“In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with
Assyria, [even] a blessing in the midst of the land: Whom the LORD of hosts
shall bless, saying, Blessed [be] Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my
hands, and Israel mine inheritance.”
(Isa 19:24-25 AV)
If
there are any doubts that God is the God of the impossible, this should dispel
them all! Imagine a time when Egypt,
Iraq/Iran, and Israel are all at peace with one another and all worship the
LORD Jesus Christ. The biggest reason
they are at odds with one another is none worship the Messiah! Not even Israel. They are fighting because they are not at
peace with God. When enemies are at
peace with God, they will be at peace with one another.
We
know this is future tense. This has
never happened in the history of mankind.
If Israel were at peace with Egypt, Assyria (Iran/Iraq) would be the
aggressor. If Israel was at peace with
Assyria, then Egypt would be the aggressor.
If Egypt and Assyria were at peace, then Israel was the aggressor. Never in the history of mankind has all three
nations been at peace one with another, least of all, all worshiping the LORD
Jesus Christ!
If
we ever doubt the LORD’s ability to answer our situation, all we need to
remember is the God would can part the Red Sea, make mountains quake, and cause the rise and fall of kingdoms is the
same God who watches over us. Our
problems, no matter how significant they may be to us, are nothing in the sight
and ability of God! If He can cause
three kingdoms who have warred for thousands of years to come to peace and
worship His Son, surely this same God can work His wonderful will in the midst
of our trying times.
