Some of the prophecies of Isaiah are not intended for the ears of the Israelites, but for other nations, such as the inhabitants of Egypt, Kedar, Moab, Seir, Tyre, Sidon, Damascus, Chaldea, Assyria, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

Isaiah’s prophecy in our chapter is unique. It is not intended for the ears of a specific nation only, neither foreign nor Israelite. It is a worldwide prophecy which is intended for all the world’s nations and inhabitants.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In our chapter, Isaiah foresees that The LORD will strip the earth bare, lay it waste, twist its surface, and scatter its inhabitants. The earth will be bare and plundered. The earth will be withered and sear. The most exalted people of the earth will languish. Terror, pit and trap will be everywhere, or \u2013 more accurately \u2013 almost everywhere.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOn Mount Zion in Jerusalem, from where The Lord will reign, the Presence \u2013 instead of terror, pit and trap \u2013 will be revealed to The Lord’s elders.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Isaiah’s prophecy in our chapter came true at least three times throughout history.<\/span><\/p>\n

First, in the days of Isaiah himself and King Hezekiah of Judea. In the 8th century BCE the great Assyrian Empire, who had stripped the earth bare and scattered its inhabitants, failed to conquer Jerusalem. In one night in front of walls of Jerusalem God killed 180,000 Assyrian soldiers and give King Hezekiah the ability to govern Judah peacefully from Zion.<\/span><\/p>\n

Second, in the 20<\/span>th<\/span> century C.E. during the First World War. Then again the earth was filled with bloodshed, terror, pit and trap. Millions of its inhabitants were killed and scattered. But the city of Jerusalem fell into the hands of the British Empire with no bloodshed. Sir Herbert Samuel, appointed to the position of High Commissioner for Palestine, became the first Jew to govern the historic Land of Israel in 2000 years, from 1920 until 1925. High Commissioner Samuel stepped on Mount Zion, was called to the Torah at the Hurva synagogue in the Old City of Jerusalem, and enabled the scattered Jewish nation to come back from the diaspora to its historic homeland. What a pity so few did.<\/span><\/p>\n

Third, again in the 20th century, during the Second World War, in which hundreds of millions were killed, languished and scattered, the Jewish people in the diaspora faced genocide and holocaust. Many cities were bombed and destroyed, and terror, pit and trap were almost everywhere. But Jerusalem again was saved from the horrors of war. Instead “the elders in Zion” soon became the first Jews in 2000 years to govern independently the Land of Israel.<\/span><\/p>\n
