The Lord rides a cloud into Egypt, idols tremble, and the Nile economy collapses. Then mercy rises: an altar in Egypt, vows kept, healing given, and a highway joining Egypt, Assyria, and Israel under a triune blessing. Isaiah 19 shows how God strikes to heal and gathers former enemies into worship.
