The name Maher-shalal-hash-baz means, “It’s all gonna go down really soon, TSHTF”.

Isaiah 8:1

8 Then Adonai said to me: “Take yourself a great tablet, and write on it with a man’s stylus: ‘Maher-shalal-hash-baz[a].’”

Isaiah 8:8-15

8 it will sweep on into Judah as a flood, and, pouring over, it will reach up to the neck; and its outspread wings will fill the breadth of your land, O Immanuel.

Band together, you peoples, and be dismayed;
    listen, all you far countries;
gird yourselves and be dismayed;
    gird yourselves and be dismayed!

10 

Take counsel together, but it shall be brought to naught;
    speak a word, but it will not stand,
    for God is with us.[a]

11 For the Lord spoke thus to me while his hand was strong upon me, and warned me not to walk in the way of this people, saying:

12 Do not call conspiracy all that this people calls conspiracy, and do not fear what it fears, or be in dread.

13 But the Lord of hosts, him you shall regard as holy; let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. 14 He will become a sanctuary, a stone one strikes against; for both houses of Israel he will become a rock one stumbles over—a trap and a snare for the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 15 And many among them shall stumble; they shall fall and be broken; they shall be snared and taken.
