That was fulfilled at Pentecost when Assyrians and Egyptians worshiped the lord on Mt Zion in Jerusalem:

And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. Acts 2:1
And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. Acts 2:5
Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God. Acts 2:9-11

It's like I said, you don't have a believing heart to believe what scripture actually says. You are like the unbelieving pharisees who of necessity interpret all OT prophecy to be about Israel rather than pointing to Christ and his body. This is from John Gill's commentary on that verse you quoted, which makes my point.
That is an utterly absurd assertion, patently false.

The context is unerringly clear: the people gathered in verse 13 are ISRAELITES......in that very same PROPHETIC DAY.

Isa 27:12 - And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall beat off from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel.

Isa 27:13 - And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the LORD in the holy mount at Jerusalem.

They became the true Israel of God, his holy nation, and therefore true Israelites when they were born from above, unlike disbelieving Israel that rejected Christ and remained in their sins.

You do realize that you are beyond the point of making a fool of yourself.....right?

You replacement theology proponents actually think that the 70th week of Daniel Time of Jacob's trouble great tribulation has already passed!

A totally irrational and bizarre fantasy of your own vain imagination.

Mat 24:29 - Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

Mat 24:30 - And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

Mat 24:31 - And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Mat 13:41 - The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;

Mar 13:27 - And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.

Isa 27:12 - And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall beat off from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel.

Isa 27:13 - And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the LORD in the holy mount at Jerusalem.

He makes a very interesting point that the land invasion will not be this island in the Hormuz Straight but rather where the nuclear research, development, and storage is.

This actually makes much more sense.

1. Why are all the allies involved in this now, backing the US and Israel? It is because of the possibility of the Hormuz Straight being shut down. As soon as that is resolved they will no longer be helping the US. That is their motivation for helping, why would the US and Israel want to remove that?

2. What is the US and Israel's motivation? It isn't the oil, we have our own supply completely independent of that. Our motivation is the potential nuclear bombs.

3. Why are they attacking power plants if the goal is to take Kharg island? Eliminating power puts a nation or a city into chaos. Why would you want Tehran and other cities in chaos? It forces IRGC to fill the streets to maintain order and thus unable to defend some other spot.

4. Why then all this bluster about Kharg island? If they can get IRGC to move forces to defend it then they won't be somewhere else defending the nuclear R&D.

5. Why wouldn't they take Kharg island? Because if the US controls Kharg Island it incentivizes the IRGC to attack the oil infrastructure on that island and there is no way the US can keep those targets from being hit. For all we know they are booby trapped already. Also, the soldiers on the ground in Kharg island will become a target for missiles from the mainland. So then even if taking it would be easy, holding it would be extremely costly.

Turkey is a bad actor. Nowhere near as bad as Iran, but they have been persecuting Kurds for decades. Turkey still refuses to confess to the Armenian genocide.

Friend, all nations are bad actors in God's eyes. Do your soul a favor and repent of your worldly views.

Adulterers and adulteresses, don't you know that the friendship of the world is enmity of GOD? Whoever, then, purposes to be a friend of the world is being established an enemy of GOD. James 4:4
