New Podcast: An Isaiah 19 Study

On this episode of the Innocence Redeemed podcast, I will be presenting a study of Isaiah 19, specifically verses 1-17 which we can see unfolding now.  The similarities are shockingly similar to what we see now.  Denial, foolishness, idols, perversion, dried-up and poisoned lakes and rivers, and so on.  It’s a time to be bold; A time to be righteous.  Only Jesus can save, not a political idol or ideology.  Trying to hold on to what we knew as normal will not do well.  God will do exactly as His Word declares.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jeremiah 2:19 (NKJV)

 

Your own wickedness will correct you, And your backslidings will rebuke you. Know therefore and see that it is an evil and bitter thing That you have forsaken the LORD your God, And the fear of Me is not in you,” Says the Lord GOD of hosts.

 

 

Isaiah 1:4 (NKJV)

 

⁴ Alas, sinful nation, A people laden with iniquity, A brood of evildoers, Children who are corrupters! They have forsaken the LORD, They have provoked to anger The Holy One of Israel, They have turned away backward.

 

 

Isaiah 5:20 (NKJV)

 

²⁰ Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness;
Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

 

 

Isaiah 19: 1-17 (NKJV) 

 

The burden against Egypt.

 

Behold, the Lord rides on a swift cloud,
And will come into Egypt;
The idols of Egypt will totter at His presence,
And the heart of Egypt will melt in its midst.

 

² “I will set Egyptians against Egyptians;
Everyone will fight against his brother,
And everyone against his neighbor,
City against city, kingdom against kingdom.

 

³ The spirit of Egypt will fail in its midst;
I will destroy their counsel,
And they will consult the idols and the charmers,
The mediums and the sorcerers.

 

⁴ And the Egyptians I will give
Into the hand of a cruel master,
And a fierce king will rule over them,”
Says the Lord, the Lord of hosts.

 

⁵ The waters will fail from the sea,
And the river will be wasted and dried up.

 

⁶ The rivers will turn foul;
The brooks of defense will be emptied and dried up;
The reeds and rushes will wither.

 

⁷ The papyrus reeds by the River, by the mouth of the River,
And everything sown by the River,
Will wither, be driven away, and be no more.

 

⁸ The fishermen also will mourn;
All those will lament who cast hooks into the River,
And they will languish who spread nets on the waters.

 

⁹ Moreover those who work in fine flax
And those who weave fine fabric will be ashamed;
¹⁰ And its foundations will be broken.
All who make wages will be troubled of soul.

 

¹¹ Surely the princes of Zoan are fools;
Pharaoh’s wise counselors give foolish counsel.
How do you say to Pharaoh, “I am the son of the wise,
The son of ancient kings?”

 

¹² Where are they?
Where are your wise men?
Let them tell you now,
And let them know what the Lord of hosts has purposed against Egypt.

 

¹³ The princes of Zoan have become fools;
The princes of Noph are deceived;
They have also deluded Egypt,
Those who are the mainstay of its tribes.

 

¹⁴ The Lord has mingled a perverse spirit in her midst;
And they have caused Egypt to err in all her work,
As a drunken man staggers in his vomit.

 

¹⁵ Neither will there be any work for Egypt,
Which the head or tail,
Palm branch or bulrush, may do.

 

¹⁶ In that day Egypt will be like women, and will be afraid and fear because of the waving of the hand of the Lord of hosts, which He waves over it. 

 

¹⁷ And the land of Judah will be a terror to Egypt; everyone who makes mention of it will be afraid in himself, because of the counsel of the Lord of hosts which He has determined against it.

 

 

Matthew 18:6 (NKJV)

 

⁶ “But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

 

 

Revelation 8:7-11 (NKJV)

 

First Trumpet: Vegetation Struck

 

⁷ The first angel sounded: And hail and fire followed, mingled with blood, and they were thrown to the earth. And a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.

 

 

Second Trumpet: The Seas Struck

 

⁸ Then the second angel sounded: And something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood. ⁹ And a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.

 

 

Third Trumpet: The Waters Struck

 

¹⁰ Then the third angel sounded: And a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. ¹¹ The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the water, because it was made bitter.
