Isaiah 18-22
Isaiah 18
An Oracle Concerning Ethiopia
1 (2Ki 19:9; Eze 30:4-5) Woe to the land vibrating with wings,
which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia,
2 (Ge 10:8-9; 2Ch 12:2-4) which sends ambassadors by the sea,
even in vessels of reeds on the waters, saying,
"Go, swift messengers,
to a nation tall and smooth,
to a people feared far and wide,
a nation strong and oppressive,
whose land the rivers have divided."
3 (Isa 5:26; 26:11) All you inhabitants of the world,
and dwellers on the earth:
When he lifts up a banner on the mountains,
you will see it;
and when he blows a trumpet,
you will hear it.
4 (Isa 26:21; Hos 5:15) For so the Lord said to me:
I will look from My dwelling place quietly,
like dazzling heat in the sunshine,
like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.
5 (Eze 17:6-10) For before the harvest, when the bud is perfect
and the sour grape is ripening in the flower,
then He shall both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks
and take away and cut down the branches.
6 (Jer 7:33; Eze 32:4-6) They shall be left together for the fowl
of the mountains
and for the beasts of the earth;
and the fowl shall spend the summer feeding on them,
and all the beasts of the earth shall spend the winter on them.
7 (Isa 45:14; Zep 3:10) In that time a present shall be brought
to the Lord of Hosts
from a people tall and smooth,
and from a people feared far and wide,
a nation strong and oppressive,
whose land the rivers have divided,
to the place of the name of the Lord of Hosts, even Mount Zion.
(A prophecy that could happen soon)
Isaiah 19
An Oracle Concerning Egypt
1 (Ex 12:12; Jos 2:11) The oracle of Egypt.
See, the Lord is riding on a swift cloud
and shall come into Egypt;
and the idols of Egypt shall tremble at His presence,
and the heart of Egypt shall melt in its midst.
2 (Jdg 7:22; 1Sa 14:20) I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians,
and they shall fight every one against his brother,
and every one against his neighbor,
city against city,
and kingdom against kingdom.
3 (Isa 8:19; Da 2:2; 1Ch 10:13) The spirit of Egypt shall be discouraged
in their midst,
and I will destroy their counsel;
then they shall seek for the idols and for the charmers
and for the mediums and the sorcerers.
4 (Isa 20:4; Jer 46:26) The Egyptians I will give over
into the hand of a cruel lord,
and a fierce king shall rule over them,
says the Lord, the Lord of Hosts.
5 (Jer 51:36; Eze 30:12) The waters from the sea shall dry up,
and the river shall be parched and dry.
6I (sa 37:25; Ex 2:3) The canals shall emit a stench;
the streams of Egypt shall diminish and dry up;
the reeds and rushes shall wither.
7 The papyrus reeds by the brooks,
by the mouth of the brooks,
and everything sown by the brooks,
shall wither, be driven away, and be no more.
8 (Eze 47:10; Hab 1:15) The fishermen also shall mourn,
and all those who cast a line into the brooks shall lament,
and those who spread nets on the waters
shall languish.
9 (Eze 27:7; Pr 7:16) Moreover those who work with fine flax
and those who weave white cloth shall be humiliated;
10 and the pillars of Egypt shall be crushed.
All the hired workers shall be grieved in soul.
11 (Nu 13:22; 1Ki 4:30) Surely the princes of Zoan are fools;
the counsel of the wise counselors of Pharaoh has become stupid.
How can you say to Pharaoh,
"I am a son of the wise,
a son of ancient kings?"
12 (1Co 1:20) Where are they? Where are your wise men?
Let them tell you now, and let them understand
what the Lord of Hosts
has purposed against Egypt.
13 (Jer 2:16; Eze 30:13 ) The princes of Zoan have become fools;
the princes of Memphis are deceived;
they have also seduced Egypt,
even those who are the cornerstone of her tribes.
14 (Job 12:25; Jer 25:27) The Lord has mingled
a perverse spirit in her;
so they have caused Egypt to err in her every work,
as a drunken man staggers in his vomit.
15 (Isa 9:14-15) Nor shall there be any work for Egypt,
which its head or tail, its branch or bulrush, may do.
16 (Isa 11:15; Jer 51:30) In that day Egypt shall become like women.
And it shall be afraid and be in dread because of the shaking of the hand
of the Lord of Hosts which He is about to shake over it.
17 (Isa 14:24; Da 4:35) The land of Judah shall become a terror to Egypt.
Everyone to whom it is mentioned shall be in dread of it,
because of the counsel of the Lord of Hosts
which He has determined against it.
18 (Zep 3:9; Isa 19:21) In that day five cities in the land of Egypt
shall speak the language of Canaan and swear to the Lord of Hosts.
One shall be called the City of Destruction.
19 (Ge 28:18; Jos 22:10) In that day there shall be an altar to the Lord
in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the Lord at its border.
20It shall be for a sign and for a witness to the Lord of Hosts in the land
of Egypt. For they shall cry to the Lord because of the oppressors,
and He shall send them a Savior and a Champion. And He shall deliver them.
21 (Isa 11:9; Mal 1:11) The Lord shall be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians
shall know the Lord in that day, and shall worship with sacrifice
and offering, they shall make a vow to the Lord and perform it.
22 (Dt 32:39; Hos 14:1) The Lord shall strike Egypt. He shall strike
and heal it. Then they shall return to the Lord, and He shall be entreated
by them and shall heal them.
23 (Isa 11:16) In that day there shall be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria,
and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria,
and the Egyptians shall worship with the Assyrians.
24 (Isa 65:8; Ge 12:2) In that day Israel shall be the third group
with Egypt and Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the earth,
25 (Isa 29:23; Ps 100:3) whom the Lord of Hosts has blessed, saying,
"ÂBlessed is Egypt My people, and Assyria the work of My hands,
and Israel My inheritance."
Isaiah 20
A Prophecy Against Egypt and Ethiopia
1 (2Ki 18:17) In the year that the Tartan
[Possibly Commander-in-Chief.] came to Ashdod, when Sargon the king of Assyria
sent him, and he fought against Ashdod and took it,
2 (1Sa 19:24; Mic 1:8) at the same time the Lord spoke
by Isaiah the son of Amoz saying, "Go and loosen the sackcloth
from your waist and take off your shoes from your feet."
And he did so, walking naked and barefoot.
3 (Isa 8:18) The Lord said, "Even as My servant Isaiah has walked naked
and barefoot three years for a sign and wonder against Egypt and Ethiopia,
4 (Isa 19:4; Jer 13:22) so the king of Assyria shall lead away the Egyptians
as prisoners and the Ethiopians as captives, young and old,
naked and barefoot, even with their buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.
5 (Isa 30:3; 30:5) Then they shall be dismayed and ashamed of Ethiopia
their hope and Egypt their boast.
6 (Mt 23:33; 1Th 5:3) So the inhabitants of this coastland shall say
in that day, 'Certainly such is our hope, where we flee for help
to be delivered from the king of Assyria! And how shall we escape?' "
Isaiah 21
A Prophecy Against Babylon
1 (Isa 13:1; Jer 51:42) The oracle of the desert of the sea.
As whirlwinds in the Negev pass through,
so it comes from the desert,
from a terrible land.
2 (Isa 33:1; Ps 60:3) A grievous vision is declared to me;
the treacherous one still deals treacherously,
and the destroyer still destroys.
Go up, O Elam. Lay siege, O Media.
All her sighing I have made to cease.
3 (Isa 13:8; Ps 48:6) Therefore, my loins are filled with pain;
pangs have taken hold of me as the pangs of a woman who travails.
I am so perplexed at the hearing of it;
I am so dismayed at the seeing of it.
4 My heart panted,
fearfulness overwhelmed me;
the night for which I longed
has turned into trembling for me.
5 (Jer 51:39; 51:57) Prepare the table,
watch in the watchtower,
eat and drink.
Arise, you princes,
and oil the shields.
6 (2Ki 9:17-20) For thus the Lord has said to me:
"Go, station a watchman;
let him declare what he sees.
7 (Isa 21:9) When he sees chariots
with horsemen in pairs,
a chariot of donkeys,
and a chariot of camels,
then let him pay close attention,
very close attention."
8 Then the watchman called:
"O Lord, I stand continually on the watchtower in the daytime,
and I am stationed at my guard post every night.
9 (Jer 51:8; Rev 14:8) Look, here comes a chariot of men,
horsemen in pairs."
And he answered and said,
"Fallen, fallen is Babylon.
And all the graven images of her gods
lie shattered on the ground."
10 (Jer 51:33; Mic 4:13) O my threshed people and my afflicted
of the threshing floor!
What I have heard from the Lord of Hosts,
the God of Israel,
I have declared to you.
A Prophecy Against Edom
11 (Ge 25:14; 1Ch 1:30) The oracle of Dumah.
He calls to me out of Seir,
"Watchman, how far gone is the night?
Watchman, how far gone is the night?"
12 The watchman says,
"The morning comes and also the night.
If you would inquire, inquire;
return again."
A Prophecy Against Arabia
13 (Jer 25:23-24; Ge 25:3) The oracle about Arabia.
In the forest of Arabia you shall lodge,
O traveling companies of Dedanites.
14 (Ge 25:15; Job 6:19) Bring water for the thirsty,
O inhabitants of the land of Tema;
meet the fugitive with bread.
15 For they fled from the swords,
from the drawn sword,
and from the bent bow,
and from the grievousness of war.
16 (Ps 120:5; Isa 16:14) For thus the Lord has said to me:
Within a year, according to the years of a hireling,
all the glory of Kedar shall fail.
17 (Nu 23:19; Isa 1:20) And the remainder of the number of archers,
the mighty men of the children of Kedar, shall be diminished,
for the Lord God of Israel has spoken it.
Isaiah 22
An Oracle Concerning Jerusalem
1 (Jer 21:13; Ps 125:2) The oracle of the Valley of Vision.
What ails you now,
that you all have gone up to the housetops,
2 (Isa 32:13; 23:7) you who were full of noise,
a tumultuous city, a joyous city?
Your slain are not slain with the sword,
nor did they die in battle.
3 All your rulers have fled together;
they are captured by the archers.
All of you who were found were taken captive together,
although they had fled from afar.
4 (Jer 9:1; Mic 1:8) Therefore, I say, "Look away from me,
I will weep bitterly;
do not try to comfort me
because of the destruction of the daughter of my people."
5 (Isa 10:6; 37:3) For it is a day of trouble and of treading down
and of perplexity
by the Lord God of Hosts
in the Valley of Vision,
a breaking down of the walls
and a crying to the mountains.
6 (2Ki 16:9; Isa 21:2) Elam took up the quiver
with chariots of men and horsemen,
and Kir uncovered the shield.
7 Your choicest valleys shall be full of chariots,
and the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate.
8 (1Ki 7:2; 10:17) And He shall remove the protection of Judah.
You shall depend in that day
on the weapons of the house of the forest;
9 (2Ki 20:20) you have seen also that the breaches
of the City of David are many;
and you gathered together the waters
of the lower pool.
10 You have numbered the houses of Jerusalem,
and the houses you have broken down to fortify the wall.
11 (2Ki 25:4) You also made a reservoir between the two walls
for the water of the old pool.
But you have not looked to its Maker,
nor did you respect Him who fashioned it long ago.
12 (Joel 2:17; 1:13) In that day the Lord God of Hosts
called you to weeping and mourning,
and to tear your hair and wear sackcloth.
13 (Isa 56:12; 1Co 15:32; Lk 17:26-29) Yet, there is joy and gladness,
slaying of oxen and killing of sheep,
eating of meat and drinking wine:
"Let us eat and drink,
for tomorrow we may die."
14 (1Sa 3:14; Isa 5:9) It was revealed in my hearing by the Lord of Hosts:
Surely this iniquity shall not be forgiven you until you die,
says the Lord God of Hosts.
15 (2Ki 18:18; Isa 36:3) Thus says the Lord God of Hosts:
Come, go to this treasurer,
even to Shebna, who is over the royal household, and say:
16 (Mt 27:60; 2Ch 16:14) What right do you have here?
And whom do you have here
that you have dug out for yourself a tomb here,
as he who hews out for himself a tomb on high,
and who cuts a habitation for himself in a rock?
17 Indeed, the Lord is about to hurl you headlong, O man;
He is about to seize you firmly.
18 (Isa 17:13) He will surely violently turn
and toss you like a ball into a large country;
there you shall die,
and there the chariots of your glory shall be
the shame of your lord’s house.
19 (Job 40:11-12; Eze 17:24) I will drive you from your office
and pull you down from your station.
20 (2Ki 18:18; Isa 36:3) In that day I will call My servant Eliakim
the son of Hilkiah.
21 (Ge 45:8) And I will clothe him with your robe and tie him securely
with your sash. And I will entrust him with your authority,
and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem
and to the house of Judah.
22 (Job 12:14; Rev 3:7) The key of the house of David I will lay
on his shoulder. Then he shall open, and no one shall shut.
And he shall shut, and no one shall open.
23 (1Sa 2:8; Ezr 9:8) I will fasten him as a nail in a firm place,
and he shall become a glorious throne to his father's house.
24 They shall hang on him all the glory of his father's house,
the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity,
from the bowls to all the jars.
25 (Isa 46:11; Mic 4:4) In that day, says the Lord of Hosts,
the nail that is fastened in the firm place shall be removed,
and be cut down and fall. And the load that was on it shall be cut off,
for the Lord has spoken it.

entitled Navigating the Storms of Life
Psalms 43
1 Vindicate me, O God,
and plead my cause against an ungodly nation;
deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.
2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) For You are the God of my refuge;
why have You rejected me?
Why do I walk about mourning
because of the oppression of the enemy?
3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) Send out Your light and Your truth.
Let them lead me;
let them bring me to Your holy hill,
and to Your dwelling place.
4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) Then I will go to the altar of God,
to the God of my joyful gladness;
with the harp I will give thanks to You,
O God, my God.
5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) Why are you cast down, O my soul?
And why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God;
for I will yet give Him thanks,
the salvation of my countenance and my God.
On July 16, 1999, the small plane piloted by John F. Kennedy Jr.
crashed into the Atlantic Ocean. Investigators determined the cause
of the accident to be a common error known as spatial disorientation.
This phenomenon occurs when, due to poor visibility, pilots become
disoriented and forget to rely on their instruments to help them
successfully reach their destination.
As we navigate life, there are often times when life gets so overwhelming
we feel disoriented. A cancer diagnosis, the death of a loved one, a job loss,
a betrayal by a friend-life's unexpected tragedies can easily leave us feeling
lost and confused.
When we find ourselves in these kinds of situations, we might try offering
the prayer of Psalm 43. In this psalm, the psalmist is overwhelmed
and feeling lost because he feels surrounded by evil and injustice.
In despair, the psalmist pleads with God to provide His sure guidance
to help him safely navigate through the situation to his desired destination,
God's presence (vv. 3–4). In God's presence the psalmist knows he'll find
renewed hope and joy.
What are the tools the psalmist requests for guidance?
The light of truth and the assurance of God's presence by His Holy Spirit.
When you’re feeling disoriented and lost, God's faithful guidance
through His Spirit and loving presence can comfort you and light your way.

3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation
Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools
Week 7 Promises of Grace - Day 6 Humility and Exaltation
1 Peter 5:6-7
6 (Jas 4:10; Mt 23:12) Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God,
that He may exalt you in due time.
7 (Ps 55:22; 37:5) Cast all your care upon Him, because He cares for you.
"I was so humble I was given an award for humility," the pastor quipped.
"They gave me a humility plaque - but they had to take it back when I hung it
on my office wall."
Humility is rare among 20th Centuey Christians. Our pride tkaes two
seemingly contradictory forms: Self-exaltation and self-denial. But both
focus on self, not on God.
Francois Fenelon, 17th century French archibishop, From his
"Letters of Spiritual Counsel" wrote:
"He who so completely forgetd himself that he never thinks of self ... is
truly humble. If we had the light to discern it, we should see clearly that
when we think we are humbling ourselves we are exalting ourselves;
when we think we are annihilating ourseles we are seeking out own life."
True humility, as Fenelon implies, means recognising who we are in the light
of who God is. Excess of self-importance and low self-esteem are both
self-centered perspectives; true humility is God-centered.
When we humble ourselves, we become intensely aware of God and less
aware of ourselves. We can focus on his face and get our eyes off our own
image. We can stop worrying about how others percieve us. Such humbling
is diffiuclt - as one 70-year-old saint joked, "It ain't the heat that gets
you, it's the humility." But when we submit to him and fell the weight of the
"Mighty hand of God" upon us, we can forget ourselves, abandon
ourselves to his presence, and cast our cares upon him.
Application
a) What form does my pride usualy take - self-exaltation or self-degradtion?
b) Why must I humble myself in order for the Lord to lift me up?
4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland
Romans 13:7-8
7 (Mt 17:25; 22:21) Render to all what is due them: taxes to whom taxes
are due, respect to whom respect is due, fear to whom fear is due,
and honor to whom honor is due.
8 (Ro 13:10; Mt 7:12) Owe no one anything, except to love one another,
for he who loves another has fulfilled the law.
5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:
God's Eternal Faithfulness
Ps 117
1 Praise the Lord, all you nations! Exalt Him, all you peoples!
2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) For His merciful kindness is great towardus,
and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever.
Remember God's promises when You pray
The Lord's prayer
Matthew 6:9-13
9 "Therefore pray in this manner:
Our Father who is in heaven,
hallowed be Your name.
10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;
Your will be done
on earth, as it is in heaven.
11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.
12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."
6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2021 edition?)
Where do Muslims live?
Canada is a land of immigrants. And Muslims are coming in increasing numbers
to our shores. Where do they live? How can we prayfor these areas? Use this as
your more effectively for Muslims in Canada.
Data for those population figures is extrapoled for the 2011 National
Household Survay and population growth projections by Pew Forum. These have
also been adjusted by +40% as reliable sources state that on 60% of Muslims
self-identify on government surveys and forms. These estimates are still on
the conservative end of the spectrum. Percentages represent that of the total
Canadian population, not provincial
BC - 136493 - 7.5%

30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020
Under the Keep Praying page
When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month
and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days
of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that
usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,
of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be
decorated and festivals will be held.
For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the
distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of
Islam.
You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",
which means Blessed Eid!"
Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you
know, and Muslims around the world:
- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions
in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about
unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such
movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three
decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim
relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.
Acts 2:12-17 : 17 12 They were all amazed and perplexed, saying to each other,
"What does this mean?"
13 (1Co 14:23) Others mocking said, "These men are full of new wine."
Peter's Speech at Pentecost
14 (Ac 1:26) But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice
and said to them, "Men of Judea and all you who dwell in Jerusalem,
let this be known to you, and listen to my words.
15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose,
since it is the third hour of the day.
16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
17 (Isa 44:3; Ac 10:45) 'In the last days it shall be,' says God,
'that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your young men shall see visions,
and your old men shall dream dreams.'
- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective
discipleship movements among Muslim people.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for
Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.
Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a
hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under
a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the
house."
Ideas for prayer
- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you
- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving
Christ among Muslim people -
Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."
- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims
throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!
My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further
call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity
(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, atheists, secular humanists, ...) .

a) Pray that God will convict the hearts of Canadians of the false
idea that all moral choices are equal and
without consequences
( John 16:7-8
7 "Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is expedient for you that I go away.
For if I do not go away, the Counselor will not come to you.

Rom 3:19-20
19 Now we know that whatever the law says,
it says to those who are under the law,
so that every mouth may be silenced,
and all the world may become accountable to God.
20 Therefore by the works of the law
no flesh will be justified in His sight,
for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.
2 COr 5:10
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ,
that each one may receive his recompense in the body,
according to what he has done,
whether it was good or bad.
2 Cor 10:5
5 casting down imaginations and every high thing
that exalts itself against the knowledge of God,

Isaiah 18-22
Isaiah 18
An Oracle Concerning Ethiopia
1 (2Ki 19:9; Eze 30:4-5) Woe to the land vibrating with wings,
which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia,
2 (Ge 10:8-9; 2Ch 12:2-4) which sends ambassadors by the sea,
even in vessels of reeds on the waters, saying,
"Go, swift messengers,
to a nation tall and smooth,
to a people feared far and wide,
a nation strong and oppressive,
whose land the rivers have divided."
3 (Isa 5:26; 26:11) All you inhabitants of the world,
and dwellers on the earth:
When he lifts up a banner on the mountains,
you will see it;
and when he blows a trumpet,
you will hear it.
4 (Isa 26:21; Hos 5:15) For so the Lord said to me:
I will look from My dwelling place quietly,
like dazzling heat in the sunshine,
like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.
5 (Eze 17:6-10) For before the harvest, when the bud is perfect
and the sour grape is ripening in the flower,
then He shall both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks
and take away and cut down the branches.
6 (Jer 7:33; Eze 32:4-6) They shall be left together for the fowl
of the mountains
and for the beasts of the earth;
and the fowl shall spend the summer feeding on them,
and all the beasts of the earth shall spend the winter on them.
7 (Isa 45:14; Zep 3:10) In that time a present shall be brought
to the Lord of Hosts
from a people tall and smooth,
and from a people feared far and wide,
a nation strong and oppressive,
whose land the rivers have divided,
to the place of the name of the Lord of Hosts, even Mount Zion.
(A prophecy that could happen soon)
Isaiah 19
An Oracle Concerning Egypt
1 (Ex 12:12; Jos 2:11) The oracle of Egypt.
See, the Lord is riding on a swift cloud
and shall come into Egypt;
and the idols of Egypt shall tremble at His presence,
and the heart of Egypt shall melt in its midst.
2 (Jdg 7:22; 1Sa 14:20) I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians,
and they shall fight every one against his brother,
and every one against his neighbor,
city against city,
and kingdom against kingdom.
3 (Isa 8:19; Da 2:2; 1Ch 10:13) The spirit of Egypt shall be discouraged
in their midst,
and I will destroy their counsel;
then they shall seek for the idols and for the charmers
and for the mediums and the sorcerers.
4 (Isa 20:4; Jer 46:26) The Egyptians I will give over
into the hand of a cruel lord,
and a fierce king shall rule over them,
says the Lord, the Lord of Hosts.

and the river shall be parched and dry.

by the mouth of the brooks,
and everything sown by the brooks,
shall wither, be driven away, and be no more.

and those who weave white cloth shall be humiliated;
10 and the pillars of Egypt shall be crushed.
All the hired workers shall be grieved in soul.
11 (Nu 13:22; 1Ki 4:30) Surely the princes of Zoan are fools;
the counsel of the wise counselors of Pharaoh has become stupid.
How can you say to Pharaoh,
"I am a son of the wise,
a son of ancient kings?"
12 (1Co 1:20) Where are they? Where are your wise men?
Let them tell you now, and let them understand
what the Lord of Hosts
has purposed against Egypt.
13 (Jer 2:16; Eze 30:13 ) The princes of Zoan have become fools;
the princes of Memphis are deceived;
they have also seduced Egypt,
even those who are the cornerstone of her tribes.
14 (Job 12:25; Jer 25:27) The Lord has mingled
a perverse spirit in her;
so they have caused Egypt to err in her every work,
as a drunken man staggers in his vomit.

One shall be called the City of Destruction.
19 (Ge 28:18; Jos 22:10) In that day there shall be an altar to the Lord
in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the Lord at its border.
20It shall be for a sign and for a witness to the Lord of Hosts in the land
of Egypt. For they shall cry to the Lord because of the oppressors,
and He shall send them a Savior and a Champion. And He shall deliver them.
21 (Isa 11:9; Mal 1:11) The Lord shall be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians
shall know the Lord in that day, and shall worship with sacrifice
and offering, they shall make a vow to the Lord and perform it.
22 (Dt 32:39; Hos 14:1) The Lord shall strike Egypt. He shall strike
and heal it. Then they shall return to the Lord, and He shall be entreated
by them and shall heal them.
23 (Isa 11:16) In that day there shall be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria,
and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria,
and the Egyptians shall worship with the Assyrians.
24 (Isa 65:8; Ge 12:2) In that day Israel shall be the third group
with Egypt and Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the earth,
25 (Isa 29:23; Ps 100:3) whom the Lord of Hosts has blessed, saying,

and Israel My inheritance."
Isaiah 20
A Prophecy Against Egypt and Ethiopia
1 (2Ki 18:17) In the year that the Tartan
[Possibly Commander-in-Chief.] came to Ashdod, when Sargon the king of Assyria
sent him, and he fought against Ashdod and took it,
2 (1Sa 19:24; Mic 1:8) at the same time the Lord spoke
by Isaiah the son of Amoz saying, "Go and loosen the sackcloth
from your waist and take off your shoes from your feet."
And he did so, walking naked and barefoot.
3 (Isa 8:18) The Lord said, "Even as My servant Isaiah has walked naked
and barefoot three years for a sign and wonder against Egypt and Ethiopia,
4 (Isa 19:4; Jer 13:22) so the king of Assyria shall lead away the Egyptians
as prisoners and the Ethiopians as captives, young and old,
naked and barefoot, even with their buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.
5 (Isa 30:3; 30:5) Then they shall be dismayed and ashamed of Ethiopia
their hope and Egypt their boast.
6 (Mt 23:33; 1Th 5:3) So the inhabitants of this coastland shall say
in that day, 'Certainly such is our hope, where we flee for help
to be delivered from the king of Assyria! And how shall we escape?' "
Isaiah 21
A Prophecy Against Babylon
1 (Isa 13:1; Jer 51:42) The oracle of the desert of the sea.
As whirlwinds in the Negev pass through,
so it comes from the desert,
from a terrible land.
2 (Isa 33:1; Ps 60:3) A grievous vision is declared to me;
the treacherous one still deals treacherously,
and the destroyer still destroys.
Go up, O Elam. Lay siege, O Media.
All her sighing I have made to cease.
3 (Isa 13:8; Ps 48:6) Therefore, my loins are filled with pain;
pangs have taken hold of me as the pangs of a woman who travails.
I am so perplexed at the hearing of it;
I am so dismayed at the seeing of it.
4 My heart panted,
fearfulness overwhelmed me;
the night for which I longed
has turned into trembling for me.
5 (Jer 51:39; 51:57) Prepare the table,
watch in the watchtower,
eat and drink.
Arise, you princes,
and oil the shields.
6 (2Ki 9:17-20) For thus the Lord has said to me:
"Go, station a watchman;
let him declare what he sees.
7 (Isa 21:9) When he sees chariots
with horsemen in pairs,
a chariot of donkeys,
and a chariot of camels,
then let him pay close attention,
very close attention."
8 Then the watchman called:
"O Lord, I stand continually on the watchtower in the daytime,
and I am stationed at my guard post every night.
9 (Jer 51:8; Rev 14:8) Look, here comes a chariot of men,
horsemen in pairs."
And he answered and said,
"Fallen, fallen is Babylon.
And all the graven images of her gods
lie shattered on the ground."
10 (Jer 51:33; Mic 4:13) O my threshed people and my afflicted
of the threshing floor!
What I have heard from the Lord of Hosts,
the God of Israel,
I have declared to you.
A Prophecy Against Edom
11 (Ge 25:14; 1Ch 1:30) The oracle of Dumah.
He calls to me out of Seir,
"Watchman, how far gone is the night?
Watchman, how far gone is the night?"
12 The watchman says,
"The morning comes and also the night.
If you would inquire, inquire;
return again."
A Prophecy Against Arabia
13 (Jer 25:23-24; Ge 25:3) The oracle about Arabia.
In the forest of Arabia you shall lodge,
O traveling companies of Dedanites.
14 (Ge 25:15; Job 6:19) Bring water for the thirsty,
O inhabitants of the land of Tema;
meet the fugitive with bread.
15 For they fled from the swords,
from the drawn sword,
and from the bent bow,
and from the grievousness of war.
16 (Ps 120:5; Isa 16:14) For thus the Lord has said to me:
Within a year, according to the years of a hireling,
all the glory of Kedar shall fail.
17 (Nu 23:19; Isa 1:20) And the remainder of the number of archers,
the mighty men of the children of Kedar, shall be diminished,
for the Lord God of Israel has spoken it.
Isaiah 22
An Oracle Concerning Jerusalem
1 (Jer 21:13; Ps 125:2) The oracle of the Valley of Vision.
What ails you now,
that you all have gone up to the housetops,
2 (Isa 32:13; 23:7) you who were full of noise,
a tumultuous city, a joyous city?
Your slain are not slain with the sword,
nor did they die in battle.
3 All your rulers have fled together;
they are captured by the archers.
All of you who were found were taken captive together,
although they had fled from afar.
4 (Jer 9:1; Mic 1:8) Therefore, I say, "Look away from me,
I will weep bitterly;
do not try to comfort me
because of the destruction of the daughter of my people."
5 (Isa 10:6; 37:3) For it is a day of trouble and of treading down
and of perplexity
by the Lord God of Hosts
in the Valley of Vision,
a breaking down of the walls
and a crying to the mountains.
6 (2Ki 16:9; Isa 21:2) Elam took up the quiver
with chariots of men and horsemen,
and Kir uncovered the shield.
7 Your choicest valleys shall be full of chariots,
and the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate.
8 (1Ki 7:2; 10:17) And He shall remove the protection of Judah.
You shall depend in that day
on the weapons of the house of the forest;
9 (2Ki 20:20) you have seen also that the breaches
of the City of David are many;
and you gathered together the waters
of the lower pool.
10 You have numbered the houses of Jerusalem,
and the houses you have broken down to fortify the wall.
11 (2Ki 25:4) You also made a reservoir between the two walls
for the water of the old pool.
But you have not looked to its Maker,
nor did you respect Him who fashioned it long ago.
12 (Joel 2:17; 1:13) In that day the Lord God of Hosts
called you to weeping and mourning,
and to tear your hair and wear sackcloth.
13 (Isa 56:12; 1Co 15:32; Lk 17:26-29) Yet, there is joy and gladness,
slaying of oxen and killing of sheep,
eating of meat and drinking wine:
"Let us eat and drink,
for tomorrow we may die."
14 (1Sa 3:14; Isa 5:9) It was revealed in my hearing by the Lord of Hosts:
Surely this iniquity shall not be forgiven you until you die,
says the Lord God of Hosts.
15 (2Ki 18:18; Isa 36:3) Thus says the Lord God of Hosts:
Come, go to this treasurer,
even to Shebna, who is over the royal household, and say:
16 (Mt 27:60; 2Ch 16:14) What right do you have here?
And whom do you have here
that you have dug out for yourself a tomb here,
as he who hews out for himself a tomb on high,
and who cuts a habitation for himself in a rock?
17 Indeed, the Lord is about to hurl you headlong, O man;
He is about to seize you firmly.
18 (Isa 17:13) He will surely violently turn
and toss you like a ball into a large country;
there you shall die,
and there the chariots of your glory shall be
the shame of your lord’s house.
19 (Job 40:11-12; Eze 17:24) I will drive you from your office
and pull you down from your station.
20 (2Ki 18:18; Isa 36:3) In that day I will call My servant Eliakim
the son of Hilkiah.
21 (Ge 45:8) And I will clothe him with your robe and tie him securely
with your sash. And I will entrust him with your authority,
and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem
and to the house of Judah.
22 (Job 12:14; Rev 3:7) The key of the house of David I will lay
on his shoulder. Then he shall open, and no one shall shut.
And he shall shut, and no one shall open.
23 (1Sa 2:8; Ezr 9:8) I will fasten him as a nail in a firm place,
and he shall become a glorious throne to his father's house.
24 They shall hang on him all the glory of his father's house,
the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity,
from the bowls to all the jars.
25 (Isa 46:11; Mic 4:4) In that day, says the Lord of Hosts,
the nail that is fastened in the firm place shall be removed,
and be cut down and fall. And the load that was on it shall be cut off,
for the Lord has spoken it.

entitled Navigating the Storms of Life
Psalms 43
1 Vindicate me, O God,
and plead my cause against an ungodly nation;
deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.
2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) For You are the God of my refuge;
why have You rejected me?
Why do I walk about mourning
because of the oppression of the enemy?
3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) Send out Your light and Your truth.
Let them lead me;
let them bring me to Your holy hill,
and to Your dwelling place.
4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) Then I will go to the altar of God,
to the God of my joyful gladness;
with the harp I will give thanks to You,
O God, my God.
5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) Why are you cast down, O my soul?
And why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God;
for I will yet give Him thanks,
the salvation of my countenance and my God.
On July 16, 1999, the small plane piloted by John F. Kennedy Jr.
crashed into the Atlantic Ocean. Investigators determined the cause
of the accident to be a common error known as spatial disorientation.
This phenomenon occurs when, due to poor visibility, pilots become
disoriented and forget to rely on their instruments to help them
successfully reach their destination.
As we navigate life, there are often times when life gets so overwhelming
we feel disoriented. A cancer diagnosis, the death of a loved one, a job loss,
a betrayal by a friend-life's unexpected tragedies can easily leave us feeling
lost and confused.
When we find ourselves in these kinds of situations, we might try offering
the prayer of Psalm 43. In this psalm, the psalmist is overwhelmed
and feeling lost because he feels surrounded by evil and injustice.
In despair, the psalmist pleads with God to provide His sure guidance
to help him safely navigate through the situation to his desired destination,
God's presence (vv. 3–4). In God's presence the psalmist knows he'll find
renewed hope and joy.
What are the tools the psalmist requests for guidance?
The light of truth and the assurance of God's presence by His Holy Spirit.
When you’re feeling disoriented and lost, God's faithful guidance
through His Spirit and loving presence can comfort you and light your way.

3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation
Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools
Week 7 Promises of Grace - Day 6 Humility and Exaltation
1 Peter 5:6-7
6 (Jas 4:10; Mt 23:12) Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God,
that He may exalt you in due time.
7 (Ps 55:22; 37:5) Cast all your care upon Him, because He cares for you.
"I was so humble I was given an award for humility," the pastor quipped.
"They gave me a humility plaque - but they had to take it back when I hung it
on my office wall."
Humility is rare among 20th Centuey Christians. Our pride tkaes two
seemingly contradictory forms: Self-exaltation and self-denial. But both
focus on self, not on God.
Francois Fenelon, 17th century French archibishop, From his
"Letters of Spiritual Counsel" wrote:
"He who so completely forgetd himself that he never thinks of self ... is
truly humble. If we had the light to discern it, we should see clearly that
when we think we are humbling ourselves we are exalting ourselves;
when we think we are annihilating ourseles we are seeking out own life."
True humility, as Fenelon implies, means recognising who we are in the light
of who God is. Excess of self-importance and low self-esteem are both
self-centered perspectives; true humility is God-centered.
When we humble ourselves, we become intensely aware of God and less
aware of ourselves. We can focus on his face and get our eyes off our own
image. We can stop worrying about how others percieve us. Such humbling
is diffiuclt - as one 70-year-old saint joked, "It ain't the heat that gets
you, it's the humility." But when we submit to him and fell the weight of the
"Mighty hand of God" upon us, we can forget ourselves, abandon
ourselves to his presence, and cast our cares upon him.
Application
a) What form does my pride usualy take - self-exaltation or self-degradtion?
b) Why must I humble myself in order for the Lord to lift me up?
4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland
Romans 13:7-8
7 (Mt 17:25; 22:21) Render to all what is due them: taxes to whom taxes
are due, respect to whom respect is due, fear to whom fear is due,
and honor to whom honor is due.
8 (Ro 13:10; Mt 7:12) Owe no one anything, except to love one another,
for he who loves another has fulfilled the law.
5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:
God's Eternal Faithfulness
Ps 117
1 Praise the Lord, all you nations! Exalt Him, all you peoples!
2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) For His merciful kindness is great towardus,
and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever.
Remember God's promises when You pray
The Lord's prayer
Matthew 6:9-13
9 "Therefore pray in this manner:
Our Father who is in heaven,
hallowed be Your name.
10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;
Your will be done
on earth, as it is in heaven.
11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.
12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."
6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2021 edition?)
Where do Muslims live?
Canada is a land of immigrants. And Muslims are coming in increasing numbers
to our shores. Where do they live? How can we prayfor these areas? Use this as
your more effectively for Muslims in Canada.
Data for those population figures is extrapoled for the 2011 National
Household Survay and population growth projections by Pew Forum. These have
also been adjusted by +40% as reliable sources state that on 60% of Muslims
self-identify on government surveys and forms. These estimates are still on
the conservative end of the spectrum. Percentages represent that of the total
Canadian population, not provincial

30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020
Under the Keep Praying page
When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month
and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days
of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that
usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,
of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be
decorated and festivals will be held.
For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the
distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of
Islam.
You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",
which means Blessed Eid!"
Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you
know, and Muslims around the world:
- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions
in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about
unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such
movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three
decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim
relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.
Acts 2:12-17 : 17 12 They were all amazed and perplexed, saying to each other,
"What does this mean?"
13 (1Co 14:23) Others mocking said, "These men are full of new wine."
Peter's Speech at Pentecost
14 (Ac 1:26) But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice
and said to them, "Men of Judea and all you who dwell in Jerusalem,
let this be known to you, and listen to my words.
15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose,
since it is the third hour of the day.
16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
17 (Isa 44:3; Ac 10:45) 'In the last days it shall be,' says God,
'that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your young men shall see visions,
and your old men shall dream dreams.'
- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective
discipleship movements among Muslim people.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for
Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.
Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a
hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under
a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the
house."
Ideas for prayer
- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you
- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving
Christ among Muslim people -
Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."
- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims
throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!
My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further
call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity
(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, atheists, secular humanists, ...) .

http://www.ehc.ca
16th Day of the Month
a) Pray that God will convict the hearts of Canadians of the false
idea that all moral choices are equal and
without consequences
( John 16:7-8
7 "Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is expedient for you that I go away.
For if I do not go away, the Counselor will not come to you.
But if I go, I will send Him to you.
8 When He comes, He will convict the world of sin and of righteousness and of judgment"
)
b) Pray that poeple's hearts would be opened to see the folly
of denying God's supremacy
(
John 14:6
6 Jesus said to him,
"I am the way, the truth, and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through Me."
Rom 3:19-20
19 Now we know that whatever the law says,
it says to those who are under the law,
so that every mouth may be silenced,
and all the world may become accountable to God.
20 Therefore by the works of the law
no flesh will be justified in His sight,
for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.
2 COr 5:10
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ,
that each one may receive his recompense in the body,
according to what he has done,
whether it was good or bad.
2 Cor 10:5
5 casting down imaginations and every high thing
that exalts itself against the knowledge of God,
bringing every thought into
captivity to the obedience of Christ,
)
Conclusion:
Pray to the Lord to understand his prophecies , fulfilled
