Dimon is often identified with Dibon, a city in Moab, which was a region east of the Dead Sea. The imagery of waters full of blood suggests a great slaughter or calamity, possibly due to warfare or divine judgment. In biblical symbolism, blood often represents life taken violently, and here it underscores the severity of Moab's punishment. This aligns with the broader context of Isaiah's prophecies against the nations surrounding Israel, where God uses natural and military disasters as instruments of judgment.<p><b>but I will bring more upon Dimon</b><br>This part of the verse suggests that the current devastation is not the end; further judgment is to come. The use of "I will bring" indicates divine intervention, emphasizing that the calamities are not merely natural or coincidental but are orchestrated by God. This reflects the biblical theme of God's sovereignty over nations and His use of judgment to bring about repentance or to fulfill His purposes. The continuation of judgment upon Dimon serves as a warning to Moab and a reminder of the consequences of turning away from God.<p><b>a lion upon the fugitives of Moab</b><br>The lion is a common biblical symbol of strength, power, and often destruction. In this context, it represents a fierce and unstoppable force that will come upon those fleeing from Moab. The fugitives, likely those escaping the initial devastation, will not find safety, as the lion signifies further peril. This imagery is consistent with other biblical passages where God uses wild animals as instruments of judgment (e.g., <a href="/jeremiah/5-6.htm">Jeremiah 5:6</a>). The lion could also symbolize a powerful enemy or invading force that God will use to complete Moab's judgment.<p><b>and upon the remnant of the land</b><br>The "remnant" refers to those who survive the initial calamities. In biblical prophecy, a remnant often signifies a small, surviving group that remains after widespread destruction. However, in this context, even the remnant is not spared from judgment, highlighting the totality of God's decree against Moab. This serves as a stark reminder of the seriousness of divine judgment and the futility of relying on human strength or escape. The concept of a remnant is also significant in other parts of Scripture, where it sometimes represents hope and future restoration, but here it underscores the completeness of Moab's downfall.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/dimon.htm">Dimon</a></b><br>A location in Moab, possibly synonymous with Dibon, known for its waters.
