And I will stir up Egyptians against Egyptians, and they will fight, each against another and each against his neighbor, city against city, kingdom against kingdom;
Isaiah 19:2 ESV
Remember that Egypt Is often used in prophecy as a metaphor of the whole world apart from Israel. “Kingdom against kingdom” could refer to upper and lower Egypt, but likely also refers to the kingdoms of all the world. God judges one nation by sending another nation.
Good Morning ☕️?
An oracle concerning Egypt. Behold, the LORD is riding on a swift cloud and comes to Egypt; and the idols of Egypt will tremble at his presence, and the heart of the Egyptians will melt within them.
Isaiah 19:1 ESV
Egypt (mitzrayim) literally refers to Egypt, but it is also a metaphor of the world apart from Israel. Try reading this prophecy in that light and see if it speaks on both levels.
“Cloud” (ab) implies a dark storm cloud. It’s the same word translated as “thick cloud” in Exodus 19:9 ESV when God meets Moses on Sinai. God's presence is often accompanied by clouds, smoke, darkness, and fire.
Recently I have received some messages asking if what is called “the Way” began in the book of Acts. Paul refers to this as if it is something new, however Paul is drawing his language from the prophets. Malichi 2:8, “But you have departed from THE WAY, and your instruction has caused many to stumble. You have violated the covenant of Levi,” says the LORD of Hosts.” This language is used often but easily overlooked, so no The Way did not begin in Acts but long before.
Wow! What a breath of fresh air this place is so far! I am really excited and looking forward to meeting you all and sharing with you. It feels like it's been a long time since I've seen this kind of interaction online. Whoever developed this site, thank you!

Question 230: Who were the guiltier of Moshiach’s death, the Jews or the Romans?
Answer:
Both were guilty, although the onus of the malevolent persecution of Moshiach rests with the Jews. When they brought Him before Pilate and that official, although representing the power of Rome and even admitting that he could "find no fault" in Yeshua weakly yielded to the fanatical clamour for the sacrifice, he became a principal with a full share of responsibility for the tragedy that followed. A stronger man, backed by the Roman authority and convinced of the injustice of the mob's demand, would have resolutely refused to permit the innocent to suffer. History is full of passages recording the nobility and justice of men whose firmness checked the commission of crimes in the name of law.
Roman justice even in that day, was proverbial. It was therefore the duty of Pilate to have executed justice as Governor of Judea. When he had examined Moshiach and declared that he "found no fault in Him" (John 19:6) and again when he declined to acknowledge responsibility for the "blood of this just Person," he was pledged by his judicial oaths to execute not injustice in obedience to clamour, but justice, even in the face of the whole Jewish nation. Roman laws governed Judea; the native laws, secular and ecclesiastical, could only be recognized and enforced where they did not conflict with those of Rome. Pilate stifled the voice of conscience, set aside the result of his judicial inquiry, disregarded the warning of his wife and basely consented to a murder in obedience to Jewish clamour. The priests, it is true never wavered in their demand for the Saviour’s death and even warned Pilate that if he refused to order the execution, he would not be Caesar's friend. This touched the Governor's weak point: his ambition. To stand well with Caesar he gratified the populace and ordered his troops to carry out their wishes.
