Isaiah 18:
Woe to Ethiopia (Cush), land of
locusts and papyrus boats. Ethiopians, a people that are tall and smooth,
feared from far and wide, aggressive nation with a strange speech, and divided
by rivers. All nations must know that Ethiopia always expects a good harvest
but I will cut it before them and give it to the birds and the wild beast for
food. Success and celebration is in God's hands. God allows success in
order for you to glorify him. Without God, you can do everything right and
be rewarded handsomely with nothing.
Isaiah 19:
God rides on a swift cloud to
Egypt and all the idols and gods of Egypt trembles. I will turn their brothers
and neighbors against each other and all their plans will come to nothing. They
will consult their idols and spirits of the dead, but God will give them a cruel
master to rule over them. Everything in Egypt will give a reverse result.
Rivers will dry up, canal will stink, grass will wither, fishermen’s nets from
the Nile will come up empty, and advisers of Pharaoh will give senseless
advice. God was going to turn Egypt into his worshipper. God will also put
his altar in the middle of Egypt and God’s monument at its borders. Egypt,
Assyria, and Israel will all worship God together. These are all Africans
nations who are descendants of Ham. |

Isaiah 20:
God made Isaiah take off his shoes
and walked barefooted for 3 years as a sign of how Assyria will take captives
from Egypt (Mazraim) and Ethiopia (Cush) naked. Then nations who once relied on
them to deliver them from the Assyrians would loss heart. According to Genesis
10:10-11, the Assyrians were children of Ethiopia and nephews of Egypt, so the
Assyrians were also an African people. So is God using a younger
generation to disgrace an older one and is that why the neighboring nations are
relying on Egypt and Ethiopia to check their troublesome descendants - the
Assyrians?
