# 24 2025 Dev. Isa.19:1. “God’s Plan!” Read all of chapter nineteen first. We invite you into God’s space, to read His Word, to think on and interact with. This is God’s Story. Do you believe that this may also be part of our story, in our time? All passages are taken from the NIV.
Isa.19:16 “In that day the Egyptians will become weaklings. They will shudder with fear at the uplifted hand that the Lord Almighty raises against them.”
Isaiah 19 Is about God’s plan turning the Egyptians against each other. But God will also turn Assyria and the Egyptians, toward Israel. “In that day Israel will be the third, along with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing on the earth.”
Vs1-17 “A prophecy against Egypt:” Family, friends, areas of the country will be at odds with each other. “The waters of the river will dry up,” Will the rivers be dry or is the conflict so severe that there is no desire to farm, no more trade, no workers or fishers to keep things going as it was? The counselors and the Pharaoh “give senseless advice…The officials of Zoan have become fools, the leaders of Memphisare deceived; the cornerstones of her people have led Egypt astray…because of what the Lord Almighty is planning against them.”
Vs.18-25 “In that day five cities in Egypt will speak the language of Canaan and swear allegiance to the Lord Almighty. One of them will be called the City of the Sun.” It almost reads as the Day of the Lord, The New Heaven and the New Earth. “The Lord Almighty will bless them, saying, “Blessed be Egypt my people, Assyria my handiwork, and Israel my inheritance.” The people of the known world, at that time, are included and this includes all of His followers today, thanks be to God.
