A message the Lord God revealed to Isaiah the prophet:
The burden of Egypt, Behold, the LORD rideth upon a swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it. And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbour; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom. And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst thereof; and I will destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek to the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards. And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts.-Isaiah 19:1-4***The Egyptians descended from Mizraim, and Mizraim was born to Ham, and Ham was born to Noah the ark builder. The Israelites descended from Noah's son Shem, and Shem's great-great-great-great-great-great-grandson Terah, and Terah's children Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai), their son Isaac and his wife Rebekah, and Isaac and Rebekah's youngest fraternal twin son Jacob (Israel). When Abraham, Sarah and their nephew Lot journeyed from Canaan to temporarily stay in Egypt, Abraham developed a plan that involved Sarah's help to save his life. When Abraham was 86 years old, Ishmael was born to Abraham and Hagar, Sarah's Egyptian maidservant. Hagar chose Ishmael's bride from Egypt. Jacob was married to Rebekah's nieces Leah and Rachel, the daughters of Rebekah's Laban the Syrian. Joseph was the 1st son born to Jacob and Rachel. When Joseph was 17 years old, his brothers sold him to merchants traveling to Egypt. The merchants sold Joseph to Potiphar, an Egyptian official. Joseph became the top enslaved servant in Potiphar's home and was imprioned after Potiphar's wife made a false accusation. In prison, Joseph explained the meaning of 2 dreams. Two years thereafter, Joseph was taken out of prison to explain the meaning of 2 dreams to Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and Pharaoh proclaimed Joseph to be second-in-command in Egypt. After Jacob's brothers went to Egypt for a 2nd time to buy corn during a famine, Jacob revealed his identity to his brothers and told them to move with their families and 130-year-old Jacob to Egypt. When Jacob was 147 years old, he died in Egypt and his family buried his body in Canaan. Sometime after 110-year-old Joseph died and his siblings were dead, their descendants the Israelites were enslaved in Egypt. Miriam and her younger brothers Aaron and Moses were born into the tribe of Jacob and Leah's 3rd born son Levi. When Moses was 80 years old and Aaron was 83, the Lord God sent them to speak to the Israelite elders and to Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. After the Lord God brought the 10th and final plague upon Pharaoh and Egypt, Moses and Aaron led the Israelites, and those with them, away from Egypt, across the divinely parted Red Sea, and into the desert wilderness of Shur. In the desert wilderness of Sinai, in the region of Mount Sinai, the Israelites heard the voice of the Lord God proclaim the Ten Commandments to them, and the Lord God began giving Moses judgments, statutes and laws for the Israelites. The Lord God commanded that the Israelites were not to engage in the acts that they witnessed in Egypt, and were not to return to Egypt, and were not to detest an Egyptian. The Lord God revealed that if the Israelites did not listen to the words of the Lord God and accomplish the commands of the Lord God, the Lord God would cause the Israelites to be taken back to Egypt. During the 40-year journey to Canaan, the Promised Land, Miriam died and was buried in Kadesh, in the desert wilderness of Zin. Upon Mount Hor, 123-year-old Aaron died and was buried. When Moses went upon Mount Nebo, the Lord God showed Moses the Promised Land, and 120-year-old Moses died and was divinely buried. Joshua, Moses' successor, was from the tribe of Ephraim, descended from Joseph and his wife Asenath, and Joseph and Asenath's 2nd born son Ephraim, whom Jacob proclaimed to be his own son. Approximately 400 years after Joshua led the Israelites across the divinely parted Jordan River and onto the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham, and Isaac, and to Jacob, and their descendants, Solomon, the 2nd child born to King David and Bathsheba, became the 3rd king to reign over all of the Israelites. One of Solomon's 700 wives was an Egyptian princess, and Solomon brought a multitude of horses from Egypt, disobeying the commands of the Lord God. Rehoboam, the son born to Solomon and Naamah, was the 4th king to reign over all of the Israelites. After Rehoboam gave a specific answer, the Israelites split into 2 kingdoms, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of Solomon. Judah was the nation in the south, Jerusalem was the royal city, and Rehoboam was the 1st king to reign. Israel was the northern nation and Samaria was the final royal city. Before Jeroboam became the 1st king to rule the northern nation, Jeroboam went to Egypt during the rulership of King Shishak, to avoid being killed by Solomon. When Rehoboam was ruling Judah, Shishak invaded Judah and attacked Jerusalem, according to the will of the Lord God. King Pekah was the 18th king to rule over all of the Israelites in the northern nation of Israel. During Pekah's 20-year reign, the Assyrians invaded the kingdom and King Tiglath-pileser, ruler of Assyria, began taking Israelites to Assyria. King Hoshea was the 19th king to rule over all of the Israelites in the northern nation of Israel. Hoshea forcefully paid tribute to King Shalmaneser, ruler of Assyria, and sought help from King So, ruler of Egypt. During the 9th year of Hoshea's reign, the Assyrians conquered Samaria, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of the Israelites. The king of Assyria began repopulating Samaria and its regions with people from other nations conquered by the Assyrians. Rehoboam's great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandson Hezekiah was the 12th king to rule Judah. During Hezekiah's reign, King Sennacherib, ruler of Assyria began to launch an attack and made reference to Hezekiah seeking help from Egypt. Hezekiah's great-grandson Josiah was the 15th king to rule Judah. Josiah put himself in the path of Pharaoh Necho (Neco), ruler of Egypt, and Josiah was wounded and died. The Israelites appointed Jehoahaz, the son born to Josiah and Hamutal, as king. Necho captured Jehoahaz and took him to Egypt and set Jehoiakim (Eliakim), the son born to Josiah and Zebudah, as king. During Jehoiakim's 11-year reign, the Babylonians (Chaldeans) began conquering Egyptian land, and invaded Judah and Jerusalem. King Nebuchadnezzar, ruler of Babylon, began looting the temple of the Lord. Jehoiachin (Jeconiah/Coniah), the son born to Jehoiakim and Nehushta, was the 18th king to rule Judah, During Jehoiachin's 3-month reign, the Babylonians took more prominent Israelites, including Jehoiachin, his wives and mother, to Babylon. Zedekiah (Mattaniah), the son born to Josiah and Hamutal, was the 19th king to rule Judah. During the 11th year of Zedekiah's reign, the Babylonians conquered Jerusalem, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of the Israelites. Some of the Israelite survivors went to Egypt, disobeying the commands of the Lord God. Several other times during their years in the Promised Land, the Israelites sought help from Egypt. The Lord God revealed to prophet Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Joel, Zechariah, and Isaiah messages regarding Egypt. Over 500 years after Israelites began returning to Judah and Jerusalem, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin. After Joseph received a message from an angel of the Lord, Joseph, Mary and Jesus temporarily stayed in Egypt.-Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus 18:1-30, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 17:1-20, 23:1-25, 28:1-22, 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24,23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, 1 Samuel 1:1-3:21, 8:1-31:13, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 6:1-81, 7:20-29, 10:1-29:30, 2 Chronicles, Isaiah 19:1-20:6, 30:1-31:9, Jeremiah 2:1-37, 37:1-21, 42:1-44:30, 46:1-28, Ezekiel 17:1-24, 19:1-14, 29:1-32:32, Hosea 7:1-9:17, 11:1-12:14, Joel 3:1-21, Zechariah 10:1-12, 14:1-21, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
