Isaiah 19:18 meaning

An explanation of Isaiah 19:18

In a profound prophetic vision, Scripture reveals a time when the Egyptians will undergo a significant transformation, embracing the worship of Yahweh. This transformation is illustrated with the specific mention of five Egyptian cities that will adopt Hebrew, reflecting a deep commitment to both the Jewish people and their God. The prophecy accentuates that in these cities, the prevailing language will no longer be idolatrous but will resonate with the sacred language of God's chosen people. The term "City of Destruction" may symbolize either the imminent devastation to befall Egypt or poetically refer to "the City of the Sun," connecting to Heliopolis, known for its past idolatry.
