Isaiah 18 - 22

Isaiah declares a message from God against those from Ethiopia, telling them that a day is coming when they will honor the God of Judah and those who do not will fall to His great power.  Egypt is warned that her vast resources will not outlast the strength of God; all that they look to for reputation and fame will be destroyed.  However, the land of Egypt, Assyria and Israel will be blessed by God because of those who will remain loyal to Him.  The land may be destroyed, but there will be a preserved segment of the populace of those lands.  Isaiah then makes prophetic statements regarding the fall of Babylon as a world power, and tells of Jerusalem's future honor and glory for those who were obedient to Him.
