OUR LORD WHO INTERVENES TO REDEEM US FROM OPPRESSION

Isaiah chapter 19 verse 13 reads this way;

The officials of Zoan have become fools, the leaders of Memphis are deceived; the cornerstones of her peoples have led Egypt astray.

In the time of Moses, when Egypt oppressed the children of Israel as slaves, the Lord intervened to redeem His people out of Egypt. He confounded the wise men and leaders of the land so that the whole nation was led astray. The Egytians, faced with the unrelenting pressure from the Lord, lost heart and released Israel from slavery.

The time now approaches when the Egypt that oppressed the children of Israel will represent the emerging oppressors of the Lord's people around the world.

The agenda of the powers of darkness is to erase the people of God and  strip even the memory of God from the face of the earth. 

But, as the Lord did to the Egyptians on the Nile, the Lord will confound the wise men of the modern  oppressor such that they all become gullible fools and in that state, lead the whole strategy of darkness astray.

The next verse (Isaiah 19 verse 14), graphically illustrates the condition of the oppressor after the Lord deals with them.

The Lord has poured into them a spirit of dizziness; they make Egypt stagger in all that she does, as a drunkard staggers around in his vomit.

The Great God of Israel renders the enemies of His people unable to function rationally and their plans and ambitions collapse.

Bless the Lord who intervenes to redeem us from oppression.

Amen.
