Isaiah 19: An unbelieving fortified nation suffers till 5 cities swear by Yehoweh and they shriek for help to Yehoweh. He sends Messiah to Egypt and they become a blessing with Syria and Israel!

1: Egypt’s (Mitsarim pl of matsor – defended safe places/ fortresses) burden: Behold thicket-of-cloud-riding, swift Yehoweh. And traversing Egypt and tottering Egypt’s idols in front of His Face. And Egypt’s heart melts in the midst of it.

2:  I had fenced-in Egypt in Egypt. And.  A man was fought by his brother (Muslim brotherhood now banned in Egypt), a man by his friend, a city by a city, kingdom by a kingdom.

3: And Egypt’s spirit was emptied out (bokak – onomatopoeia of the sound of a bottle emptying) in the midst of it. I gobble up their counsel, the ways/practices of their idols, the mystics and mediums and the know-ers.

4: And I will shut up the/time of Egypt in the hand of an unyielding lord and a strong king. Word (Naeum) Lord Yehoweh of Parliaments  rules in them.

5: The waters of the sea and river were drunk up  (Nifal of שׁתה  – not יבשׁ  yabesh 3001 interlinear – desalination plants destroyed?).  It parches with drought and was shameful (יבש  yabesh 3001 interlinear not נשׁת  nashat 5405 interlinear).

6:  And Rivers which had been caused to be heard (אזן Hifil of hear 238 interlinear not זנח   2186 interlinear reject) were dried up and parched-by-drought.  

Egypt’s Yayor’s  (Nile) reeds and rushes had decayed.

7:  Reeds on the Yayor and on the mouth of the Yayor. And everything sown by Yayor was ashamed, driven away and was no more.  

8: The fisherman had wailed and mourned. All who cast hooks into Yayor and spreaders of nets on the waters were weakened / failed.

9:  The combed linen indentured labourers and white linen weavers were ashamed. (Egyptian cotton industry?)

10: And it happened that it’s foundations were crushed, all wage makers – stagnant souls.

11: Surely princes of Zoan (NE Egyptian capital of 21st and 22nd dynasties – Tanis or modern day San Al Hagar, Word play of Zion?) are obstinate. Pharoah’s wise counsellors are counsel consumers. How will you say of Pharoah, son of the wise, “  I am a son of an eastern/ancient/ former King”.

12: Who are, where are your wise men? Please (Na) cause them to know and profess and make know to you what Yehoweh of Parliaments had counselled against Egypt.

13: Zoan’s princes had been fooled.  Noph’s (S. Egypt early dynasty/ old kingdom capital Memphis) princes were deceived. The mainstay of the/time of Egypt’s tribes had been caused to go astray.

14: Yehoweh  mixed perverse spirits in her midst and caused the/time of Egypt to go astray in all her work – like a drunkard is caused to go astray in his vomit.

15: And it happens that there is no work for Egypt which they (can) do – head nor tail, palm leaf nor reed.  

Pause and think about that!

16: It happens that in a day Egypt will be like the married. And they were shocked  and awed. A wave of Yehoweh of Parliaments’ hand in a face over which He is a brandisher.

17: And it happened that the earth (Adamah) from Judah to Egypt is a reeling for all who cause to remember it. He is afraid in himself in the face of Yehoweh of Parliaments’ counsel which He counselled against it.

Pause and think about that!

18: In that day, it happens that five cities in the land of Egypt speaking Canaan’s language and swearing by Yehoweh of Parliaments. To one named Overthrown (heres vs word play keres sun ie Heliopolis, sun-God city) City.  

Pause and think about that.

19:  In that day, it happens that an altar is in the midst of the land of Egypt and a memorial pillar to Yehoweh approximating her border.

Zoan, Noph and Heliopolis

20: And it happened that it was for evidence (a sign) and a witness to Yehoweh of Parliaments in the land of Egypt. For they shriek to Yehoweh in the face of their oppressors and He sends Messiah to them and He caused them to be  snatched away greatly.

21: And Yehoweh was known in Egypt. And Egypt knew the/time of Yehoweh in that day. And they served a sacrifice and an offering. And they vowed a vow to Yehoweh and completed (shalomed) it.

22: And Yehoweh smote the/time of Egypt – smote and healed – and they turned back to Yehoweh. And He was entreated by them and He healed them.

23:  In that day, it happens that there is a highway from Egypt to Ashur (Syria). And Ashur traversed to Egypt and Egypt to Ashur. And Egypt served the/time of Ashur.

Pause and think about that.

24:  In that day, it happens that there are three – Israel to Egypt and Ashur – a blessing in the midst of the land

25:  which they blessed.

Yehoweh of Parliaments is saying,

“ Bless My people, Egypt,  

And the work of My Hands, Syria

And My inheritance, Israel.

Pause and think about that!

Prayer:  

May Egypt be Your people, Syria the work of Your hand and Israel be Your inheritance in our time! May we see a day when unbelieving nations call to you, fulfill vows and turn to You and may Yshua Messiah heal them. Amen.
