På den dagen skal fem byer i Egypt snakke Kanaans språk, og de skal tilbe Hærskarenes Herre. En av dem skal kalles Ir-Haheres – som betyr «ødeleggernes by». På den dagen skal det være et alter for Herren midt i Egypt. Det skal være satt opp en støtte for Herren ved grensen. Den skal være til et tegn – som et vitnesbyrd om at Hærskarenes Herre er i Egypt. For de skal rope ut bønner til Herren på grunn av undertrykkerne. Han skal sende dem en Redningsmann og en som vil kjempe for dem, og Han skal utfri dem.
What Does This Mean?
This verse from Isaiah says that in the future, five Egyptian cities will speak the language of Canaan and will swear an oath to the Lord. One of these cities will be called 'The city of destruction.'
Explained for Children
Imagine five cities in Egypt start speaking the language of the Jewish people and promise to follow God. One city will have a funny name, 'The city of destruction,' but don't worry, it's not about being destroyed, it's about becoming new and better!
Historical Background
Isaiah, a prophet, wrote this around 700 B.C. to a people who were often tempted to rely on Egypt. This prophecy was meant to remind them that only God is worthy of trust and loyalty.
Living It Out Today
Today, this verse can remind us to be loyal to our faith and to speak the truth, even if others around us don't share our beliefs. It encourages us to stand strong and not be swayed by popular culture.
