rumble of chariots
they leap on the mountaintops;
As with the crackling of a fiery flame
devouring stubble;
Like a might people
arrayed for battle.
Before them peoples are in torment,
every face blanches.

Like warriors they run,
like soldiers they scale the wall;
They advance, each in his own lane,
No one crowds another,
each advances in his own track;
Though they fall into the ditches,
they are not checked.

They assault the city,
they run upon the wall,
they climb into the houses;
In at the windows
they come like thieves.
Before them the earth trembles,
the heavens shake;
The sun and the moon are darkened,
and the stars withhold their brightness.

The Lord raises his voice
at the head of his army;
For immense indeed is his camp,
yes, mighty, and it does his bidding.
For great is the day of the Lord,
and exceedingly terrible; who can bear
it?"

Joel 2:2-11
