How does the host introduce Day 200 and the Bible in a Year mission?
Hey everyone, before we get started today, I want to let you know the Bible in a Year has brought the Word of God to so many people. As you know, you're part of this community, changing lives in so many incredible ways. We're humbled to play this role in God's plan and consider it our ongoing mission to keep bringing the Word of God to as many people as possible. So what I'm saying is the end of this year is not going to be the end of Bible in a Year. So far, Ascension has been able to add the podcast to YouTube. You might have found it that way. Maybe you're watching right now on YouTube. And also, we're working on translating it into different languages so you could have the Bible in a year in other languages than English.
But, of course, this takes a significant investment to bring projects like these free of cost to our listening communities. And we want to keep them free of cost to all those people who participate because we want to get the Word of God out there. And because of that, we have to rely on generous contributions from listeners like you to help defray these costs and to enable us to continually provide new audiences with this life-changing content. So if you would like to help support the Bible in a Year mission, you can go to ascensionpress.com support. That's ascensionpress.com support. Hi, my name is Father Mike Schmitz, and you're listening to the Bible in a Year podcast, where we encounter God's voice and live life through the lens of Scripture.
The Bible in a Year podcast is brought to you by Ascension. Using the Great Adventure Bible timeline, we'll read all the way from Genesis to Revelation, discovering how the story of salvation unfolds and how we fit into that story today.
What reading plan and translations are announced for today’s scriptures?
It is day 200. Sound the alarm, you guys. That's awesome. Day 200. You know what that means. There's 165 more days to go, which you're on the downward slope in a massive way. Also, 200. There should be a celebration.
What is the content and historical context of Isaiah 18’s oracle about Ethiopia?
You should get an award, some kind of certificate that just indicates your accomplishment in just being faithful to the Lord who's so faithful to you. These first 200 days probably have not been perfect. That's awesome. That's good because that's how it's supposed to be, right? We are not. We are not perfect people. We just are called to be faithful to the Lord. When we fall down, we ask him to pick us back up. When we stop, we ask him to help us start again. And here you have done it. It's for 200 times you have pressed play and have let the Lord speak to you. Today is no different.
How does Isaiah 19 portray God’s judgment and redemption for Egypt?
Today on day 200, we are reading Isaiah chapter 18, 19, and 20. We're also reading the prophet Nahum or Nahum. chapters 1 and 2. We're also reading Proverbs 10, verses 25 to 28. As always, the Bible translation that I am reading from is the Revised Standard Version, Second Catholic Edition. I'm using the Great Adventure Bible from Ascension.

Why does Isaiah 19 declare ‘Blessed be Egypt, Assyria, and Israel’ and what does it mean?
But as I said, It is day one, not 100. We left that. That was yesterday. That is not today. It is day 200. And we are reading Isaiah 18, 19, and 20, Nehum, or the prophet Nahum, 1 and 2, and Proverbs 10, verses 25 through 28. The book of the prophet Isaiah, chapter 18. Ah, land of whirring wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia, which sends ambassadors by the Nile in vessels of papyrus upon the waters. Go, you swift messengers, to a nation tall and smooth, to a people feared near and far, a nation mighty and conquering, whose land the rivers divide. all you inhabitants of the world you who dwell on the earth when a signal is raised on the mountains look when a trumpet is blown hear for thus the lord said to me i will quietly look from my dwelling like clear heat in sunshine like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest
For before the harvest, when the blossom is over and the flower becomes a ripening grape, he will cut off the shoots with pruning hooks and the spreading branches he will hew away.
