Isaiah 18
18
A Prophecy regarding Cush
1Ah, the land of whirring wings, # 18:1 Or “locusts.”
that is beyond the rivers of Cush, # 18:1 The Hebrew word kuwsh (Ethiopia, or modern-day Sudan) means “burned” or “darkened.”
2sending their messengers by the way of the Nile
in papyrus vessels gliding on the water!
Go, you swift messengers,
to a tall, smooth-skinned people # 18:2 The meaning of this Hebrew clause is uncertain. feared far and wide,
to a mighty conquering nation whose land the rivers divide. # 18:2 That is, the Upper Nile region. The land is divided by the White Nile and the Blue Nile rivers.
3Everyone everywhere, all who dwell on the earth,
when a signal flag is raised on the mountain, take notice!
When the shofar is blown, listen!
4Here is what the Lord Yahweh said to me:
“I will rest calm and confident # 18:4 See Isa. 57:20; 62:1; Heb. 3–4. as I look from my dwelling place, # 18:4 The body of Christ is now his dwelling place (see Eph. 2:19–22).
serene as on a pleasant summer day # 18:4 The meaning of this Hebrew clause is uncertain.
or as a cool, refreshing cloud # 18:4 See Isa. 19:1; 25:5; 44:22; 60:8. in the heat of harvest.”
5Before the harvest, when the bud is ripening
and the flower finishes, he will take his pruning hooks
and cut off the shoots and remove them.
6They will all be left for the birds of prey on the mountains
and for the wild animals to devour.
Birds will eat them throughout the summer,
and the animals will gnaw on the bones of the fallen all winter. # 18:6 Scripture often mentions birds of prey and wild animals as symbols of demonic powers.
7At that time, a tall, smooth-skinned people will bring gifts of tribute # 18:7 See Pss. 68:28–29; 76:11; Matt. 2:11.
to the Lord Yahweh, Commander of Angel Armies.
They are a people feared far and wide,
a mighty conquering nation whose land the rivers divide.
They will bring their gifts to Mount Zion,
the place of the name of the Lord Yahweh,
Commander of Angel Armies.
