How Strange

Then the LORD will be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians will know the LORD in that day, and will make sacrifice and offering; yes, they will make a vow to the LORD and perform it. And the LORD will strike Egypt, He will strike and heal it; they will return to the LORD, and He will be entreated by them and heal them.  Isaiah 19:21-22

In our day this seems such a mighty work of God, and how strange too! Egypt is at this time one of the nations around Israel known for Islam. To us there seems little chance to see a turning to the Lord's Christ in our lifetime. Once there was a zealous persecutor of the church named Saul from Tarsus. He did not seem likely to become a mighty apostle of the Lord's Christ until a certain trip down the road to Damascus. Watching the world we see little chance that anyone should believe in our Lord's Christ and yet we do, how strange.

Has our Lord been about mighty and unlikely works all along? Is turning a few cities in Egypt and then the entire nation to the Son of God such a mighty work that we would doubt Him? No worries, it is good to read in prophecy that Egypt is just another prodigal who will return to the Lord. 

His mighty works abound!
