Three Nations Resurrected In A Day
by Dr. Max D. Younce

Isaiah 19:23-24, “In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians. In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land.”
Three Nations Resurrected In A Day (MP3)
Notes
Egypt, Assyria, and Israel. - Three Nations Resurrected In a Day.
These three nations are in the news continually. We would have no idea if all three will be destroyed by warfare, captured by another nation; or, be a nation maintaining its identity on this Earth until the Lord creates the New Heavens and New Earth. The world leaders cannot convey to us the assurance of what is going to happen tomorrow; let alone the future! Only God, who has created this Earth and given it to his creation as a dwelling place, can write the future with absolute accuracy.
"The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord's: but the earth hath he given to the children of men." (Psalm 115:16)
The Lord makes it perfectly clear to mankind that He writes the History before it ever comes to pass, and it is contained in His Book, the Bible."I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I shewed them; I did them suddenly, and they came to pass. (V.3)
In this message we are only dealing with Assyria from the Rapture into the Tribulation Period and the Millennium. The Lord is going to bless Assyria. (Genesis 12:3)
"In that day (The Kingdom) shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land: (V.24)
Whom the Lord of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance." (Isaiah 19:24-25)
Old Assyria was composed of Iraq and Syria. In 721 B.C., Assyria captured Samaria, and took the ten northern tribes of Israel into captivity. Sargon II took the best and most prosperous into exile and treated them kindly. They had homes, businesses, trades, and lived a very good life. These were replaced in Israel by colonists from the provinces; which, also, lived a very good life.
Assyria was known as being ruthless and extremely cruel to their enemies when captured. For whatever reason, it was not so with Israel. This is only a guess; but, maybe Assyria thought that, should they ever be attacked by one of their enemies, the Jews would aid in their defense in return for the kindness they had received.
God never forgets to keep His promises. God, in speaking to Abraham, the progenitor of the Nation of Israel, made a promise to anyone and everyone who is kind in blessing Israel. This blessing is promised in Genesis 12:3.
"And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed."
God has never forgotten how Assyria treated Israel while in captivity for approximately 100 years. Assyria kept them alive and treated them well. They will be known as "Assyria" and reign with Christ during His earthly kingdom. There will be a highway between Assyria and Egypt that will be heavily traveled. All families will be required to go up to Jerusalem once a year to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. (Zechariah 14:16)
Israel, Egypt, and Assyria, will worship together at this great feast of our Wonderful Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. There will be love, instead of hate; and peace, instead of war!
"In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians. (V.23)
In THAT DAY shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land:" (Isaiah 19:23-24)
We note: "That day" is the Kingdom Reign of Christ. Remember, Assyria was made up of Iraq and Syria. Whether they unite politically as one before the Rapture; or, in the Tribulation Period, no one knows. But, in the Millennium, they will be known as Assyria.
God always keeps His promises.
"And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed." (Genesis 12:3)
Proof is given in the prophecy of Isaiah, Chapter 19.
"In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians. (V.23)
In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land: (V.24)
Whom the Lord of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance." (Isaiah 19:23-25)
