“This is to me as in the days of Noah, when I swore that the waters of Noah would no more flood the earth. So I swear to have no more anger toward you, never again to rebuke you. For the mountains shall be removed and the hills collapse with shaking, but my charity toward you shall never be removed, nor my covenant of peace be shaken, says Jehovah, who has compassion on you.” (Isaiah 54:9–10)
“For Jehovah will rise up as he did on Mount Perazim, and be stirred to anger, as in the Valley of Gibeon—to perform his act, his unwonted act, and do his work, his bizarre work. Now therefore scoff not, lest your bonds grow severe, for I have heard utter destruction decreed by my Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, upon the whole earth.” (Isaiah 28:21–22)
“O my people who inhabit Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrians, though they strike you with the rod or raise their staff over you, as did the Egyptians. For my anger will very soon come to an end; my wrath will become their undoing. Jehovah of Hosts will raise the whip against them, as when he struck the Midianites at the Rock of Oreb. His staff is over the Sea, and he will lift it over them as he did to the Egyptians. In that day their burdens shall be lifted from your shoulders, their yoke [removed] from your neck.” (Isaiah 10:24–27)
“Thus says Jehovah concerning the king of Assyria: He shall not enter this city or shoot an arrow here. He shall not advance against it with armor, nor erect siegeworks against it. By the way he came he shall return; he shall not enter this city, says Jehovah. I will protect this city and save it, for my own sake and for the sake of my servant David.” (Isaiah 37:33–35)
“O that you would rend the heavens and descend, the mountains melting at your presence—as when fire is lit for boiling water, which bubbles over from the heat—to make yourself known to your adversaries, the nations trembling at your presence—as when you performed awesome things unexpected by us: your descent [of old], when the mountains quaked before you!” (Isaiah 64:1–3)
“Then his people recalled the days of Moses of old: Where is he who brought them up out of the Sea with the shepherd of his flock? Where is he who put into him his holy Spirit, who made his glorious arm proceed at the right hand of Moses, who divided the waters before them, making an everlasting name for himself when he led them through the deep? Like the horse of the desert, they stumbled not; like cattle descending [the slopes of] ravines, it was the Spirit of Jehovah that guided them. So you led your people, [O Jehovah,] acquiring illustrious renown.” (Isaiah 63:11–14)
“Go forth out of Babylon, flee from Chaldea! Make this announcement with resounding voice; broadcast it to the end of the earth. Say, Jehovah has redeemed his servant Jacob. They thirsted not when he led them through arid places: he caused water to flow for them from the rock; he cleaved the rock and water gushed out.” (Isaiah 48:20–21).
“They shall feed along the way and find pasture on all barren heights; they shall not hunger or thirst, nor be smitten by the heatwave or the sun: he who has mercy on them will guide them; he will lead them by springs of water.” (Isaiah 49:9–10)
“Jehovah is comforting Zion, bringing solace to all her ruins; he is making her wilderness like Eden, her desert as the garden of Jehovah. Joyful rejoicing takes place there, thanksgiving with the voice of song.” (Isaiah 51:3)

This is just an idea, maybe, suggestion, but to those of us who are fairly new to the terminology of Isaiah, might it be easier for us to understand who these different countries represent in our day if they were written in parenthesis’s behind each past biblical country?. I wish to share these newsletters with others and even some of my teenage grandchildren. I believe it would create for them a better understanding of these terminologies in the newsletters for our time. I know we each need to want this information, need to study this. There are those who seek more and want more… and I know God directs us into paths that will help us better understand the mysteries of God. This happens when we hunger thirst after knowledge. I do believe this would help those just starting out in their quest for more…
