Book of Isaiah Chapter 18 Summary

Papyrus Cruise

  • Next, Isaiah talks about what will happen to Ethiopia, the land that sends ambassadors up the Nile in papyrus ships to transmit messages.
  • Isaiah tells swift messengers to go to Ethiopia, a land of people "tall and smooth." The Ethiopians are considered to be mighty rulers, controlling a wide kingdom.
  • Addressing everyone in the world, Isaiah says that God will appear like the heat on a sunny day or a cloud of dew during the harvest. He'll destroy the harvest, tossing the shoots and branches to the birds of prey and the animals of the earth.
  • After all that's happened, the Ethiopians will come and bring gifts to God at Mount Zion.
