Back to the OP of this thread, an issue of more immediate concern than what will happen during the Millennium.
Do you or do you not agree that the United States of America is the 'nation' referred to in Isaiah 18, as per my post #11 ?
It is a provable fact that the 10 Northern tribes if Israel, taken into exile circa 722-718 BCE, are still 'scattered among the nations', Ezekiel 11:16 and are not as yet rejioned as per Ezekiel 37. From the careful research of many disciplines, it can be ascertained that Britain comprises mostly of Ephraim and the USA, Manasseh. This is a perfect fulfilment of the prophecy in Genesis 48:17-20. Therefore we can expect the judgement of the Day of the Lord's wrath - Jacob's trouble, as in Jeremiah 30:4-7
Keras,
I do believe Isaiah 18 is about America because of the following.
Isaiah 18
1 Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia:
2 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. (((Isaiah 5:24-30 America will be called to come to take a prey safely back to America at the other end of the earth.)))
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
.
(((Isaiah 30:18 Jesus went back to his place to wait till God sends him back. Isaiah 30:19-24 Israel today and next the time of Jacob’s trouble in 25-33))
5 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.

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.
