Isaiah 19

The God Pill

Well-known member
Robert your take on Isaiah 19 being future America is one of the points of your work I most frequently bring up informal witnessing the past five years however apparently some interpret it as relating to the Jewish temple built in elephantine egypt I want to be clear I'm not questioning you i think your modern near future fulfillment or a dual fulfillment is more sound than limiting to ancient times but I was going to ask your take on the ancient temple there in relation to prophecy.

Apparently, there was a Jewish colony there and a small temple, but it is dated from the 5th century BCE during the rule of the Persians and it disappeared after the Persians were run out of Egypt. The 19th chapter of Isaiah has to do with the Assyrian conquest of Egypt. That would have taken place several centuries before the colony on Elephantine Island was established. In any case, there is no evidence that Jehovah sent the Jews in Egypt a "grand savior." Just the opposite. During the Babylonian invasion through Jeremiah God specifically ordered the Jews who survived and were left behind NOT to go down to Egypt for protection. Of course, the Jews refused to obey and went down to Egypt and God ordered Nebuchadnezzar's army to go down to Egypt to exterminate them. Hardly a grand salvation.

Furthermore, in Ezekiel the overthrow of Egypt is said to be "an appointed time of nations," and the day of Jehovah. Whatever judgments occurred in Bible times that are called "the day of Jehovah" are merely types. There is really only one day of Jehovah and it has to do with the second coming of Christ. He is the grand savior referred to in the 19th chapter of Isaiah.

Isaiah 19:3, 4 Seems to be what is happening in the anti typical Egypt at the minute, The hard master ( KOTN,) or the final manifestation thereof. prehaps.
