It indicates a divine pronouncement of blessing, which is significant given the historical enmity between these nations. The context of <a href="/isaiah/19.htm">Isaiah 19</a> is a prophecy concerning Egypt, and this blessing marks a future reconciliation and peace. The idea of God blessing nations outside of Israel foreshadows the New Testament revelation of the gospel being extended to all peoples (<a href="/galatians/3-8.htm">Galatians 3:8</a>).<p><b>saying, “Blessed be Egypt My people</b><br>Referring to Egypt as "My people" is striking, as Egypt was historically an oppressor of Israel (<a href="/exodus/1-11.htm">Exodus 1:11-14</a>). This phrase suggests a future transformation where Egypt will come to know and worship the true God. It reflects the theme of redemption and God's plan to include Gentiles in His covenant community, as seen in the New Testament (<a href="/romans/9-25.htm">Romans 9:25-26</a>).<p><b>Assyria My handiwork</b><br>Assyria, known for its military might and as a threat to Israel and Judah, is called "My handiwork." This indicates God's sovereign control over all nations and His ability to use them for His purposes (<a href="/isaiah/10-5.htm">Isaiah 10:5-15</a>). It also suggests a future where Assyria will acknowledge God's sovereignty, aligning with the prophetic vision of nations turning to God (<a href="/isaiah/2-2.htm">Isaiah 2:2-4</a>).<p><b>and Israel My inheritance.”</b><br>Israel is referred to as "My inheritance," highlighting the special covenant relationship between God and Israel (<a href="/deuteronomy/32-9.htm">Deuteronomy 32:9</a>). This phrase reaffirms Israel's unique role in God's redemptive plan, serving as a light to the nations (<a href="/isaiah/49-6.htm">Isaiah 49:6</a>). The inclusion of Egypt and Assyria alongside Israel points to a future unity among former enemies, fulfilled in the Messianic kingdom where Christ unites all believers (<a href="/ephesians/2-14.htm">Ephesians 2:14-16</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord_of_hosts.htm">The LORD of Hosts</a></b><br>This title emphasizes God's sovereignty and power over all heavenly and earthly armies.

"Him" must be understood collectively, of the <span class="accented">threefold</span> Israel, spread through the <span class="accented">three</span> countries, which all partake of the blessing. The three countries are able to be a blessing to the world at large, because God's blessing rests upon them. <span class="cmt_word">Egypt my people</span>. Egypt's great work in Jewish times, by which she became a blessing to the world, was her translation of the Hebrew Scriptures into Greek, commanded by Egyptian kings, and executed at Alexandria, the Egyptian capital. Neo-Platonism certainly owed much to this source. Stoicism probably something. <span class="cmt_word">Assyria the work of my hands</span>. Assyria did no such work as Egypt. Neither the Targum of Onkelos nor the Babylonian Talmud can be compared for a moment with the Septuagint. Still the Mesopotamian Jews were a blessing to their neighbors. They kept alive in the East the notion of one true and spiritual God; they elevated the tone of men's thoughts; they were a perpetual protest against idolatry, with all its horrors. They, no doubt, prepared the way for that acceptance of Christianity by large masses of the population in Syria, Mesopotamia, Babylonia, and even in Persia, of which we have evidence in the ecclesiastical history of the first seven centuries. <span class="cmt_word">Israel mine inheritance</span> (comp. <a href="/isaiah/47-6.htm">Isaiah 47:6</a>; <a href="/isaiah/63-17.htm">Isaiah 63:17</a>). <p> <p> <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/isaiah/19-25.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">The LORD</span><br /><span class="heb">יְהוָ֥ה</span> <span class="translit">(Yah·weh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun -
