Isaiah 19:20

Champion

02/09/2024

Have you read the book of Isaiah or perhaps some of the following of Isaiah’s prophecies of the coming Messiah and how he describes Jesus?  With which of the following are you familiar?

Isaiah 7:14, “Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.”

Isaiah 9:6, “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”

What about Isaiah 19:20? Have you read this verse which describes Jesus as a Champion? “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.” The word “Champion” in this verse is from the Hebrew word “raḇ” and means “Mighty One.”

Yes, Isaiah describes the Lord as not only Immanuel, Wonderful Counselor, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace, and Savior, but also as Champion, the Mighty One. Are you in a battle and need a win? Are you aware of someone else who is struggling and needs victory in their life?  Will you call on the Lord, the Champion for those needs?

LORD, You are Savior and CHAMPION, the only One who can save and deliver us. We look to You in praise and awe.

Savior and Champion

02/07/2022

Have you ever given your best effort at something, but failed? On the other hand, have you ever experienced great success? It’s normal to want to win.  In keeping with that, Isaiah 19:20  has encouraging news for Christians.

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.

Jesus is the proclaimed Savior and Champion not only for the Jews but for all who call on Him for salvation. If you’ve repented of sin and confessed Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you will be one of the myriads in heaven and during the Millennial Kingdom on earth following the Great Tribulation. Yes, we are returning from heaven with Christ to earth at the end of the 7 year Great Tribulation. We are with Christ when He takes over the world and rules from Jerusalem. Don’t think for a minute that our national or world situation is under the ultimate control of anyone but Christ.

LORD, You are the CHAMPION over all. We can’t wait to see the witness of the display of Your glory and reign. We love You.
