ARMAGEDDON: THE BEAUTY OF THE WARRIOR KING PART 1– ISAIAH 6:1-3

HEAVEN AND EARTH RECONCILED THE CENTER PIECE OF THE STUDY OF END-TIMES. In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple. Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, […]

How to Apply the 5 Prophetic Decrees in Isaiah 19:16-25

  WHY THE CHURCH NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND GOD’S END-TIME PLAN FOR EGYPT At the center of God’s End-Time purposes are three nations Israel, Egypt and Iraq (Isa. 19:24- 25). Ancient Assyria is present day Iraq including areas of Syria, Jordan and Turkey. In End- Time prophecy, there is more info on Egypt and Iraq than any other Gentile nations. 24 In that day Israel will be one of three with Egypt and Assyria– a blessing in the midst of the land, 25 whom the LORD of hosts shall bless, saying, “Blessed is Egypt My people, and Assyria the work of My hands, and Israel My inheritance.” (Isa. 19:24-25) What happens in these three nations both positive and negative will affect all nations.   THE CONTEXT FOR ISAIAH 19: THE ANTICHRIST’S REIGN OF TERROR IN ISRAEL Israel’s governmental leaders will make a covenant with the Antichrist (called the covenant with death and Sheol), and will give their authority to him seven years before Jesus’ Coming (Isa. 28:14-18; Dan. 9:27; 11:45; Zech. 11:16; Ezek. 38:11, 14; 39:26; 1 Thes. 5:3).   14 Hear the word of the LORD, you scornful men (leaders of End-Time Israel), who rule this people who are in Jerusalem, 15 Because you have said, “We have made a covenant with death, and with Sheol (hell) we are in agreement. When the overflowing scourge (Antichrist’s reign of terror) passes through, it will not come to us, for we have made lies our refuge…” 18 Your covenant with death will be annulled, and your agreement with Sheol will not stand (Antichrist will betray Israel); when the overflowing scourge passes through, then you will be trampled down by it… 19 It will be a terror just to understand the report.” (Isa. 28:14-19) Daniel prophesied of the Antichrist’s military campaigns in the End-Times (Dan. 11:40-45). The Antichrist will establish his palace and part of his headquarters in the land of Israel. A palace is a large and stately mansion used as the official residence of a king.   40 At the time of the end the king of the South (Egypt) shall attack him (Antichrist); and the king of the North  (Syria)  shall  come  against  him…41  He  shall  enter the Glorious Land…many countries shall be overthrown…42 The land of Egypt shall not escape. 43 He shall have power over the treasures of gold and silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt…45 He (Antichrist) shall plant the tents of his palace between the seas (Mediterranean Sea and Dead Sea) and the glorious holy mountain (Jerusalem)… (Dan. 11:40-45) Half of Jerusalem will be taken into captivity or possibly as many as 300,000 Jewish people. 2 For I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem; the city shall be taken…half of the city shall go into captivity, but the remnant of the people shall not be cut off… (Zech. 14:2) Isaiah declared 5 ”in that day” decrees to be released by prayer (v. 16-17; 18; 19-22; 23; 24-25). Perseverance: we are encouraged to persevere when we know that victory is certain Proclamation: we openly declare the truths of Isaiah 19 to the Church and the nations Intercession: we pray for the release of these five decrees in Egypt and the nations   DECREE #1 (INDIVIDUAL): RELEASE THE FEAR OF GOD AND POWER (ISA. 19:16-17)   Unbelievers in Egypt will be gripped with the fear of the Lord in hearing of God’s power on the Church and His judgments on the wicked (v. 16). Those who refuse the grace of God will also be terrified hearing the report of the Antichrist’s reign of terror in Judah (v. 17). Jesus will wave or stretch forth His hand to release power (Acts 2:17-19; 4:29-30; Rev. 11:3-6). 16 In that day Egypt will…be afraid and fear because of the waving of the hand of the LORD of hosts, which He waves over it. 17 And the land of Judah will be a terror to Egypt; everyone  (individual focus) who makes mention of it will be afraid in himself (individual focus), because of the counsel of the LORD of hosts which He has determined against it. (Isa. 19:16-17) Be pray, “Lord, wave Your hand of power to wake up Egypt to Your salvation and to release the spirit of the fear of the Lord. Release Your hand over the house of prayer, apostolic leadership, the prophetic Church and political leaders. Stop ungodly leaders who resist Your purposes”. DECREE #2 (REGIONAL): TO RELEASE A SPIRIT OF REVIVAL (ISA. 19:18) The spirit of revival will rest in an unusual way on five cities in Egypt before Jesus’ Coming to such a degree that the city (region) will boldly swear to follow Jesus and operate in a forerunner spirit. To speak the “language of Canaan” means to speak Hebrew. 18 In that day five cities in the land of Egypt will speak the language of Canaan and swear by the LORD of hosts; one will be called the City of Destruction (lit. City of the Sun). (Isa. 19:18)   We pray, “Lord, release a spirit of revival in five cities until the city leadership fully honors Your leadership”. Come in power to awaken five regions with an unusual outpouring of the Spirit”.   DECREE #3 (NATIONAL): PRAYER MINISTRY AND NATIONAL SALVATION (ISA. 19:19-22)   We see four distinct stages of activity related to the End-Time prayer movement in Egypt. Their national oppression (stage #1) creates the context for a national deliverance (stage #2) which leads to national salvation (stage #3) which provides the opportunity for national healing (stage #4). Healing includes the land and social infrastructure destroyed by the Antichrist oppressors.   19 In that day there will be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the LORD at its border. 20 It will be for a sign and for a witness to the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they will cry to the LORD because of the oppressors, and He will send them a Savior and a Mighty One, and He will deliver them. 21 Then the LORD will be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians will know the LORD in that day, and will make sacrifice and offering; yes, they will make a vow to the LORD and perform it. 22 The LORD will strike Egypt, He will strike and heal it; they will return to the LORD, and He will be entreated by […]
