The Future Of The Middle East
Isaiah chapter 19 gives the future of the Middle East. Current historical events are already in the process of gradually confirming this prophecy. There aren't many numeric features, but God’s signature can still be seen in the chapter. This assures us this future will happen.
Eventually there will be peace in the Middle East. Egyptians and Iraqis (Assyrians) will join Israel in worshiping God (יהוה).

Isaiah 19:1 | There will be a religious change in Egypt. |
Isaiah 19:5 | The Nile will dry up. This was not possible until global warming, changing weather patterns and the melting of the glaciers. Isaiah gave a similar prophecy in the eleventh chapter, verse 15. The Nile is first divided into seven channels and reduced to a trickle. The tongue of Egyptwhich is the delta region will be destroyed. This has already occurred. The annual silt renewal of the land stopped after Egypt built the Aswan Dam. Satellite pictures show much of the delta has now been eroded away. |
Isaiah 19:19-21 | Egypt will build an altar to God in the midst of their land, and a monument at the border with Israel. They will offer God sacrifices, gifts and swear by Him. |
Isaiah 19:20-22 | God will save the Egyptians when they cry out to Him. If they stray, He will punish them until they return. |

2.3Odd valued words: 32578 = 2 x 7 x 13 x 179.
2.4Even valued words: 48090 = 2 x 3 x 5 x 7 x 229.
3.There are an odd number of words, so the passage cannot be divided evenly into halves using the number of words, but there are an even number of letters (1338 = 2 x 3 x 223).
3.1First half of the letters: 40488 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 241.
3.2Last half of the letters: 40180 = 2 x 2 x 5 x 7 x 7 x 41.
3.3The number of letters can be divided six ways into various groups. Groups of 2, 3, 6, 223, 446, and 669. Four of these six groups have features following Revelation 1:8's is, was, and is to come.
3.3.1Every other group of 2 letters: 42276 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 13 x 271.
3.3.2Every other group of 3 letters: 41275 = 5 x 5 x 13 x 127.
3.3.3Odd positioned groups of 223 letters: 37051 = 7 x 67 x 79.
3.3.4Every other group of 223 letters: 43617 = 3 x 7 x 31 x 67.
4.Since Isaiah chapter 19 has a numeric total divisible by 7, this means it can be attached to The Proclamation and still produce a total divisible by 7: 6174 + 80668 = 86842 = 2 x 7 x 6203. This is not a new feature because mathematical laws ensure this is so. The new feature appears when Revelation 1:8's principle of Alpha and Omega is applied.
4.1The first and last words of Exodus 34:6-7 plus the first and last words of Isaiah 19: 317 + 322 + 341 + 541 = 1521 = 3 x 3 x 13 x 13. Two factors of thirteen confirm God’s name.
4.2.1The first 8 words.
From Exodus 34:6-7: 1126. From Isaiah 19: 1331.
The two together: 1126 + 1331 = 2457 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 7 x 13.
4.2.2The last 8 words.
From Exodus 34:6-7: 1580. From Isaiah 19: 2725.
Together: 1580 + 2725 = 4305 = 3 x 5 x 7 x 41. SF: 56 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 7. SF: 13.
4.2.3The first and last 8 words from both passages put together: 2457 + 4305 = 6762 = 2 x 3 x 7 x 7 x 23. SF: 42 = 2 x 3 x 7. An extra factor of 7 appears, and these factors go another level.
4.3.1The first 9 words.
From Exodus 34:6-7: 1334. From Isaiah 19: 1340.
Together: 1334 + 1340 = 2674 = 2 x 7 x 191.
4.3.2The last 9 words.
From Exodus 34:6-7: 1680. From Isaiah 19: 2996.
Together: 1680 + 2996 = 4676 = 2 x 2 x 7 x 167.
4.3.3And once again put the results together: 2674 + 4676 = 7350 = 2 x 3 x 5 x 5 x 7 x 7. An extra factor of 7 appears again.
4.4.1The first 52 letters.
From Exodus 34:6-7: 2416 From Isaiah 19: 2505
Total together: 4921 = 7 x 19 x 37. SF: 63 = 3 x 3 x 7. SF: 13.
4.4.2The last 52 letters.
From Exodus 34:6-7: 2761 From Isaiah 19: 3749
Total together: 6510 = 2 x 3 x 5 x 7 x 31.
4.4.3The results of first and last are put together: 4921 + 6510 = 11431 = 7 x 23 x 71. There is no extra factor of seven in this case. Nor do the factors add up to anything divisible by 7 or 13. But the sum of the factors is 101, a prime number visually representing the one same God first and last.
Conclusion
The Middle East, and specifically Jerusalem and Israel are intractable problems by today's standards due to the competing claims of the Jewish and Palestinian peoples, and the claims of three religions. This was prophesied long ago.
On that day I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples; all who lift it shall grievously hurt themselves. And all the nations of the earth will come together against it. (Zechariah 12:3)3
The Bible does not give a detailed roadmap to the future, but it does give a few hints and the conclusion here in Isaiah 19. Egypt will undergo severe punishment and tribulation. This means their current religion, Islam, is not the right religion. The severe testing that is coming will even turn them to superstitious beliefs. After they exhaust every avenue, they will turn to the God of the Bible. And God will call them, My people.
Assyria (Iraq) will be God’s strange work (Isaiah 28:21). The two will join Israel in worshipping God properly and will become a blessing in the centre of the earth.
