3–6 Here is the Lord’s message, not only to Cush but to all the people of the world (verse 3)—that is, to the nations of the Middle East: a banner will be raised and a trumpet will sound, and the nations will be called together to fight Assyria. The Lord will not act immediately (verse 4), but when the time is “ripe” He will cut down the Assyrians (verse 5); and they who once preyed on others will become prey themselves (verse 6).
7 As for the people of Cush, they will one day bring gifts to the Lord at Mount Zion (the temple in Jerusalem), the place where the Lord has put His Name (see Deuteronomy 12:5). They will have seen that the God of Israel is more powerful than all the nations of the world, and they will come to pay Him homage.
