Read Isaiah 18
The object of the prophecy of this chapter is thought to be Egypt, but not all commentators agree on this. The idea is clear, however. God will bring to judgement all nations who persecute his beloved bride. As the nation featured in this chapter is destroyed, other nations around must take notice. In this way the church is preserved, and ultimately God’s name will be glorified. For this we must hope; for this we must pray as we say, “Thy kingdom come.”
