Isaiah 19

Tribulation in Egypt and Reconciliation to Jesus

Isaiah 19 is a prophecy about Egypt being destroyed and then restored to Jesus. The Nile River dried up, which was what they used to water their crops and feed their families with the fish. Then it was restored, thus the beginning of the Reign of Christ. He explains what the millennial kingdom was like, where Jesus ruled and reigned with his saints. Egypt, Syria, and Israel were friendly with one another.

And the LORD shall smite Egypt: he shall smite and heal it: and they shall return even to the LORD, and he shall be intreated of them, and shall heal them. Isaiah 19:22

Here is where I send you down a trail to dig into and snoop around in the things that have led me to wonder whether this prophecy may already have been fulfilled, and whether we may be living after Jesus' reign. Here is what makes me question the narrative we've been given: ancient buildings that weren't destroyed by war, which we couldn't possibly build today. Take a look at all the Capitol buildings across the United States and tell me whether you think they could be builttoday. They don't lie to us in that respect, but they do try to hide the truth by saying these buildings were "founded" sometime in the late 1700's and 1800's. The truth is hidden in plain sight. Consider this: do you know anything about your great-great-grandparents and their lives? Not likely. That's how the enemy can make us forget our past so quickly. Are we living a lie? Has history been distorted to keep us enslaved? What is the point? My guess is to cover up Jesus' reign and create a narrative that it hasn't happened yet to command our obedience to Satan. If we are living in the short season of Satan, the season of deception, he might lie to us and make us think we are free when clearly we still have to pay taxes, which keeps us enslaved. It's almost too much and creates more questions. If we are living after the millennial reign, then what's next is judgment, and I'm looking forward to Satan being thrust into the lake of fire and unable to lie to us anymore. 

Does any of this matter? No. All that matters is that you trust in Jesus, love the LORD your God with all your heart, and love others as He has loved you. 

Note: I can't make this stuff up on my own. However, I've dug deep to find evidence that leads me to believe much of what I'm sharing, such as ancient texts confirmed by Biblical prophecy and, of course, those ridiculously complicated buildings that can't be explained.

Isaiah 18 

An Oracle Concerning Cush 

Where is Cush? No one seems to be clear about the exact location; however, we know it’s likely in Africa, possibly along the Nile River. Some scholars believe it is Ethiopia, and since Isaiah mentions Ethiopia in the first verse, they may be right, since the Blue Nile runs through parts of it. Isaiah calls the people of that country obstinate from the beginning, which we know from other books in the Bible that Cush was Noah’s grandson from Ham, who was the father of Nimrod, who built the Tower of Babel. If Cush was the one who took over that part of the world, it makes sense. Since we believe Isaiah may have been talking about Ethiopia, the last verse of this prophecy makes sense. During the spread of Christianity, Phillip sat with the Ethiopian eunuch in his chariot, explaining Isaiah’s prophecy about Jesus and then baptizing him. I understand the Ethiopian’s trouble understanding Isaiah, because this chapter is especially daunting, and I need other scholars to explain the interpretation. 

In that time shall the present be brought unto the LORD of hosts of a people scattered and peeled, and from a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden under foot, whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of the LORD of hosts, the mount Zion. Isaiah 18:7

And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him. Acts 8:30-31

We know that the Holy Spirit makes much of the Bible abundantly clear; however, some, especially portions not meant for us, need interpretation from others more knowledgeable than we are. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t understand all the Bible; God will open your eyes when it is necessary.

Isaiah 17

A Prophecy of Isaiah Waiting for Fulfillment

We have another prophecy from Isaiah that has yet to be fulfilled. He describes the city of Damascus as ruined and in desolation. Today, Damascus is a thriving city in Syria. This particular prediction involves Syria and ten of the tribes of Israel in an alliance that ends in both coming to ruin. Will we see this happen? It is possible if we are at the end of the end times, which many believe we are. 

The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith the LORD of hosts. Isaiah 17:3

A remnant from the ten tribes will escape. Some commentators believe the ten tribes could be the people of the U.S., but that remains a theory. Who knows? What I do know is that many of the theories that fuel conspiracies have proven true. We will have to wait and see for this one. 

A point that is of use for us today is that when you forget God, it’s the beginning of sin, and forgetting God will destroy you. 

Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and hast not been mindful of the rock of thy strength, therefore shalt thou plant pleasant plants, and shalt set it with strange slips: Isaiah 17:10

Those who think they can get away with harming the people of God can expect to get exactly what they deserve and come to ruin.

And behold at eveningtide trouble; and before the morning he is not. This is the portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob us. Isaiah 17:14

Isaiah 16

Stay Close to Jesus

Have you ever noticed that people who don't have a relationship with Jesus live in constant fear? Meanwhile, we live peacefully under the care and guardianship of heaven's angelic warriors, who keep us from being overtaken by the evil beings among us. Those without the cover of Jesus have more to fear than they can even imagine; their fear is justified. I can picture snarling demons seething to get their hands on us, but they are kept at a distance by the forces of Jesus. When people traverse this world without the cover of Jesus, they leave themselves without protection and subject themselves to evil. These evil beings will appear as beauty and light, yet they have sinister intentions. We have no idea what the war is like in a dimension we are not privy to, though we can sometimes feel it. It presents like awkwardness, hair standing on end, chills, unease, and maybe a sense of fright. That battle is not ours; we are privileged to be covered by the power of Jesus. 

“Those that will not submit to Christ, nor be gathered under the shadow of his wings, shall be as a bird that wanders from her nest, that shall either be snatched up by the next bird of prey or shall wander endlessly in continual frights. Those that will not yield to the fear of God shall be made to yield to the fear of every thing else.” Matthew Henry

For it shall be, that, as a wandering bird cast out of the nest, so the daughters of Moab shall be at the fords of Arnon. Isaiah 16:2

Isaiah 15

Pray to the Only True God

Isaiah not only warned Israel but also sent warnings to other countries; this time, his oracle went out to Moab concerning their destruction, which, according to chapter 16, happened three years later. When I first read this chapter, I didn't see a lesson, but there is one that I nearly missed, and if I didn't have my Matthew Henry Commentary as an assistant, I would have completely overlooked it, and it's this: "Prayer to the true God is heart's ease, but prayers to false gods are not." 

In their streets they shall gird themselves with sackcloth: on the tops of their houses, and in their streets, every one shall howl, weeping abundantly. Isaiah 15:3

They cried out to their false gods, yet felt no relief. Imagine thinking that your god could help and not feeling a calming presence as you pour out your heart. Did these people know any better? They must not have, otherwise, why would Isaiah's heart be filled with grief for them, sending them word of their coming destruction? It is a huge lesson for us to be grateful for our relationship with God, the one and only creator of heaven and earth, the only one who comforts us in our grief as we cry out to Him in prayer. It's also a reminder that not everyone is raised in a Christian household and taught to love the Lord, so we must be patient with people and do our best to show them the goodness of God through Christ Jesus.

Isaiah 14 

The Restoration of Jacob 

Isaiah 14 tells of God restoring Israel after their enemies oppressed them.

One thing we can rest assured in is that God will recompense His people for evil committed against them. We are the people of God, and any wickedness that befalls us will face God and His vengeance against them. So remember, it is not cowardly to wait and watch for God to handle your situation Himself. When we have been wronged, know that God saw it, and the culprits will not get away with their misdeeds against those who love and respect Him. Consider yourself privileged and remember, when they tell you that no one is coming to save you, they are mistaken, because our Father will not allow others to terrorize His faithful followers or be trampled upon without His punishment.

And it shall come to pass in the day that the LORD shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve, The LORD hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers. He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hindereth. Isaiah 14:3-6

Isaiah 13 

A Warning About The Judgment of Babylon 

There is some debate about whether this prophecy of Isaiah, about Babylon being destroyed, was during the destruction of Babylon in 539 BC or whether it is its destruction at the end of the end, The Day of the Lord. However, after reading Matthew Henry’s commentary, I tend to think we are still waiting for it to happen, since he uses the future tense in his writing, as if it hasn’t happened yet. What is notable is that when Babylon was destroyed, it was not complete annihilation during the 539 BC destruction, as God instructed. Isaiah’s prophecy calls for every sinner to be destroyed, and we should be careful not to align with them because we will also be destroyed.

Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it. Isaiah 13:9

Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword. Isaiah 13:15

Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not regard silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in it. Isaiah 13:17

Guess who the Medes are? Iran. The rest of the Biblical text is too gruesome for social media, and I’m sure it wouldn’t be allowed; it’s that bad! If this is a future event, what is to come is awful. When the word of God tells us to “come out from among them,” He isn’t kidding. You must not be aligned with sinful people. We must get this right, or we will suffer as sinners. Seek Jesus now, while he can be found. 

Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, 2 Corinthians 6:17

Isaiah 12 

The Lord Is My Strength and My Song

One thing is clear about the people used by God in scripture: they praised and worshipped Him with songs. Isaiah, who received vast amounts of information from God through the Holy Spirit, felt compelled to share with us his worship of Him in Isaiah 12, giving us a glimpse of how he opened himself to receive downloads from Him. We can be used by God just as Isaiah was. The writers of the Bible were no more precious than you or I, but God used them as instruments to convey His truths and offer a look into who He is. There are a few key components to hearing God’s voice, but the main one is to submit your entire life to Him. We must also reverently display our passion and love for Him, search the scriptures to get to know Him, and sing praises to Him. For example, if your prayers aren’t being answered, you might worship Him with a song. In the Old Testament, before battles, God would send the praise team out first, and the enemy would buckle. Whatever you sing, make sure you sing it with the Creator in mind. Remember, Satan was the song leader in heaven, and he now lives here on earth with us and is the song leader here. Some of the songs he writes now are what we sing every day, so be mindful of who you are singing to because Satan would love nothing more than for you to worship him and call him god. 

Sing unto the LORD; for he hath done excellent things: this is known in all the earth. Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee. Isaiah 12:5-6

Isaiah 11

Jesus, The Righteous Branch

It doesn't matter where we are in the biblical timeline; the only thing that matters is Jesus. Even in the Old Testament, before Jesus' appearance, his coming into the world was predicted and expected. What does matter is that we know him and have a relationship with him. We must be careful not to allow our worldly involvement to hinder us from seeking him. We have to make our way in this world, but with the help of the Holy Spirit, we can keep our attention on Jesus to make it through. Swords are drawn daily, and we must fight the enemy because he comes after us with a vengeance, but because of our faith in Jesus, the enemy can easily be conquered by simply saying, "Get behind me, Satan!" 

Sometimes I post things and make you think being a Christian is easy; it's not, and can be daunting and stressful if you let it. When your life becomes trying, and your hope seems to be failing, remember to reach out to Jesus, say a prayer under your breath, especially when being challenged, and watch him de-escalate your challenger quickly. This practice does a world of good for your emotions. Try doing it the next time the enemy is in your face and watch as Jesus subdues them. 

But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. Isaiah 11:4

Isaiah 10

God Corrects His Own and Then Sets the Enemy Straight

God will use other nations to set His people on the right path. In Isaiah, God used Assyria to bring His people back into compliance, but then punished them for invading them; that’s one of the ways God works. It seems harsh, but when His people turn away from doing the right thing and treating His people fairly and respectfully, He will find ways to set them straight. Many times, God will use invading countries as tools to punish those who have turned their backs on Him and are going in their own direction without a care. We see this happen time and time again. It’s as though the enemy has hardened the people’s hearts so much that they can’t see the pattern. People mistreat Christians and think they can get away with it, but God doesn’t permit it. I’m starting to see that Christians mistreating other Christians is not a thing. What we are seeing is disguises; Christians in name only, not the truly committed. Remember Judas? He looked like a disciple, but there were signs the disciples missed, and Jesus saw right through it. He wasn’t counted among Jesus’s, because Jesus himself told us that he never lost one. 

Satan has infiltrated the Church, and it’s not until God chooses to reveal them that we will see the truth of who these invaders are. Our churches are like tiny countries within a country, so when God removes these invaders from your church, you will feel initially disheartened, but then a sense of relief, and getting back to being “The Church” becomes much easier. Here is another point: you will know once these people leave that they were a tool of Satan because they cannot let it go and move on with their lives; they have to keep involving themselves instead of letting go; they cannot stand to see that the church is better off without them. For those in churches that have experienced people leaving their church, be grateful that God intervened on your behalf and removed the people that were causing problems that you probably didn’t even know about, and those not truly adhering to God’s commands. Hopefully, God will one day allow them to see the truth of their involvement in the evil they committed, change their hearts, and return to the Church as true followers of Christ. 

And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing. Isaiah 10:27

Isaiah 9

Stay Humble

Isaiah predicts the coming of the Messiah, which gives them hope for better days to come. However, instead of humbling themselves, they became arrogant, saying that if they were cut down by war, they would build it back better than before. It almost reminds me of a campaign slogan, “Build Back Better,” which we’ve heard in recent years. 

The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars. Isaiah 9:10

Because of their haughtiness, spitting in the eye of God, He showed them who is boss by sending other nations, the Syrians and Philistines, to cut them down.

For the people turneth not unto him that smiteth them, neither do they seek the LORD of hosts. Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day. Isaiah 9:13-14

It’s a good idea for us to stay humble in the face of adversity. We tend to act like Judah and use our words to lash out, but it’s better for us if we sit back and watch as our enemies devour themselves and not lift a finger in retaliation, and allow God to war against our enemies on our behalf.

Isaiah 8

Fear God, Not People

God instructed Isaiah to name his son Mahershalalhashbaz as a prophecy and the title of the book he was to write. God wanted it plainly written so everyone could understand it. He did as God told him, and when his son was born to his wife, he called her a prophetess and named his son Mahershalalhashbaz, meaning "things will happen quickly." Part of the prophecy said they would be taken by Assyria quickly, before Mahershalalhashbaz could say "mom and dad," before he was one or two. 

For before the child shall have knowledge to cry, My father, and my mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be taken away before the king of Assyria. Isaiah 8:4

Here is what is important for us to understand: God told Isaiah not to walk in the ways of the people and not to let fear grip him. Just as God tells us not to fear the enemy, in this passage of scripture, He instructs Isaiah to praise, worship, and honor God as a way to overcome our fear and to fear God rather than the enemy. 

Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offense to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken. Isaiah 8:13-15

The world is shaky right now, but rather than wringing our hands and worrying about what is happening, lift your face toward heaven, raise your hands, reach up to God, and submit your life to Him, because you are not the object of his recompense; it is the enemy that should fear, not you.

May 24, 2026

Isaiah 7

God told Isaiah to go to King Ahaz, an evil king, and take his son, Shearjashub, which means "the remnant shall return," with him to warn the king that Syria and Ephriam have taken evil counsel to go against Judah and wage war against it. He took his son because, in that time, children had prophetic names, and Shearjashub was a prophecy for Ahaz. This simplified story is only to give you a picture of what was happening during that time; what I want to spotlight is something Ahaz said, and many people today think the same way.

Moreover the LORD spake again unto Ahaz, saying, Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above. But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the LORD. Isaiah 7:10-12

What Ahaz said was a cop-out and would not ask God for help because he depended on the Assyrians and their gods and didn't want to be beholden to God and didn't want to believe in Him. Isaiah includes a strange but important prediction anyway, that seems out of place, that the Messiah would come from his line. However, things would not go well for them. 

And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David; Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also? Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good. Isaiah 7:13-15

The main point that I wanted to make is to ask God for anything. He told Ahaz to ask Him for a sign, but he refused. How many of us think we can handle things on our own and suffer because we failed to ask God to help us? Also, if we don't ask, and God still helps us because He loves us, we will think we handled things ourselves instead of giving God the glory for his intervention. We must talk to God; He's big enough to help all of us simultaneously, and it doesn't weary Him to hear from us and intercede on our behalf.

Isaiah 6

Isaiah saw a vision of the Lord:

In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. Isaiah 6:1

It was then that he realized that he was unclean. However, one of the seraphims flew over to him with a hot coal, touched his lips and make him clean. God needed someone to warn the people and asked who would go for him and Isaiah volunteered.

Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me. Isaiah 6:8

According to Matthew Henry (1672-1714), Isaiah was sent to warn the people of what would happen during the time of Jesus. The people of that time would close their eyes and plug their ears because they didn't want to understand the truth.Because of that, God would make their towns desolate and remove people from their houses to far away, and there would be a great forsaking. 

"… the foregoing predictions being so expressly applied in the New Testament to the J*ws in our Saviour's time, doubtless this points at the final destruction of that people by the Romans, in which it had a complete accomplishment, and the effects of it that people and that land remain under to this day." Matthew Henry. 

The Romans destroyed the Temple during that time. We are not waiting for another temple to be destroyed; it happened during the 70 AD tribulation. The people were removed, leaving the town desolate. Only a small number of people were left; a remnant of 10%, and they were a tithe to God. What we are seeing play out right now is a great deception; don't fall for it. Don't be fooled; open your eyes and look into other historical documents as proof. It's not wrong to look at the books that were left out of the canon like we've been led to believe. Keep your eyes on Jesus; he is our only hope.
