Therefore I will bewail [bakah] with the weeping [Bakiy] of
Jazer [Ya`azeyr] the vine [gephen] of Sibmah [Sabam]: I will
water [ravah] thee with my tears [dim`ah], O Heshbon [Cheshbown], and
Elealeh ['El`ale']: for the shouting [heydad] for thy summer fruits [qayits] and for thy harvest [qatsiyr] is fallen [naphal]. KJV-Interlinear
9 Therefore
I will weep bitterly for Jazer, for the vine of Sibmah; I will drench you with
my tears, O Heshbon and Elealeh; For the shouting over your summer fruits and
your harvest has fallen away. NASB
In that future day, the destruction of Moab will be so great, the sorrow so deep, that even God will cry great tears, if it were possible for God to cry.
This is language of accommodation such that we can understand the vastness of the destruction and sorrow that will come upon Moab and the world, during and toward the end of the Tribulation.
God cannot cry or feel sorrow because He is perfect and perfectly contented with truth and life. But the point here is, that of the tremendous pain and suffering that the world will experience in those final days of history.
This distinguishes those days from all other times in history since Adam.
History has seen many terrible events, but none will come anywhere near the terribleness of those future days of destruction.
This is intended help us begin to understand that the Tribulation will be terrible beyond imagination. No one should want even his worst enemy to live in those days.
No one should want themselves to be living during the Tribulation.
Where there was once the celebration after a fabulous harvest, will be replaced with grieving beyond words, beyond expression, beyond imagination, even such terrible times that God Himself could be brought to tears, so to speak, if that were possible.
And as we are in our current dispensation, then everyone has the opportunity to believe in Christ and thus be assured that they will not be a part of the Tribulation. For one day, a day of which we do not know the schedule, there will be a Rapture which will end our dispensation and begin the Tribulation. Once the Rapture occurs, and if someone has not believed in Christ, then they have simply missed out on the opportunity to avoid the Tribulation.
They of course have the opportunity to believe and be saved, but they will face some terrible times during those next seven years, if they survive them at all. For during those seven years of the Tribulation, over ninty-nine percent of the population of the entire world will die, and not pleasantly. Very few will survive to the Second Advent and they that do survive will be believers in Christ only. No unbelievers will survive, none.
