Isaiah 66:15: "For, behold, the Lord will come with fire, and his cars as a whirlwind; to make his wrath fury, and his rebuke into fire of fire." This verse talks about the coming of the Lord with fire to judge his enemies, which is similar to the description of the destruction of the enemies of Israel in Ezekiel 39.
Isaiah 66:18: "And I, knowing their works and their thoughts, come to gather all nations and tongues; they will come and contemplate my glory."
