Spend Itself - Ezekiel 5:11-13

Ezekiel 5:11-13 ESV 
Therefore, as I live, declares the Lord God, surely, because you have defiled my sanctuary with all your detestable things and with all your abominations, therefore I will withdraw. My eye will not spare, and I will have no pity. A third part of you shall die of pestilence and be consumed with famine in your midst; a third part shall fall by the sword all around you; and a third part I will scatter to all the winds and will unsheathe the sword after them.
 “Thus shall my anger spend itself, and I will vent my fury upon them and satisfy myself. And they shall know that I am the Lord —that I have spoken in my jealousy— when I spend my fury upon them.

Here we see God's judgement pronounced against Jerusalem for their rebellion. In Revelation this judgement will be restated when the seals are opened and the four horseman come forth by command. 

His anger will spend itself and they shall know He is Lord.  A remnant will be saved.  Twelve tribes from Jacob will be redeemed at the end and they will give witness to The Lord.  They will follow after Him and a great multitude from the world will be saved.
