Isaiah 19:1 - 19:25
We
covered with the last Chapter of Isaiah 18 a deeper Message behind that phrase
in Isa.18:1, 'beyond the rivers of Ethiopia'.
That it refers to those nations who would be formed from the
'house of Israel', who were scattered west, making up the
Western Christian Nations of today, should not be a surprise if you've also
understood who Ephraim and Manasseh now are. (If not, then see the Lost
Tribes studies). It sure would be inconsistent
with how our Father gave us Truth within His Word if He left out mention of the
greatest superpowers of modern history, i.e. Great Britain and The United
States of America. That Hebrew root of 'shavah'
written as 'the present'
in Isaiah 18:7 are God's equalizers.
If you've studied with me for long, you should also realize those 'equalizers'
are the remnant of the 'house of Israel' and of the 'house of Judah',
and of the Gentile, all who accept Christ Jesus as Saviour,
waiting on Him, instead of being 'snared'
and 'taken'
by the false messiah.
Isa.8; 28:13; 42:
Mark
13:
Read All.
Luke 2:
They will
return to Zion together, over that
Highway, from all nations, through that 'great valley' running
east and west as written in;
Zechariah 14:
Read All.
To be with The LORD; So in more
ways than one, God is letting us know that His 'present'
are those of His children which call on His Name, coming into remembrance
as to who they are today, and not only having just 'believed' in His
Promise of Salvation which is required, but also having 'understood' It
with their hearts and minds by The Word of God.
But before that glorious event of our Saviour's return to the
Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the bringing of 'the present',
we must first go through a 'little test' by the
false messiah.
This historical
Assyrian here in Isaiah will be the 'type' and role for Lucifer's operations in
our near future. This 19th Chapter continues with
these 'burdens', and it is upon the false princes of Egypt this time. And it's
important to realize that our Father doesn't cause a 'burden' upon anyone, no,
we cause it ourselves, by not listening to and following Him in His Word.
We now continue this study in Isaiah, as we ask a Word
of Wisdom from our Father in The Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Isa 19:1 The burden of Egypt. "Behold, the LORD
rideth upon a swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt
shall be moved at His presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst
of it.
This description of our LORD's return refers to His coming, in
final, though historically here, He brought strife among Egypt at the time.
The metaphors within this verse point to our Father "Who
maketh the clouds His chariot..."
Psalms 104:3: Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: Who maketh
the clouds his chariot: Who walketh upon the wings of the wind:
Ps.18:10: And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: Tea, he did fly upon the
wings of the wind.
For final
prophecy, this event is speaking of our Lord and Saviour coming "...with
clouds, and every eye shall see Him"; even those which pierced Him.
