Verse Takeaways

Commentators are unanimous that this verse is a stunning prophecy of God's grace extending beyond Israel. Historical enemies, Egypt and Assyria, are given titles of endearment previously reserved for the chosen nation. This demonstrates that God's ultimate plan of salvation was always meant to include all peoples, foreshadowing the New Covenant reality where Gentiles are welcomed into God's family.
