Remain quiet and will look on from dwelling place

Isaiah 17-18
An Oracle against Damascus : "Damascus will no longer be a city but will become a heap of ruins. The fortified city will disappear from Ephraim, and royal power from Damascus. the remnant of Aram will be like the glory of the Israelites," Declares the Lord Almighty.
In that day men will look to their Maker and turn their eyes to the Holy One of Israel.
Although the peoples roar like the roar of surging waters, when he rebukes them they flee far away, driven before the wind like chaff on the hills, like tumbleweed before a gale.
This is the portion of those who loot us, the lot of those who plunder us.
A prophecy against Cush: Woe to the land of whirring wings along the rivers of Cush.
To a people tall and smooth-skinned, to a people feared far and wide, an aggressive nation of strange speech, whose land is divided by rivers. - Cush
The Lord says to me: I will remain quiet and will look on from my dwelling place, like shimmering heat in the sunshine, like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest"
The gift will be brought to the Lord, Mount Zion.
Why?
This is a prophecy from Isaiah's early days, in response to King Ahaz's appeal for help against the Syria-Israel alliance. The Assyrians launched a series of raids in which Damascus was plundered and this prophecy also attacks Israel for siding with Syria against their own kin - the nation of Judah.
Cush is modern Sudan. In Isaiah's day Egypt was ruled by a Sudanese dynasty. The Assyrian threat brings envoy使節 from afar. But the God will deal with the invader on the very eve of victory. And the far-off nation will send gifts in grateful homage尊敬 to God
No matter how the people roar or how tall and fear they are, when God rebukes them, they flee far away.
It is uneasy to remain quiet when Isaiah knew what God's plan is. So as we know what will be in that day, keep our steady emotion and pace.
How?
To be a servant of God, even we know what it will going on, we have to remain quiet and look from our dwelling place, with clam heart and emotion.
In that day people will worship God Almighty, turn their eyes to the Lord.
