what I remember:
the land of Cush is described as a river dividing it, people that are tall and smooth-skinned and feared by many, who speak a foreign language and who have vehicles with whirring wings.b God looks on these happenings quietly. He prunes the grapes after they have budded, ruining the harvest, and birds and wild animals will eat on the harvest. After this, the tall smooth-skinned people who everyone fears will pay homage to God, and bring sacrifices to Him on Zion.
about God: He's observing this all going on, without intervening. Talk about "masterful inactivity". I feel like that's what He's sort of doing in modern events right now too. Letting time take it's toll, knowing that it will eventually result in people turning back to Him.
at first, I didn't realize that the foreigner described in this chapter was in reference to Cush. It seemed to me like it could almost be America.
