4) Two wings
The land shadowing has more than one wing. In Hebrew the word is the plural kanaphim כנפים
Also the word for 'rivers' in Hebrew is nahari נהרי. It only occurs one other time in Job 20:17 where is it translated as the plural “floods.”
He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey and butter. (Job 20:17)
The word translated 'shadowing' is more like the sound a bird's wings make. Also there is a preposition before 'the rivers'
Woe to the land whirring/flapping wings which is beyond to the flooding- rivers of Cush
The
'birdlike' land (singular) with two flapping wings so described must
exist beyond the great flooding rivers that defined the Middle East
and be facing towards them. Even the ancients must have known
that the sea connects the red sea to the Persian Gulf.
We might draw this land with its two flapping wings facing towards the two great rivers in the following way. In this way we might see that the land spoke of by Isaiah that sends forth ambassadors is not Assyria, and it is not Egypt. It overshadows but is located beyond them.
It looks like it might be the modern Tarshish, which is Britain and India. Certainly Britain was a major protective power in these areas and even had Indian troops with them. But as Isaiah knew of Tarshish and wrote of it in seven places and the people from that time might have understood Tarshish, why was the land not called 'Tarshish'? Every other nation and land to which woe is pronounced is named. So it is not directly Tarshish. It is another land that was not possible to describe in any other way that would make sense in every generation.
In principle it is easy to understand. The woe is pronounced on a land beyond those two rivers with two wings flapping over both nations of Cush, Nineveh and Ancient Ethiopia. These two are connected by the sea. The land beyond these overshadowing them would be be known at the time of the fulfilment of the prophecy.

We were asked what early documents establish that Rosh of Ezekiel 38 is Russia. The answer is in 2 parts, as we explain the trajectory from fulfilled prophecy in history to prophecy yet to be fulfilled.
The Revelation 12 Sign
There is much written about the sun, moon and planets aligning on in September 2017. We have many reasons for suspecting that 2017 will be a prophetically significant year, and the time of the Jewish feast of Sukkot could be more significant than any other time, but we need to understand the scripture before we consider the stars.
There is a great sense that the British are about to sail on the winds of change, and cast off the European shackles which have reduced trade and it's competitive edge. There is a reason why it's 'now', as it is spoken of in the Bible.
As the world becomes focussed on Israel and Jerusalem, with even nations leaders who remote from Israel having an opinion, we might consider that it is said that those who touch Jerusalem, touch God's eye.
