Just as Israel suffered bondage in Egypt, and later on was subjected by Assyria, so God’s end-time people experience a similar bondage. Their political leaders take them over and lord it over them as did the Egyptians and Assyrians. End-time “Assyria’s” world conquest perpetuates this bondage, so that from the time God’s end-time people apostatize, they begin suffering the curse of being subject to enemies.
Isaiah 52:4–5Thus says my Lord Jehovah: At first my people went down to Egypt to sojourn there. Then the Assyrians subjected them for nothing. And now, what have I here? says Jehovah. My people are taken over without price; those who govern them act presumptuously, says Jehovah, and my name is constantly abused all the day.
Isaiah 10:1–2Woe to those who enact unjust laws, who draft oppressive legislation — denying justice to the needy, depriving the poor of my people of their right, making plunder of widows, mere spoil of the fatherless!
Isaiah 3:14–15It is you who have devoured the vineyard; you fill your houses by depriving the needy. What do you mean by oppressing my people, humbling the faces of the poor? says Jehovah of Hosts.
Isaiah 59:15–16When integrity is lacking, they who shun evil become a prey. Jehovah saw that there was no justice, and it displeased him. When he saw it, he wondered why there was no man, no one who would intercede.
