"The Destruction Of Ethiopia"

Reference: Isaiah Chapter 18

Every nation, East, West, North, and South, shall be destroyed. There will be only one kingdom standing: the kingdom of God.

Let's read:

Isaiah 18:1 "Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia."

The woe was then to the nation of Ethiopia. Today, the woe is to every person who does not come and find safety in the blood of the second Adam. Woe to every unbeliever. Every man or woman who has not placed their faith in the blood of the second Adam.

We continue our reading:

Isaiah 18:2-4 "That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes upon the waters, saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation scattered and peeled, to a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden down, whose land the rivers have spoiled! [3] All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, see ye, when he lifteth up an ensign on the mountains; and when he bloweth a trumpet, hear ye. [4] For so the LORD said unto me, I will take my rest, and I will consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat upon herbs, and like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest."

God has lifted up one ensign to the whole world, and that was Jesus Christ hanging on a cross for the redemption of the whole world. This is the only way to God. Jesus Christ is like the sunlight after the rain, the dew In the painful heat of harvest. He is the living water to the parched, thirsty soul.

We conclude our reading:

Isaiah 18:5-7 "For afore the harvest, when the bud is perfect, and the sour grape is ripening in the flower, he shall both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and take away and cut down the branches. [6] They shall be left together unto the fowls of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth: and the fowls shall summer upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them. [7] 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."

Believers from all continents, nations, and tongues shall be guided unto Him. They shall be like a present delivered unto Him. But not so for the unbeliever. They are left for destruction.

Find safety in the blood of the second Adam. BELIEVE and confess Christ, the second Adam, as we revealed Him from the first Adam. Only one kingdom shall stand: the Kingdom of God, in Christ!
