A Prophecy of Inclusion
Commentators widely see this verse as a powerful prophecy from God. He declares that people from historically hostile or foreign nations—like Egypt (Rahab), Babylon, and Tyre—will one day be counted 'among them that know me.' This foretells the expansion of God's people beyond ethnic Israel to include believers from all nations in the New Covenant church.
