READING LIST FOR POETRY AND PROPHECY

Today's Reading is Isaiah 18, Psalm 43

Isaiah 18 The burden was against Cush. This included Today's Ethiopia, the Sudan and Somalia. Isaiah called Cush a land of whirring wings because of the insects such as locusts that plagued the land but also because of activities to head off an attack from the Assyrians. God told Cush not ot worry about Assyria because He would take care of them in His own way, not by diplomatic or military means. We need to put our trust in God not man's ability to solve problems in our lives whether it is a personal, family, community or international problem.



Notice the frantic activities of the humans in verse 1-3 compared to to God who is at peace. God will harvest the world for judgement, v. 5-7. Assyria is pictured as a vine ready to be picked. In verse 6 Isaiah spoke about the birds and animals will feast on them. This was fulfilled in Isaiah 37,36 when birds and beasts fest on the corpse of 185,000 Assyrians troops. This will also be fulfilled in the future as mentioned in Revelation 14.14-20; 19.17-21.

When the Messianic kingdom is established, the Gentile nations will bring gifts and worship God at Mount Zion. (Isaiah 60.1-7).
