This was a verse that talked about God will punish Sudan. But the emergence of scientists and the Christians who uses the bible for personal benefits rubbish everything.
“Technology is like a son with no respect to the father”
And yet here you are, using that evil technology to get your message to others.
What does the bible say about hypocrisy?
How about Matthew 6:1 and Matthew 7:5?
How about a clue to which article you’re talking about? There are many hits on “Isaiah,” including one about the Don Henley song “The Heart of the Matter.”
Isaiah chapter 18 talks about HaShem nipping in the bud a “tall, shiny nation” beyond the land of Cush. Cush was probably part of modern Egypt and Sudan. Modern Sudan, with more or less current borders, and that name, has been around only for about 120 years, and at any rate, looking from Israel, it’s not really “beyond” Cush. That would be Chad, or Ethiopia.
There are several chapters in a row in Isaiah describing how HaShem is going to lay waste to a number of nations surrounding Israel. The unnamed nation beyond Cush is just one more. If you read all of these, it’s clear this is supposed to happen in the very near future. It’s supposed to happen in Pharaonic Egypt, and when Judah still exists as a nation. It’s not reasonable to think that the chapter regarding the land beyond Cush is supposed to happen in modern times to a modern nation, unlike all the other prophecies in the surrounding chapters.
I thought school starting was supposed to cut down on nitwits.
Schools have internet now.
I think this may be more of a General Questions sort of thing, so let’s go there.
But isn’t this more like religious witnessing than a question? Seems to me it would be better off placed in Great Debates.
I truly can’t make heads or tails of what the OP is about. I’m guessing it’s a fourteen year old kid who’s just discovered that they can anonymously post rebellious religious questions they are too afraid to utter to someone’s face. The expression and grammar are just that incoherent.
You mean it’s not a prophesy of the United States of America? We’re WAY beyond Cush & I’m shiny & tall! Those Anglo-Israelites really sold me a bill of goods.
(Full disclosure- I have Anglo-Israel sympathies but yeah, the Isaiah 18 USA indentification is really reaching.)
Well, I think he’s parroting something he heard someplace else, that the “tall, shiny people beyond Cush” are the modern Sudanese, who need to beware the wrath of the deity, because it makes no sense whatsoever in context, if you read all of Isaiah. I think the way he uses “rubbish” as a verb is normal vernacular in the UK. I can’t imagine what on earth that part means, other than he thinks programs to help Sudan, which inevitably make use of science and technology, and are sometimes run by missionaries (ie, Christians), are bucking the will of the deity, and people should just let the Sudanese starve, as prophesied.
The last part in quotes is not a well-known quote of any sort that I can find, nor even a close misquote, so I have no idea why it is set off by “”.
It’s probably a drive-by post, anyway and the OP won’t be back.
So the OP gets brownie-points from his cult leader, having enlightened the benighted masses on the intratubes, and therefore gets an extra ration of sand with his nightly gruel.
Given that the OP 1) lacks a question, and 2) lacks a point, I’m going to close this. If a coherent question can be produced, a new thread may be opened.
