This is a prophecy of the end time. Note that all nations are involved and the LORD himself will be fighting for his people. There are similar accounts in Joel 3 and Revelation 16.
Isaiah 19 shows us God has a great plan for Egypt's future.
The writer in Hebrews chapter 2 is showing the superiority of Christ over the angels, yet for the purposes of His Incarnation, suffering & death, He was made a little lower than them (v9). Then from verse 10, Christ's Work in seen in His Salvation & Sanctification of those who put their trust in Him.
But to experience life on Earth & death, he took on the nature of men & not angels (v16). And this death was necessary not only for payment for our sins but a complete identification with us (vv 15, 18). So verse 14 tells us that just as we are 'flesh & blood', so Jesus took on this type of body of flesh, that by dying for us, the power of the Devil might also be destroyed.
While mankind (Israel) was subservient to the Law, they were required to obey it but had no power to gain deliverance from its penalty & Satan's influence to keep them powerless & bound. Christ's death made full payment for our sins, made us acceptable to God & His Blood & Spirit in us gives us victory over Satan, releasing Satan's power over us. However, as we give into sin, we allow Satan to gain a foothold into our lives. And those supposed 'Christians' who engage in rampant sin, show that they count Jesus' Sacrifice & Power over Satan as naught, & in fact have invited Satan to have control over them rather than having the Power & Efficacy of Jesus' Blood over them.
Jacob was blessed being the younger son. There is a Biblical theme which runs throughout the Old and New Testaments in regards to the younger son being chosen over the older son. This deals with God's divine election or choosing not by works but by divine Grace.
9And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. 10And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; 11Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. 12Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey
Fear means false evidence against reality. God is real and he is Sovereign. The eternal God has never lost a battle. The evil people will not win the battle against God, for man is no match for God. Satan cannot defeat God because God took life from Satan eternally when he cast him down, and he is eternally a dead evil spirit. Why join forces with a fool that has never won a battle against God.
Did not this happen when Christ died and rose again and went to heaven.....?? These waters are still healing and saving lives today, without intermission and it will never dry away until the day He returns to take the Church to God. ???
Faithful Zechariah, and so powerful to us today. Remember our lord said if we would have faith of the size of a grain of mustard seed, we would be able to say to this mountain that it should be removed and cast into the sea, and that would happen. How faithful, faithful and true.
I believe all the Bible should be read and studied with the help of God, for only he can give us the understanding he knows we are ready for.I know God says to only fear the one who can take your soul

Acts 1:12 Context
9And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. 10And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; 11Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. 12Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey
