Middle Easterners Shall Worship Yahweh

The day is approaching when the people of the Middle East will worship the Lord (Yahweh). During 739-690 BC, the area of Egypt and the Assyrian Empire included nearly all of the Middle East stretching from western Iran, the Persian Gulf region, most of Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Israel, as well as Egypt. The Lord predicts that the people of this region shall become His people.

“In that day there will be an altar to the Lord in the heart of Egypt, and a monument to the Lord at its border. It will be a sign and witness to the Lord Almighty in the land of Egypt.

When they cry out to the Lord because of their oppressors, He will send them a Savior and Defender, and He will rescue them. So, the Lord will make Himself known to the Egyptians and in that day, they will acknowledge the Lord. They will worship with sacrifices and grain offerings; they will make vows to the Lord and keep them.

The Lord will strike Egypt with a plague; He will strike them and heal them. They will turn to the Lord, and He will respond to their pleas and heal them. In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria. The Assyrians will go to Egypt and the Egyptians to Assyria. The Egyptians and Assyrians will worship together.

In that day Israel will be the third, along with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing on the earth. The Lord Almighty will bless them, saying, ‘Blessed be Egypt My people, and Assyria My handiwork, and Israel My inheritance.’” [1]
