Command the Raven

Isaish 16:5, 13-14
Then in mercy and loving kindness shall a throne be established, and One shall sit upon it in truth and faithfulness in the tent of David, judging and seeking justice and being swift to do righteousness.
This is the word that the Lord has spoken concerning Moab since that time [when Moab’s pride and resistance to God were first known].
But now the Lord has spoken, saying, Within three years, as the years of a hireling [who will not serve longer than the allotted time], the glory of Moab shall be brought into contempt, in spite of all his mighty multitude of people; and the remnant that survives will be very small, feeble and no account. [Amplified Bible].

Isaiah apparently puts these words in the mouths of the Moabite ambassadors to the king of Judah, but in “language so divinely framed as to apply to ‘the latter days under King Messiah, when the Lord shall bring again [reverse] the captivity of Moab.’” [Jamieson, Fausset and Brown Commentary.]

This prophecy was fulfilled after the death of King Ahaz of Judah [Chapter 14 – 28] and the third year of King Hezekiah, three years before the conquest of Israel by Assyria.

Moab was not left completely without population at this time; there was still a “remnant.”

The final desolation of Moab was reserved for King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, five years after the taking of Jerusalem.

The ruins of Elealeh, Heshbon, Medeba, Dimon, etc., still exist definitely to confirm through modern research the accuracy of the fulfillment of the prophecy.
