“And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the Lord in the holy mount at Jerusalem.”
And it will come about in that day that a great trumpet will be blown; and those who were perishing in the land of Assyria will come, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt will worship the LORD in the holy mountain at Jerusalem, establishing that salvation culminates in the return of the exiled and scattered, in their journey to Jerusalem, and in their worship of the LORD in the holy sanctuary. The great trumpet signals the call to gathering and the opening of a new era. The perishing in Assyria and outcasts in Egypt represent those scattered by the great powers of the ancient Near East, yet God's call reaches them all. The worship of the LORD on the holy mountain represents the restoration of right relationship and the reestablishment of covenant community. This verse concludes the Isaiah Apocalypse by envisioning the ingathering of all Israel and the restoration of worship in Zion.
