Pathros

But Jeremiah 44:15 through 19, right? And I'm reading it from the Amplified.

It says, "Then all the men who knew what the, wh- who knew that their wives were burning sacrifices to other gods, and all the women who were standing by, a large gl- group, including all the people who were living in Pathros in the land of Egypt, answered Jeremiah saying, 'As for the word, message that you have spoken to us in the name of the Lord, we are not going to listen to you.

But rather we will certainly perform every word of the vows we have made to burn sacrifices to the Queen of Heaven.'" And in parentheses in the Amplified, it says, "Ishtar", which is a name, a form of the manifestation of the Queen of Heaven, and then they say, "And to pour out drink offerings to her." Now, we could keep reading the rest of that scripture, but I'll just stop there.

And so, uh, when the Lord started turning to these, another one was Jeremiah 7:18, another one was Isaiah 47, another one was the Book of Revelation 17, 18, and 19.

All these dwell by the river Sihor, that is the brook of Egypt, and they built themselves cities and called them after their own names.

And the children of Pathros and Casluc intermarried together, and from them went forth the Pelishtim, the Azathim, and the Gerarim, the Gethim, and the Ekronim, in all five families.

These also built themselves cities, and they called their cities after the names of their fathers unto this day.

And the children of Canaan also built themselves cities, and they called their cities after their names, eleven cities and others without number.

In that day the root of Jesse, who shall stand as a signal for the peoples— of him shall the nations inquire, and his resting place shall be glorious.

In that day the Lord will extend his hand yet a second time to recover the remnant that remains of his people, from Assyria, from Egypt, from Pathros, from Cush, from Elam, from Shinar, from Hamath, and from the coastlands of the sea.

He will raise a signal for the nations and will assemble the banished of Israel, and gather the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.

The jealousy of Ephraim shall depart, and those who harass Judah shall be cut off; Ephraim shall not be jealous of Judah, and Judah shall not harass Ephraim.

There shall no longer be a prince from the land of Egypt, so I will put fear in the land of Egypt.

I will make Pathros a desolation and will set fire to Zoan and will execute judgments on Thebes, and I will pour out my wrath on Pelusium, the stronghold of Egypt, and cut off the multitudes of Thebes, and I will set fire to Egypt.

Pelusium shall be in great agony, Thebes shall be breached, and Memphis shall face enemies by day.

The young men of On and of Pi-Beseth shall fall by the sword, and the women shall go into captivity.

I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them through their countries.

For thus says the Lord God, at the end of 40 years, I will gather the Egyptians from the peoples among whom they were scattered, and I will restore the fortunes of Egypt and bring them back to the land of Pathros, the land of their origin and where they shall be a lowly kingdom.

It shall be the most lowly of the kingdoms and never again exalt itself above the nations.

And I will make them so small that they will never again rule over the nations.

The aligned army was so vast that the space it covered as it stood in rank and file was equal to a three days' journey.

It formed in battle array in the valley of Pathros, and it was met by 300,000 Egyptians and 150 Ishmaelites from Goshen.

But the Egyptians did not trust the Ishmaelites.

They feared their defection to the sons of Esau and Ishmael.

So I will put fear in the land of Egypt.

I will make Pathros a desolation, and will set fire to Zoan, and will execute judgments on Thebes.

And I will pour out my wrath on Pelusium, the stronghold of Egypt, and cut off the multitude of Thebes.

And I will set fire to Egypt.
