It is not clear what the ensign is neither is the sounding of the trumpet clearly identified. When has the whole world ever seen and heard something? It has not done so yet. Isaiah 18:3 says, " 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. No event in history fulfills this prophecy.

Examine whether an event fits the prophecy. Do not try to force a prophecy to fit an event. The scholars who say Isaiah 18 was fulfilled in the past have rushed to judgment. It is easy to believe a prophecy that has already been fulfilled in the past but it takes faith to believe in one about the future. For hundreds of years people have quickly read the passage and moved on to the next chapter without caring enough to figure it out. Read each section thoroughly before moving to the next. You need to know and understand what is to come. What they will really get is the opposite. Isaiah chapter 18 discusses more than one nation. God gives us clues as to what is yet to happen. This is the reason America does not play a noticeable role in prophecy during the last seven years before Jesus returns. Isaiah 18 warns of the destruction of America by attackers from a land in the region of Iran, Pakistan or beyond such as southern Asia. Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets (Amos 3:7). Lay it to Heart - Isaiah 18 and the Future of America Lay it to Heart
