OUR FATHER WHO MAKES THE WISE MEN FOOLISH (May 22nd 2024)

The book of Isaiah chapter 19 verse 11 says this;

The officials of Zoan are nothing but fools; the wise counselors of Pharaoh give senseless advice. How can you say to Pharaoh, “I am one of the wise men, a disciple of the ancient kings”?

This verse, within a chapter discussing the different  ways that the Lord handicaps the oppressors of His people, speaks of the method of rendering the officials of the country into fools and affecting the counselors of the leaders so that they can only offer senseless guidance.

The oppressive kings are led astray because those who give them advice represent themselves as 'wise men' who are guided by the ancient Kings but in this arrangement, their interactions are intercepted and their wisdom is replaced with nonsensical options.

These wise men, having been summoned to help the oppressors deal with the fall out of the plagues of judgement that they have already suffered, are deceived and the whole oppressive system they are trying to preserve continues to weaken under the pressure of God's judgement against them.

As Romans chapter 1 verse 22 says, 

Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools

Amen.
