    What is the meaning of the Isaiah 19:8 verse
  • GiGi - In Reply - 4 months ago
    Hello Prashant ghode,

    From reading Isaiah 19:1-9 this is a prophecy upon Egypt that a judgment will come upon Egypt and will gr3eatly affect the fishing industry with the brooks and River Nile being wasted or dried up and the amount of fish being greatly reduced. It is not only the fresh water that will be affected, but the salt water seas that border Egypt will also not bring forth an abundance of fish either.

    It was probably so that the fishing industry was very vital to Egypt and the Lord will hit them where it hurts Egypt significantly to shake their confidence in their idols.
  • Jema - In Reply - 4 months ago
    Isaiah Ch 19 V 8 , starting at V 5 , we the the waters shall fail from the sea and the river ( most likely the river Nile ) shall be wasted and dried up . V 8 tells us that the fishermen shall mourn , most likely because they are unable to catch any fish if the river is dried up .

    Sister Jema:

    Isaiah 19:8 The fishers also shall mourn, and all they that cast angle into the brook shall lament, and they that spread nets upon the waters shall languish.

    Most all of Isaiah is prophecy of the Kingdom of God.

    Egypt is symbolic as is Babylon in Revelation, what they have in common is the spirit of deception, which God is going to destroy.

    Put the FISHERS as a prophecy of his 12 disciples and all those that are ruled by the same Spirit IN THEM as is IN YOU.

    Matthew 4:19 .... I will MAKE YOU fishers of men ....

    Ezekiel 32:3 ... I WILL therefore spread out MY NET over thee, with a GREAT COMPANY of many people, and THEY shall bring thee up in MY NET.

    Ezekiel 47:10 And it shall COME TO PASS, that the FISHERS shall stand upon it ... they shall be a place to spread forth nets, their fish shall be according to their kind, as the fish of a great sea (of humanity), exceeding many.

    This has been happening now for 2000 years.

    Most of this is done after you are harvested and have been translated into the next age, and have become a chariot of fire or a locust as described in Revelation.

    Revelation 9:2 And HE (Christ has the keys to death and the grave) opened the BOTTOMLESS (a grave that can never be filled with all the dead) PIT, and there AROSE a smoke (Christ and his saints) out of the pit (grave), as the smoke of a great furnace (of fire, our God is a consuming FIRE) ...

    Revelation 9:3 And there came out of the SMOKE (the saints and Christ as ONE FLESH) locust on the earth; and unto them was given POWER, as the scorpions of the earth have power.

    Revelation 9:4 And it was commanded them, that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; But ONLY THOSE who HAVE NOT the seal of God in their foreheads.

    Revelation 9:5 And TO THEM IT WAS GIVEN that they should not kill them, but they should BE TORMENTED for five months (symbolic), and there TORMENT was as the TORMENT when a scorpion striketh a man.

    Dear Mary Jay , thank you for those verses , I did think of the Apostles as being fishers of men etc when I read this question . I did also think that the person asking the question seemed a bit like a babe in Christ and was looking for a literal interpretation and so I gave him one :) . Thank you again , I'm off out right now but tonight I shall study those verses that you gave me :) . Hope you have a good day .

    Can you give me a healing pray for a lady that has cancer of the liver.
  • Jema - In Reply - 4 months ago
    Hello Mhsmlt , all prayers should come from the heart . God is no respecter of persons and will hear your prayer if you ask through Jesus name . I always start my prayers something like Dear Heavenly Father , then I thank God for all the good things in my life , then I might ask God for something such as a healing for someone , I usually finish by saying something like : may your kingdom come and may your righteous will be done , I offer this prayer through my sinless high priest in your heavenly places , Jesus Christ the Righteous , your only begotten sinless Son , Amen . That's just a basic outline of what I usually say , your prayer must be from your heart , God wants you to speak to Him honestly and truthfully , they must be your own words . Don't be afraid , He is waiting to hear from you .

    Evening meditation. God's wisdom will change our mortal bodies to eternal as they were in the beginning before the fall. The body is of the corrupted seed. Jesus in a perfect body overcame the world and opened the door to heaven for the believer. Like Daniel we can pray openly, without shame, and commune with our God by Jesus Christ. We are free in Christ by our free soul, covered by the blood and washed by the living water of our Lord. In the Kingdom of God there is the blood bought Church which has blood bought members in peace and in unity and in fellowship with one another. They form a better body of faith together, in hope together of eternal life in the Throne of God. In this life in earth the journey has begun for the new in Life but we must at the appointed time shed this earthen vessel for a heavenly vessel as the earthen vessel is subject to this earth and not the Kingdom in Heaven. The Christian is literally in the world but not of the world if we remain faithful to the heavenly body by the Church as Jesus is her head. Someday He will take her to heaven and marry her forever in His Eternal Home at the Throne of God. This body now, the earthen vessel by Grace can remain bound to the Hope in Heaven

    like an engagement ring. And yet the body with a spirit made clean is now a symbol or a type for our remaining hours on the earth of the work of Jesus Christ, where this pilgrimage began. Our memory is best at the Cross where we are made common in heavenly places. And so while here as pilgrims and strangers on and in earth we can share the Gospel story of Peace in man.

    Thank you GIGI, big work day needs prayers. God Bless you.

  • GiGi - In Reply - 4 months ago
    Hi Carleton, yes, in this life we are bound by our sinful nature which corrupts both our body and soul. It is not just our body that sins, it is our soul also.

    We will have a like resurrection as that of Jesus where our physical body is resurrected and reunited with our soul, but both our body and soul will be perfected and glorified. Our body is not any more evil than our soul, both are corrupted by our sinful nature and need redemption. It is clear from Scripture that God has shown us in the resurrection of His Son that we all will have a bodily resurrection. How the life to come will be for us as body, soul, and spirit, we just cannot know in this life, but Scripture is clear, that we will be like Jesus in His human nature, perfectly whole, complete, sinless, and glorified.

    Can't wait!

    I pray for anyone who is troubled right now to find peace in Jesus name. He told us in John 14 NOT to let our be troubled or alarmed. I pray for peace in your spirit, mind, and soul in Jesus name.
  • Jema - In Reply - 4 months ago
    Thank you so much for that :) .

  • RichFairhurst on Genesis 15 - 4 months ago
    Most commentaries online take the 4th generation mentioned in Genesis 15:16 as just another way of describing the same span of 400 years (or 430 years) that the nation of Israel spent in Egypt which is covered in Genesis 15:12-14. This cannot be the case.

    Genesis 15:16 answers Abraham's question in Genesis 15:8 about how he would know God would cause his seed to inherit the land God had brought him out of Ur to see that Abram was standing on in Hebron. The thought of asking God about when his seed would leave Egypt had nothing to do with Abrams question in Genesis 15:8, since he knew nothing about his seed going to Egypt until God revealed His plan in Genesis 15:12-14.

    Numbers 14:13-25 shows that God made the Israelites wander in the wilderness according to Moses word, which specifically acknowledged God's right to visit the iniquity of the fathers upon the 3rd and 4th generations. The 1st generation that left Egypt punished as the fathers was 20 years old at the census in Numbers 1:1-54. The 2nd generation was their children who were born in Egypt and seen God's wonders, but who could not enter God's promised land until 40 years of wandering with their fathers had passed. That generation spent a maximum of 40 years of their years in military service wandering in the wilderness.

    The 3rd generation would be born over the first 20 years in the wilderness and would spend a maximum of 20 years of their military service wandering in the wilderness. The 4th generation was born in the last 20 years in the wilderness and first served in the army after entering the promised land. The 5th generation spent no time in the wilderness and began entering the army 20 years into Joshua's campaign.

    Caleb was promised Hebron when he was 85 years old, which was 5 years after Israel left the wilderness. Caleb was from the tribe of Judah, the first tribe to gain its inheritance, and he obtained Hebron before he turned 100, the age he would be 20 years into Joshua's campaign.

    This interpretation gives God the glory for telling Abram the whole truth that his seed would not actually take possession of the promised land until 40 years after they left Egypt. Any interpretation that says God was promising Abraham that his seed would possess the land that fails to account for the 40 years Israel spent in the wilderness has to suppose either that God for some reason intentionally left that out and misled Abram about the timing of the answer to his question in Gen 15:8, or that God didn't know about that delay until it occurred.

    Both of those positions are much worse than saying that God did know about the wandering in the wilderness and did reveal a complete answer to Gen 15:8. At the same time, God left Abram and his seed uninformed on certain details, such as which nation Abram's seed would be enslaved by and why it would take another four generations before his seed got back to Hebron other than delaying His judgement on Abram's Amorite allies who had just helped him deliver Lot from captivity. God did not have to tell Abram that the generation that could have entered the land immediately upon leaving Egypt was going to rebel against God and create a 40 year delay.

    If it is acknowledged that this prophesy includes the revelation of God's foreknowledge of Isreal's wandering in the wilderness directly connected with His determination to delay judgement on the Amorites, this prophesy actually becomes one of the earliest examples of God hiding in His revelation the mystery that Israel's rebellion and hardening was going to prove to be riches for the Gentiles.

    The True Gospel

    Jeremiah 5:30-31 declares: "A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land; The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?"

    1 Thessalonians 5:3 "For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape."

    I know that I am a sinner, so what can I do to be saved? The answer is, there is nothing that I, being DEAD in trespasses and sins, can do to affect my salvation!

    Ephesians 2:1 "And you hath he quickened [made alive], who were DEAD in trespasses and sins;"

    John 6:29 "This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent."

    Galatians 2:16 "Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by THE FAITH OF JESUS CHRIST..."

    Romans 9:15-16 "For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy."

    So what about the churches that say, we will show you how to become saved, or, you must be baptized in water and partake of the Lord's supper? Virtually every church promotes a do-it-yourself salvation, which is not that of the Bible! The baptism that is required is the washing away of our sins, which only God can perform. When we meditate on the word of God with a view to being obedient to it, we are feeding on the flesh and drinking the blood of the Lord Jesus.

    John 6:63 "It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life."

    Salvation is 100% the work of God. If we are trusting in any work that we do for Salvation, we are trusting in a FALSE GOSPEL that cannot save.
