A Message to Ethiopia. ● 7 verses ● 1 min
In Isaiah chapter 18, the prophet delivers a message to Ethiopia regarding their pride and arrogance. He says that God is watching them and will act on behalf of those who trust in him. The chapter also speaks of a future time when Ethiopia will bring tribute to the Lord and be a part of his people.
Isaiah chapter 18 is a powerful reminder of God's sovereignty over all nations. Despite Ethiopia's wealth and power, God sees their prideful ways and warns them of the consequences. Yet, there is hope and redemption for Ethiopia as they turn to the Lord. This chapter also foreshadows a future time when all nations will come to worship God and be a part of his kingdom. As we read Isaiah's message to Ethiopia, we are reminded that God calls us to come to him in humility and trust, recognizing that he alone is our source of hope and salvation.
Zion
Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia:
That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes upon the waters, saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation scattered and peeled, to a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden down, whose land the rivers have spoiled!
All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, see ye, when he lifteth up an ensign on the mountains; and when he bloweth a trumpet, hear ye.
For so the LORD said unto me, I will take my rest, and I will consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat upon herbs, and like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.
For afore the harvest, when the bud is perfect, and the sour grape is ripening in the flower, he shall both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and take away and cut down the branches.
They shall be left together unto the fowls of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth: and the fowls shall summer upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them.
In that time shall the present be brought unto the LORD of hosts of a people scattered and peeled, and from a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden under foot, whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of the LORD of hosts, the mount Zion.
