[ "Did the Egyptians ever worship Yahweh with sacrifices and offerings Isaiah 19 v18-21]
Isa 19:18-21
In that day five cities in the land of Egypt shall speak the language of Canaan and swear to Jehovah of Hosts; one shall be called the City of Ruin.
In that day there shall be an altar to Jehovah in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at its border to Jehovah.
And it shall be for a sign and for a witness to Jehovah of Hosts in the land of Egypt. For they shall cry to Jehovah because of the oppressors, and He shall send them a deliverer, and a great one, and will deliver them.
And Jehovah shall be known to Egypt, and Egypt shall know Jehovah in that day, and shall offer sacrifice and offering; and vow a vow to Jehovah, and repay.
[Note: The version quoted here is the Modern King James which uses a transliteration of 'Jehovah' (or 'Yahweh) for the Tetragrammaton of the 4 Hebrew consonants for 'God' 'YHVH' (or YHWH) . The names are synonymous.]
The short answer to the question is "No".
However, that is easy to say: how do you reach that conclusion? What is the
For any Biblical question you must do 2 things:-
-Take The Bible literally; (if you don't , you can make it mean whatever you like, but you won't know what it reallymeans.)
-Put everything in the right context (What? When? Where? Why? Who? How? )
In this particular example, the most important question is : 'When?'
Isa 19:18 In that day .....
Isa 19:19 In that day ....
Isa 19:21 ... in that day....
So, the Egyptians sacrifice to God 'in that day', but when is that? You must go back to when 'in that day' was first mentioned to get things in the right context. [God is outside time (He made it and controls it) so what is past/present/future to us has already happened from God's viewpoint. ]
Since the chapter and verse divisions were put in by man (not God), this search may mean going to previous chapters . In this case, you must go all the way back to Chapter 11 (yes, eleven.)
This is referring to the Messiah:-
Isa 11:1 And a Shoot goes out from the stump of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots.
Isa 11:2 And the Spirit of Jehovah shall rest on Him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Jehovah.
Isa 11:3 And He is made to breathe in the fear of Jehovah. And He shall not judge according to the sight of His eyes, nor decide by the hearing of His ears.
Isa 11:4[1st half] But with righteousness He shall judge the poor, and shall decide with uprightness for the meek of the earth.
This has not happened completely yet - it is yet future:-
Isa 11:4[2nd half] And He shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth, and with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked.
Isa 11:5 And righteousness shall be the girdle of His loins, and faithfulness the girdle of His heart.
This is yet future, with previously-hunter/prey being at peace with one another , their nature and behaviour changed:-
-Isa 11:6 Also the wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the cub lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.
Isa 11:7 And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
Isa 11:8 And the suckling child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the adder's den.
Isa 11:9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain; for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of Jehovah, as the waters cover the sea.
The first mention in this of 'in that day' :-
Isa 11:10 And in that day there shall be the Root of Jesse standing for a banner of the people; to Him the nations shall seek; and His resting place shall be glorious.
Isa 11:11 And it shall be in that day, the Lord shall again set His hand, the second time, to recover the remnant of His people that remains, from Assyria and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Ethiopia, and from Persia, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the coasts of the sea.
Isa 11:12 And He shall lift up a banner for the nations, and shall gather the outcasts of Israel and gather together the scattered ones of Judah from the four corners of the earth.
This part in v11-12 is pivotal: this second regathering of the Jews to the land of Israel is happening right now today, so the period 'in that day' is imminent. The first regathering of Israel to her land was from Egyptian captivity, and the second will be from her world-wide dispersion: it is NOT figurative.
Isa 12:1 And in that day ....
Isa 12:4 And in that day....
(Note that whenever the term 'the day of the Lord/Jehovah' is used [eg Isaiah 13:6, 9 etc], it also refers to the same time as 'in that day'.It won't affect the answer to the question because it is the same time, but it's good to know. )
Isa 13:6 Howl! For the day of Jehovah is at hand.....
Isa 13:9 Behold, the day of Jehovah ....
[Chapter 14 is both Messianic and also past before the creation of Man:-]
Isa 14:3 And it shall be in the day that Jehovah shall give you rest from your sorrow, and from your fear, and from the hard bondage which was pressed on you,
(This chapter 14 includes the judgment on Assyria and Philistia.)
(Chapter 15 and 16 are the judgment on Moab).
Isa 17:4 ... in that day, ....
Isa 17:7 In that day
Isa 17:9 In that day ....
Isa 17:11 ... in that day ...I
Isa 18:7 In that time...(It is not 'in that day' but if taken in context it is referring to the same time ).
Isa 19:16 In that day ...
Isa 19:18 In that day five cities in the land of Egypt shall speak the language of Canaan and swear to Jehovah of Hosts; one shall be called the City of Ruin.
Isa 19:19 In that day there shall be an altar to Jehovah in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at its border to Jehovah.
Isa 19:20 And it shall be for a sign and for a witness to Jehovah of Hosts in the land of Egypt. For they shall cry to Jehovah because of the oppressors, and He shall send them a deliverer, and a great one, and will deliver them.
Isa 19:21 And Jehovah shall be known to Egypt, and Egypt shall know Jehovah in that day, and shall offer sacrifice and offering; and vow a vow to Jehovah, and repay. Isa 19:22 And Jehovah shall strike Egypt; He shall strike and heal; and they shall return to Jehovah, and He shall hear them and shall heal them.
Isa 19:23 In that day there shall be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and Assyria shall come into Egypt, and Egypt into Assyria, and Egypt shall serve with Assyria.
Isa 19:24 In that day Israel shall be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the land;
Isa 19:25 whom Jehovah of Hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be My people Egypt, and Assyria the work of My hands, and Israel My inheritance.
Individual Egyptians have accepted the Messiah, but not the country of Egypt.
The longer answer is that these verses are messianic and refer to a time period just ahead of us - it does not refer to an ephemeral spiritual world or whatever in heaven.
