Peter: Alright, so this is Isaiah 18. Meg, you wanna start?
Meg: Sure. It's about a message from God sent to Ethiopia. He's like, "Hey guys, I'm gonna bring destruction upon you real soon, so you might wanna prepare".
Lois: Then something about a wailing and a flag being raised as a signal.
Brian: Right. God says a signal will be sent, like when the flag is raised, and then everyone's supposed to start wailing and crying.
Peter: Wow, that's harsh. But then it gets worse: God says he's gonna send his messengers in a whirlwind with a loud noise to devastate the land. Sounds like when I turn up the volume on my TV to watch 'The Bachelor'!
Lois: Peter, that's not funny. So God says that when the flag is raised and the messengers come, the people have to prepare for the worst.
Meg: It's like a warning for what's about to come.
Brian: Exactly. It's like God is saying, "You better be ready for some bad stuff, 'cause it's comin'!"
