Here's another thought from Gill's commentary:

Some render it, "the helpers of Rahab"; that is, of Egypt (o), Rahab being a name of Egypt, Psa_87:4.

Here's Psalm 87:4
Psa 87:4 I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there

Strongs says this of Rahab:

rahab
rah'-hab
The same as H7293; Rahab (that is, boaster), an epithet of Egypt: - Rahab.

A reoccurring thought:

Rev 22:20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
