以賽亞書19:18-25

19:18 當那日，埃及地必有五城的人說迦南的方言，又指著萬軍之耶和華起誓。有一城必稱為「滅亡城」。
19:19 當那日，在埃及地中必有為耶和華築的一座壇；在埃及的邊界上必有為耶和華立的一根柱。
19:20 這都要在埃及地為萬軍之耶和華作記號和證據。埃及人因為受人的欺壓哀求耶和華，他就差遣一位救主作護衛者，拯救他們。
19:21 耶和華必被埃及人所認識。在那日，埃及人必認識耶和華，也要獻祭物和供物敬拜他，並向耶和華許願還願。
19:22 耶和華必擊打埃及，又擊打又醫治，埃及人就歸向耶和華。他必應允他們的禱告，醫治他們。
19:23 當那日，必有從埃及通亞述去的大道。亞述人要進入埃及，埃及人也進入亞述；埃及人要與亞述人一同敬拜耶和華。
19:24 當那日，以色列必與埃及、亞述三國一律，使地上的人得福；
19:25 因為萬軍之耶和華賜福給他們，說：「埃及─我的百姓，亞述─我手的工作，以色列─我的產業，都有福了！」

¹⁸ On that day there will be five cities in the land of Egypt that speak the language of Canaan and swear allegiance to the Lord of hosts. One of these will be called the City of the Sun.

¹⁹ On that day there will be an altar to the Lord in the center of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the Lord at its border. ²⁰It will be a sign and a witness to the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt; when they cry to the Lord because of oppressors, he will send them a savior, and will defend and deliver them. ²¹The Lord will make himself known to the Egyptians; and the Egyptians will know the Lord on that day, and will worship with sacrifice and burnt offering, and they will make vows to the Lord and perform them. ²²The Lord will strike Egypt, striking and healing; they will return to the Lord, and he will listen to their supplications and heal them.

²³ On that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian will come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians will worship with the Assyrians.

²⁴ On that day Israel will be the third with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth, ²⁵whom the Lord of hosts has blessed, saying, “Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel my heritage.”

    先知以賽亞在此預言到上帝國實現的那日的景況：「必有從埃及通亞述去的大道。亞述人要進入埃及，埃及人也進入亞述；埃及人要與亞述人一同敬拜耶和華。」「以色列必與埃及、亞述三國一律，使地上的人得福；因為萬軍之耶和華賜福給他們，說：『埃及─我的百姓，亞述─我手的工作，以色列─我的產業，都有福了！』」

    當上帝國實現的時候，各國各民都要歸向基督，在基督裡尊上帝為大，將榮耀歸給寶座上的父和被殺的羔羊！而這榮耀就是基督賜屬祂的人，就是一切得救的人，都有公義的冠冕，與基督一同做王到永遠，就把頭上的冠冕獻給上帝！

    是的，我們的禮拜，就是預演將來在上帝面前獻上冠冕。我們要將我們最寶貴的獻給上帝，就是上帝在我們身上所彰顯的榮耀！我們本是一無所有的，這一切都是上帝所給我們的！
