In that day Israel will be the third with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth, whom the LORD of hosts has blessed, saying, “Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel my inheritance.”
Isaiah 19 is about the reunion of the sons of Abraham from Sarah, Hagar and Keturah. We took the time to explore the whole chapter. Tom explained the judgments that will take place in Egypt on the gods of Egypt. God will shake Egypt in order to make Himself known as the only Most High God. God will release his Spirit over Egypt and there will be an altar and a pillar inside Egypt for God’s glory.
We had a wonderful lunch and fellowship. There was a powerful time of worship taking us deeper into the presence of the Lord. We started at 9:30 and finished at 4:45 with a time of prayer and declaring the five decrees that start with “On that day…” in Isaiah 19. Some of the young people took turns to join in these prayers and declarations. There was a lot of openness in the hearts of the young people and they were hungry to learn more about this important and timely subject.
