Prophecy given by Bob Fox on 1-2-06

I felt the Lord's leading to give this prophect given on 1-2-06. This word essentialy follows Isaiah 19, especially vs 3-25. I gave this word at the annual CBN New Year's Day prayer meeting in Virginia Beach. Giving public prophetic warnings was not something I normally did then, but the Lord had clearly impressed me with this message taken from Isaiah 19--a prophecy of judgement and revival for Egypt

Here is the word in summary form:

1. America is in trouble with God. He has seen their sin infect the nations via the media; he has seen the tens of millions of innocent babies aborted and the silence of the Church; He has seen whole denominations endorse homosexuality; He has seen rampant sin in every level of government and even in the Church; He has tried to draw us back to Himself in the 90’s but we would not have Him. Now, since 2000, he has decided to judge us as a nation and as a Church.

2. He will do this primarily through our economy. He knows that He cannot get our attention as a nation or as the America Church without touching our wallets.

3. He is unleashing our enemies against us. He has allows El Qaeda to have access to us. Unless the Lord guards the city, the US military stands watch in vain.

4. Diseases, plagues, droughts and storms and more will come until America and the Church repents fully for its sins and the sins of our ancestors in the founding of this great nation.

5. All of this will lead to revival in greater measure. A worldwide revival and harvest is coming that is greater than anyone has seen or could imagine. God’s “severe mercy” now—His remedial judgment on us to cleanse and heal us—will allow more souls to enter heaven and it will qualify America to play a larger role in the global revival to come.

Thus says the Lord!

Is 19 carries the pattern for this remedial judgment leading to national and international revival:

· God will bring confusion in the land. ( Is 19:3)

· Many people will turn to the occult for help initially. (v.3)

· Our enemies will have much control over us. (v.4)

· Our economy will dry up. (vs.5-10)

· Government leaders will act foolishly. God will give them a "spirit of stupidly". (vs.11-14)

· Fear will fill the land. (vs. 16-17)

· People will then cry out to God who will hear and send a Champion to deliver them. (vs.19-20)

· God will supernaturally reveal Himself to America. (v.21)

· God will strike America and then heal America so that America will return to Him. (v.22)

· Unprecedented collaboration among believers in many nations will bring great blessing to the earth! (vs.23-25)

Isa 19:1-25
(1) The oracle concerning Egypt. Behold, the LORD is riding on a swift cloud and is about to come to Egypt; The idols of Egypt will tremble at His presence, And the heart of the Egyptians will melt within them.
(2) "So I will incite Egyptians against Egyptians; And they will each fight against his brother and each against his neighbor, City against city and kingdom against kingdom.
(3) "Then the spirit of the Egyptians will be demoralized within them; And I will confound their strategy, So that they will resort to idols and ghosts of the dead And to mediums and spiritists.
(4) "Moreover, I will deliver the Egyptians into the hand of a cruel master, And a mighty king will rule over them," declares the Lord GOD of hosts.
(5) The waters from the sea will dry up, And the river will be parched and dry.
(6) The canals will emit a stench, The streams of Egypt will thin out and dry up; The reeds and rushes will rot away.
(7) The bulrushes by the Nile, by the edge of the Nile And all the sown fields by the Nile Will become dry, be driven away, and be no more.
(8) And the fishermen will lament, And all those who cast a line into the Nile will mourn, And those who spread nets on the waters will pine away.
(9) Moreover, the manufacturers of linen made from combed flax And the weavers of white cloth will be utterly dejected.
(10) And the pillars of Egypt will be crushed; All the hired laborers will be grieved in soul.
(11) The princes of Zoan are mere fools; The advice of Pharaoh's wisest advisers has become stupid. How can you men say to Pharaoh, "I am a son of the wise, a son of ancient kings"?
(12) Well then, where are your wise men? Please let them tell you, And let them understand what the LORD of hosts Has purposed against Egypt.
(13) The princes of Zoan have acted foolishly, The princes of Memphis are deluded; Those who are the cornerstone of her tribes Have led Egypt astray.
(14) The LORD has mixed within her a spirit of distortion; They have led Egypt astray in all that it does, As a drunken man staggers in his vomit.
(15) There will be no work for Egypt Which its head or tail, its palm branch or bulrush, may do.
(16) In that day the Egyptians will become like women, and they will tremble and be in dread because of the waving of the hand of the LORD of hosts, which He is going to wave over them.
(17) The land of Judah will become a terror to Egypt; everyone to whom it is mentioned will be in dread of it, because of the purpose of the LORD of hosts which He is purposing against them.
(18) In that day five cities in the land of Egypt will be speaking the language of Canaan and swearing allegiance to the LORD of hosts; one will be called the City of Destruction.
(19) In that day there will be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the LORD near its border.

(20) It will become a sign and a witness to the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they will cry to the LORD because of oppressors, and He will send them a Savior and a Champion, and He will deliver them.

(21) Thus the LORD will make Himself known to Egypt, and the Egyptians will know the LORD in that day. They will even worship with sacrifice and offering, and will make a vow to the LORD and perform it.

(22) The LORD will strike Egypt, striking but healing; so they will return to the LORD, and He will respond to them and will heal them.

(23) In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrians will come into Egypt and the Egyptians into Assyria, and the Egyptians will worship with the Assyrians.

(24) In that day Israel will be the third party with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth,

(25) whom the LORD of hosts has blessed, saying, "Blessed is Egypt My people, and Assyria the work of My hands, and Israel My inheritance."
