Isaiah 15
In this chapter of Isaiah, Isaiah prophesies of the fall of Moab. Refugees from Moab will flee, and there will be much sorrowing. It's sad to note that when the Moabites flee the Lord will send lions to attack them. But who does Moab represent?

Gileadi believes that Moab represents a kindred people to the Israelites. I imagine Moab means Canada, because I imagine that the Assyrians will come from the north and Canada probably won't fare well in such a scenario. I also think of Canada because they are a kindred people to Americans. In chapter 16, Isaiah refers to the Moabites' excessive pride, which is not a typical Canadian trait. However, the propaganda described in chapter 16 definitely fits the Canadian Trudeau administration, as does pride.

Moab could also stand for Jordan, the modern country that's in the location where Moab once was. I find this unlikely because they will likely be part of the worldwide coalition which will attack Israel. However, I'm still uncertain who will play the role of Moab.
