An Unlikely Quartet Part 1 is a sermon concerning the prophecies of four countries: Ethiopia, Egypt, Assyria, and Judah. It is unlikely that these four countries could ever be grouped together — except for God.
God had a plan for these four countries or people groups. God deals with countries, people groups, and individuals. What we learn in Isaiah 18 can be applied to our own lives. Great nations fell because they were corrupted from within. We need to be in a right relationship with God by having our hearts and minds surrendered to God, or we risk falling from within. Are you in a right relationship with God?
An Unlikely Quartet Part 1 sermon starts with verses from Isaiah 18:1-7:
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.
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.
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.
7 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.
