1. I will destroy it, yet not totally (1-10)

The LORD's judgment will be thorough. Temples would crash upon those inside. Those who escaped would be killed by the sword. There would be no place for people to hide, neither the depths nor the heavens nor the mountains nor the seas. Almighty God who created the heavens and the earth and the floods in the days of Noah, would find them all. God would shake Israel like grain in a sieve. Yet God would leave a remnant.

2. A glorious future hope (11-15)

A day would come when God would restore his people. Walls and ruins would be rebuilt. A future descendent of David would rule again and possess the historical enemy Edom and all nations that bear the LORD's name. This promise was fulfilled in Jesus Christ (Ac 15:16-17). In Christ, anyone can be restored into a personal relationship with God.
