Isaiah 18: The Burden of Ethiopia

Isaiah 18:7 KJV — In that time shall the present be brought unto the LORD of hosts of a people scattered and peeled, and from a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden under foot, whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of the LORD of hosts, the mount Zion.

In a dense book, this is a particularly challenging chapter.

Commentaries disagree on most every verse in this short prophecy, even to which Ethiopia might be referenced (their was an African empire and an Arabian nation of that name).

I’m at a personal impasse and it seems I’m running into a similar problem with Scripture.

I’m going to take another day to research this chapter and pray to post more insights tomorrow.
