Ethiopia - Terrible from the Beginning

In Isaiah 18, the prophet exposes Ethiopia's lack of trust on God as evidenced by their turning to alliances to secure their safety. He also shows the salvation He brings to people who live in pagan nations. He takes the terrible of the terrible and humbles and converts them giving them rest. What is clear is that God judges all the nations in reference to their embracing the gospel given to Israel. This is another disclosure of the exclusivity of the gospel. This is why throughout these oracles against the nations, the prophet continues to proclaim the centrality of Judah – the line of Judah – the kingdom of David. This is the center around which all people and nations will be judged.
