Isaiah 19

18. The calling of Egypt into the church
23. The covenant of Egypt, Assyria, and Israel














In that day
This phrase often signifies a future time of divine intervention or fulfillment of prophecy. In the context of Isaiah, it points to a time when God's redemptive plan will be realized in a remarkable way. Historically, "that day" is a prophetic marker, indicating a shift from current circumstances to a future hope. It suggests a divine orchestration of events that transcend human understanding, emphasizing God's sovereignty over history.

Israel
Israel, the chosen people of God, represents not only a nation but also a spiritual identity. In the Hebrew context, Israel is often seen as the bearer of God's covenant promises. The mention of Israel here underscores its central role in God's plan for humanity. Despite its historical struggles and periods of disobedience, Israel remains pivotal in the unfolding of God's redemptive narrative.

will join
This phrase indicates a future action, a coming together or unification. The Hebrew root suggests a binding or alliance that is not merely political but also spiritual. It implies a reconciliation and a breaking down of historical enmities, pointing to a future where former adversaries come together under a common purpose ordained by God.

a three-party alliance
The concept of a "three-party alliance" is significant, as it involves Israel, Egypt, and Assyria—nations historically at odds. This alliance symbolizes a profound transformation in relationships, moving from hostility to cooperation. In the ancient Near Eastern context, such an alliance would have been unprecedented, highlighting the miraculous nature of God's intervention and the peace that His kingdom brings.

with Egypt and Assyria
Egypt and Assyria were powerful empires known for their opposition to Israel. Their inclusion in this alliance signifies a radical change in the geopolitical and spiritual landscape. Historically, these nations were seen as oppressors, yet here they are depicted as partners in God's blessing. This transformation illustrates the universal scope of God's salvation, extending beyond Israel to encompass all nations.

a blessing upon the earth
The phrase "a blessing upon the earth" reflects the ultimate purpose of this alliance. In Hebrew thought, a blessing is a powerful, life-giving force. This alliance is not just for the benefit of the three nations but is intended to bring about a global impact. It echoes the Abrahamic promise that through Israel, all nations would be blessed (Genesis 12:3). This prophetic vision points to a time when God's peace and righteousness will permeate the entire earth, fulfilling His promise of restoration and harmony among all peoples.

Verse 24. - In that day shall Israel be the third; rather, a third. Not third in rank, for ver. 25 shows that she would retain a pre-eminence, but the common intermediary, brining the other two together. A blessing in the midst of the land; rather, in the midst of the earth. Judaean monotheism, upheld by God's people in Palestine, Egypt, and Mesopotamia, would be a blessing, not only to those three countries, but to the world at large. So, and still more, would Christianity.
