DETHRONEMENT OF EGYPT AND JOYFUL RESTORATION

PROVERB 18:1-END
ECCLESIASTES 5:1-END
ISAIAH 19:1-END

Egyptians are known for wickedness and atrocities as well as humiliating and subjecting of God’s people to slavery out of their attitudes. Egypt is governed by spirit of greed and covetousness. And this tends to make them oppressors towards God’s people for the sake of Gold or money which they value as a god.
ECCLESIASTES 5:8
(8)        “If you see any oppression of the poor and violation of Justice
            and righteousness in your district, do not be surprise about
the matter for that high official is being watched by one who
is higher than he is, and there are others who are still higher
than them.
(9)        Also, the profit of the land is divided among them all; even
            the king is served by the field
(10)      A lover of silver will never be satisfied with silver,
nor lover of wealth with income. This is futility”

Greed and covetousness still remains the root of atrocity to Egyptians. Their humiliation, perpetration, and twisting of justice is to plunder one of his right to inheritance and therefore making and subjecting such a person to inhuman treatment and rejection. But today God said he is about to avenge the oppressed, Egyptians who have deprived them of their right to inheritance out of greed and covetousness.
ISAIAH 19:3-4
(3)        “And the spirit of Egypt will become confused within it
            and I will confuse its plans; they will resort to the
worthless gods; To charmers and to the spirit mediums
and to the fortune tellers”
(4)          I will hand Egypt over to a hard master; and a harsh King will
                rule over them,  “declare the true Lord, Jehovah of armies”

God said that until Egypt repents, restoration is unpredictable, their acceptance and repentance from defrauding laborers of their wages which is one of the sins that cries to heaven for vengeance will bring restoration their way. But they will do that very soon because of distress they will experience:
ISAIAH 19:20-22
(20)        “It will be for a sign and for a witness to Jehovah because of oppressors
                and he will send them a savior, a grand one who will save them.
(21)        And Jehovah will become known to the Egyptians, and the Egyptians
                will know Jehovah in that day and they will offer sacrifice and gift
                and make a vow to Jehovah and pay it”
(22)        Jehovah will strike Egypt, striking and healing it, and they will
return to Jehovah, and he will respond to their entreaties
and heal them”

Egyptians today are the worldly system and its emperors which comprises the worldly powers that dominate in Economic, Political and Social affairs. Egyptians are noted for multitudes of chariots and horses. These to include armed forces backup, but with all these qualities in their midst God said that He will throw them into confusion to fight each other very soon:
ISAIAH 19:2
(1)                “I will incite Egyptians against Egyptians and they will fight one another
Each against his brother and his neighbor, City against city, Kingdom
against Kingdom”

When God wants to restore a person he will instigate a stronger and more powerful personality to favor him/her. God will later use another stronger nation to restore Egypt and that is when they must have repented and turns away from their wicked ways.
ISAIAH 19:23
(23)        “In that day there will be a high way out of Egypt to Assyria. Then
                Assyria will come into Egypt and Egypt into Assyria and Egypt will
                Serve God together with Assyria
(24)        in that day Israel will be the third along with Egypt and with Assyria,
                A blessing in the midst of the earth
(25)        For Jehovah of Armies will have blessed it, saying “blessed be my people
                Egypt, and the work of my hands Assyria and my inheritance Israel.
