The LORD Almighty will bless them, saying, “Blessed be Egypt my people, Assyria my handiwork, and Israel my inheritance.” (Isaiah 19:25)
If we are to take these words seriously, then it seems that the LORD Almighty has something good to do with Egyptians, for they are God's people, with Assyrians, for they are God's handiwork, and with Israelites, for they are God's inheritance. If all persons take these words to heart, then how can the Egyptian condemn the Assyrian or the Israelite? How can the Assyrian have nothing to do with the Israelite or the Egyptian, and how can the Israelite hate the Egyptian or the Assyrian?
Strife among the people of Egypt, Israel, and Assyria continues to this very day. The human family rejects the blessings of the LORD Almighty.
