Explanation of 1 Kings 3:1

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 1. Celestial good when established as the governing principle in the mind flows freely into the natural man, and is there conjoined to the affection of sciences, through which the doctrine of Divine Truth is cultivated, with a view to the establishment of the spiritual, celestial, and natural degrees of the mind, the latter being the receptacle and defence of superior things.

Isaiah 19:18-21

Study

      

18 In that day, there will be five cities in the land of Egypt that speak the language of Canaan, and swear to Yahweh of Armies. One will be called "The city of destruction."

19 In that day, there will be an altar to Yahweh in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to Yahweh at its border.

20 It will be for a sign and for a witness to Yahweh of Armies in the land of Egypt; for they will cry to Yahweh because of oppressors, and he will send them a savior and a defender, and he will deliver them.

21 Yahweh will be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians will know Yahweh in that day. Yes, they will worship with sacrifice and offering, and will vow a vow to Yahweh, and will perform it.
