Isaiah chapter 13

5: They come from a far country,
from the end of heaven.


Who is they? What country
Is from the end of heaven?
in the immediate context of Babylon it was clearly Persia/Iran

Isaiah 13:17​
"Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them"
in the context of eschatology clearly it's Jesus the Christ and His angels.

Matthew 16:27​
For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works.

Do you believe these are real gods
Not gods of stone and wood?
But real gods that came from heaven?
[Isa 1:29 KJV]
For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.

you really don't know Who He is?

He says His name constantly

John 18:5-6​
They answered Him,
"Jesus of Nazareth."
Jesus said to them,
"I AM"
And Judas, who betrayed Him, also stood with them. Now when He said to them, "I AM" they drew back and fell to the ground.
Exodus 3:14-15
And He said,
"Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, 'I AM has sent me to you.'"
Moreover God said to Moses,
"Thus you shall say to the children of Israel: 'The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is My name forever, and this is My memorial to all generations.'"
Then who is Jehovah?

There is not a period midsentence
at the end of that part of the verse.
The answer to both your questions lays in
a fullness of the scriptures of the Word.

Isaiah 13:5
5 They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the Lord, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.
Where is the far country
from the end of heaven?

[Rev 9:15-19 KJV]
15 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.

16 And the number of the army of the horsemen [were] two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.

17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses [were] as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.

18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.

19 For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails [were] like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.
Is there any thing
written about horses
In Joel chapter 2?

Revelation chapter 14 verse 4
These are they which are not defiled with women for they are virgins.

This indicates
Even if you marry a woman
You are deviled by her
If you do not remain a virgin.

What do you make of this verse?

Where is the far country
from the end of heaven?
They are of all countries and nations
from even the uttermost parts of Heaven and Earth.
This is seen in the previous verse.
The Lord gather the kingdoms of nations together,
the Lord musters the host of the battle.

Isaiah 13:4
4 The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the Lord of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.

What is the law concerning adultery?
don't you know that those who have been baptized into Christ were baptized into His death?

Judges 19:1-3​
And it came to pass in those days, when there was no king in Israel, that there was a certain Levite staying in the remote mountains of Ephraim. He took for himself a concubine from Bethlehem in Judah. But his concubine played the harlot against him, and went away from him to her father's house at Bethlehem in Judah, and was there four whole months.
Then her husband arose and went after her, to speak kindly to her and bring her back, having his servant and a couple of donkeys with him. So she brought him into her father's house; and when the father of the young woman saw him, he was glad to meet him.

No, I was not baptized into the death of anything. I passed from death into life.
Matthew 22:32
God is not the God of the dead
but of the living.

I was baptized
Into the resurrection of Christ

Romans 6:3-4​
Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

Obey Jesus.

My obedience
Is my praise
If they did not obey Jesus,
then they would not be the firstfruits,
the firstclass most faithful Apocalyptic virgin saints,
as they are called in that same verse,
and also knowing what happens to the children of the whore of Babylon,
in verse 12, that we will patiently wait for and see with our own eyes.

I perceive a theme in your wondering of the Bible,
there are indeed numerous links,
between Joel 2, Isaiah 13, and Revelation 14.
I won't spoil the story for you, but the climax of the entirety of this battle, the Bible taken as a whole,
and even the entirety of the universe and physical reality, the creation and all history,
it is even written in Revelation 20.
I suppose I could tease
and ask coy questions like clickbait,
"what side will win?" "the winner of this battle will shock you read below!"
but we all know it will be our King, the mighty Lamb.
The battle will not even be close.
Yea, it will be a very one-sided win.
Praise Jesus.

So you're going to be
Rewarded as according
To the works of someone else
other than you?
Philippians 2:13-14​
it is God who works in you
both to will
and to do
for His good pleasure.
Do all things without complaining
and disputing
