Isaiah received prophecies against Damascus.
Does God issue any commands?
- God commands all to take note when the ensign is upon the mountain and the trumpet is sounded. (18:3)
Does God make any promises?
- The city of Damascus would be ruined.
- The cities of Aroer would become keeps for flocks.
- There would be crops and fruits left unharvested because of the haste of the harvesters.
Does this passage teach anything about Jesus?
- Jesus is the Holy One of Israel that men would respect as they turned away from their idols. 17:7
- We are told in the New Testament that Jesus is the vine. In this passage, 18:5, that God will prune the unfruitful branches.
Does this passage teach anything about yet-future events?
- Marching armies sound like the rush of the seas. God shall rebuke them and defeat them quickly. (Compare 17:12-14 with the final battle in Revelation.)
- All the inhabitants of the world and dwellers on earth will behold the ensign on the mountains and the sound of the trumpet. (Compare 18:3-5 with end time events of Revelation, including the analogy of grape harvest.)
- Offerings will be brought to the Lord upon Mount Zion. 18:7
