Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God.
Rulers will come out of Egypt and the people of Ethiopia will turn to God, stretching out their hands to him in worship. This shows that the divine purpose of salvation reaches beyond Israel to take in the nations. Those nations are included both in being saved and in worshiping God.
Ethiopia's reaching out to God belongs to a wider movement in the spread of the gospel, in which people throughout the world are seeking to know God. That picture of outstretched hands is fulfilled as the peoples of the world reach for knowledge of God and of his love in Christ. Ethiopia represents the widening call of the gospel coming from every quarter of the world. That call summons those who have received its light to share it with others.
