Isaiah 19:18-22 - Exposition

THE TURNING OF EGYPT TO JEHOVAH . The chastisement of the Egyptians shall be followed, after a while, by a great change. Influences from Canaan shall penetrate Egypt ( Isaiah 19:18 ), an altar shall be raised in her midst to Jehovah ( Isaiah 19:19 ), and she herself shall cry to him for succor ( Isaiah 19:20 ) and be delivered ( Isaiah 19:20 ). Egypt shall even become a part of Jehovah's kingdom, shall "know him," and serve him with sacrifice and oblation ( Isaiah 19:21 ), and perform her vows to Jehovah, and have her supplications heard by him, and be converted and healed ( Isaiah 19:22 ).
