Isaiah 59:19 So shall they fear

When the enemy comes in like a flood,
The Spirit of the LORD will lift up a standard against him.
i believe it really means flood. Tsunami.
West is shaken (start to fear
God)and as everyone CNN, BBC ,ABC call it the deadiest
disaster.
Rising of the sun(asia), will see his glory, more people know God
and many giving testimonies after testimonies on how God deliver
them from Tsunami. And more churches went to help and spread the
Good news.
this is a good story to read.

(Now this part i break from the
above and tell you how the devil works.)
I can say that the devil is still quite smart, he attack those seen
by people as innocent/weak and use natural disaster. so people
naturally point to God.
If devil sent earthquick and flood to Osama house and his camp, so
God will be more glorified right?(people will praise that God destory
Terrorism)
But in the bible it said that God's Final Judgement will come only
in the End times which is close to Jesus second comming. There's
still signs not fulfilled. 
(i'm saying that God will not send
judgement on anyone at this time. so that more will be
saved).
(now when i search the interent, i
found alot of people say it's God's judgement thus i wrote
this)
still many believer or worst, preacher forgot what God said,

Genesis 9:11
I establish my covenant with you: [b]Never again will all
life be cut off by the waters of a flood; never
again will there be a flood to destroy the earth."
(now talking about false
prophets)
false prophets strike fear in the heart of man. Those people will
eventually come to past (cannot stand the test of time) 
Written to the Loveless church.
Revelation 2:5
Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the
first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your
lampstand from its placeunless you repent.
-- i believe usually those churches cannot grow cos no
light to shine...
So christians Rejoy becos we have A Good God

Sorry, but really catch no ball. you seems to be suggesting
several things at one time.
but nevermind......lets assume that Isa 59:19 "literally" means a
flood. So...where is the "standard" ? Must be literal and
observable also right...if going by your explanations ?
