Book of Isaiah Chapter 20 Summary

Prophecy au Naturel

  • In the year when the Assyrian King Sargon's commander-in-chief won a huge battle at the city of Ashdod, God ordered Isaiah to walk around barefoot and totally naked. 
  • God says that Isaiah—who does this whole nudist thing for three years—is a sign against Egypt and Ethiopia, many of whom are going to get taken prisoner by the Assyrians and be led away naked as slaves and exiles. 
  • People who live on the coastlands are going to wonder how they themselves can possibly escape, since the people they went to for help are now being conquered and enslaved.
