OUR FATHER WHO BRINGS DOWN OUR OPPRESSORS

Isaiah chapter 19 verses 3 - 4 says this;

The Egyptians will lose heart,  and I will bring their plans to nothing; they will consult the idols and the spirits of the dead,  the mediums and the spiritists.

I will hand the Egyptians over to the power of a cruel master and a fierce king will rule over them,” declares the Lord, the Lord Almighty.

The Egyptians, in this verse, are standing in for the world systems that oppress God's people and they, having undertaken to place God's people into bondage,  will be undermined by the Lord and all their plans will be brought to nothing.

When the tide turns against them, they will lose heart and they will try make sense of what is happening to them by consulting mediums and spiritists in order to get supernatural explanations and strategies to overcome what is befalling them

While in this state of despondence, a fierce and cruel leader will be installed as king over the Egyptians to bring order and momentum to their evil plans but it will not work.

The Egyptians, however,  will get a taste of the cruel treatment they meted out to Lord's people when they are ill-treated by their own evil ruler.

This will be part of the dissolution of the power that Egypt will have over God's people and in the end, Egypt will brought down and many will turn to the Lord.

Amen.
