The Biblical Warning Of Isiah To Nigeria - the land divided by rivers by BlowBack: 2:57pm On Sep 13, 2017
Isaiah 18:1–7

Woe to the land of whirring wings[a]
along the rivers of Cush,[b]
2 which sends envoys by sea
in papyrus boats over the water.
Go, swift messengers,
to a people tall and smooth-skinned,
to a people feared far and wide,
an aggressive nation of strange speech,
whose land is divided by rivers.
3 All you people of the world,
you who live on the earth,
when a banner is raised on the mountains,
you will see it,
and when a trumpet sounds,
you will hear it.
4 This is what the Lord says to me:
“I will remain quiet and will look on from my dwelling place,
like shimmering heat in the sunshine,
like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.”
5 For, before the harvest, when the blossom is gone
and the flower becomes a ripening grape,
he will cut off the shoots with pruning knives,
and cut down and take away the spreading branches.
6 They will all be left to the mountain birds of prey
and to the wild animals;
the birds will feed on them all summer,
the wild animals all winter.
7 At that time gifts will be brought to the Lord Almighty

from a people tall and smooth-skinned,
from a people feared far and wide,
an aggressive nation of strange speech,
whose land is divided by rivers—
the gifts will be brought to Mount Zion, the place of the Name of the Lord Almighty.

Woe to the land of whirring wings....

The description of “the land of whirring wings” is an interesting word picture. Apparently the Hebrew word translated as “whirring” could also mean buzzing. So it is not clear if this description is trying to conjure an insect buzzing or a bird flapping its wings. Either way, it brings to mind a creature frantically beating its wings, or some other appendage, to survive or stay aloft.

Along the rivers of Cush

Original Hebrew text may translate to "beyond the rivers of Cush"

Cush being Ethiopia and so we may infer lands south of Ethiopia

Nigeria is the only Nation on earth which is geopolitically, religiously and culturally divided by two rivers, the River Benue and Niger

“I will quietly look ufrom my dwelling like clear heat in sunshine,
like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.”

For before the harvest, when the blossom is over, and the flower becomes a ripening grape,

he cuts off the shoots with pruning hooks,

and the spreading branches he lops off and clears away

This is prophetic message warning of the balkanization of Nigeria come the Feast of Trumpets (Sept 23) otherwise known as the Jewsish harvest.

The restoration of the lost Tribe of Judah back to the fold of Zion.

The land of the tall and smooth will pay tribute to Zion.

Biafra will become independent and a major ally to Israel

Strange speech refers to the lost ancient Tongue of the Hebos, who are from the land divided by two rivers - Nigeria.

God is with you.

He will not abandon you in this darkest hour.

At the ordained time of harvest, he will grant your wish

God will separate you from your oppressors and corruptors

He will harvest you as a farmer gleans a corn from the cob

Who is the messenger who came from across the seas to a land of people tall and smooth-skinned, feared (respected) far and wide?

A people aggressive and of an ancient tongue, whose land is divided by two rivers?

Your guess is good as mine

God divides Earth by Rivers, Seas and Oceans.
Nigeria is THREE COUNTRIES vis:-
Above Rivers Niger and Benue-North for Hausas, Tuaregs, Kanuris etc.
Below River Niger-SW-Yorubaland.
Below River Benue-SE-igboland.
The Lord forbids Fulanis in the South without a peaceful arrangement with the Indegenes.

The rivers that divide Nigeria are both physical and cultural barriers.

The Sokoto Caliphate had its borders along these two rivers

Yes. There are envoys who have crossed the seas to petition with paper papyrus the case of the Hebos.

IPOB is using legalfare and not warfare to get their independence and they are doing it on the international stage
