Bible Question:
What is the meaning/Context of Isaiah 19:5, about the Nile river drying up? Does this mean about how it will not overflow/flood the land with water as the Nile does, because I have a Guy saying that this is a false prophesy and I told him it wasn't false he is just not understanding the overall Context.Like in Gen. with the Flood God dried up the waters But we still HAVE Water. Please Help with more Understanding |
Bible Answer: Greetings Archangel01, Isaiah predicted that the Egyptians would fight each other (v. 2) and would "resort to idols and ghosts of the dead" (v. 3). They would be conquered by "a cruel master" (v. 4). The Nile River would dry up and "the reeds and rushes will rot away" (v. 6). The Nile River was Egypt's lifeline, producing their fertile soil. This prophecy may very well be speaking of the future Millennium as it does not seem to correspond to any event in history. The Nile prophecy in 19:5-10 would devastate Egypt's economy, but the prophecy does not mention water that may be stored away. Even though I cannot link this prophecy to a single event, I am quite convinced that the Isaiah prophecies of chapter 19 are fulfilled in history and will be fulfilled in the Millennium. Blessings to you, Makarios |
