Isaiah 16-18. The merciful though trouble-inclusive call to repentance to all nations.

Circling back into Isaiah 16 and then proceeding to chapters 17 and 18, we are beginning to see more clearly a prophetic undercurrent of God's great mercy (even in His troubling of the nations) to save many out of the nations.

This understanding will bless us in appreciating how He deals with all people, beginning with His covenant people, but not ending there. He is not wanting any to perish, but for all to come to repentance. And He will have His people, out of all the nations.
