Isaiah 45:14 today, that single verse.
“Thus saith the LORD, The labour of Egypt, and merchandise of Ethiopia and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over unto thee (Israel), and they shall be thine: they shall come after thee; in chains they shall come over, and they shall fall down unto thee, they shall make supplication unto thee, saying, Surely God is in thee; and there is none else, there is no God.”
This happens during the Millennium.
Three belligerent groups are mentioned, the Egyptians and the Ethiopians and the Sabeans, all virulently anti-Jewish at times … will submit themselves to Israel!
That’s certainly not an event of history … not so far!
But in the future … world opinion and international favor will turn from being against the Jewish people … and will begin to admire God’s little chosen Nation!
Yes granted, the verse is clearly couched in economic terms. The “labor force” of Egypt … now that’s a “twist” isn’t it? The Jews once were Egypt’s labor force! Or should I say “forced labor?” Slaves to the Pharaohs for decades upon decades! But things are different now!
And the “merchandise” of the Ethiopians (thought to be living in the “upper Nile” region of Africa … too! (Talk about “foreign aid!”) Brought and laid at Israel’s feet, reminding me of three Gentile Magi in the past!
Jesus earlier taught us … Where your “treasure” is, there will your “heart” be also! Cash flow! These today mostly Muslim Countries in alliance, in submission to Israel! Can you imagine Jews running OPEC? (I am smiling at God’s Sense of Irony!)
But not only business related is this great “turn.” There is “conversion” in another sense too.
Religiously speaking, spiritually oriented … “They shall make supplication unto thee, saying, Surely God is in thee; and there is none else, there is no God.” The last Line of our Text above, Isaiah 45:14.
No other God?
Just Jehoivah Jesus!
Yes, looks like Jesus is still attracting sinners!
Coming world-wide Revival, I call it.
When?
During the future Kingdom Rule of our Lord Jesus Christ here on earth.
Where else can one situate this miracle?
Praise be unto the Lord!
— Dr. Mike Bagwell
And this is one verse among dozens and dozens indicating the Glory of those coming days!
No wonder Jesus taught us to pray, “Thy Kingdom come!”
