OUR FATHER WHO FREES HIS PEOPLE FROM BONDAGE

The book of Isaiah chapter 19 verse 14 says this;

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.

When rescuing His people from oppressive regimes as He did when saving the children of Israel from Egypt, the Lord uses multiple ways of weakening these regimes and this verse details one of them.

The functionaries of the regime are bathed in a spirit of dizziness which negates their sense of equilibrium and they stagger in confusion and directionlessness in all the activities that they are tasked with.

When the officials of the regime are in this state, the whole country careens from one political crisis to another and becomes increasingly unstable and debilitated. 

They can be likened to a drunkard staggering in his own vomit where inebriation removes all the sensibilities needed to escape even a small pool of vomit.

In this state, along with other pressures brought against them such as economic stagnation and the loss of logical guidance from their policy advisors, the regime loses its grip on the Lord's people who are then freed from bondage.

Amen.
