Isa. xix. 1. “Behold, the Lord
rideth upon a swift cloud, and cometh unto Egypt: and the idols
of Egypt shall be moved at His presence.” The prophecy was
supposed by many of the Fathers to have been fulfilled by the flight
into Egypt. Cf. Athanas. (Ep. LXI. ad
Maximum, § 4): “As a child He came down to Egypt,
and brought to nought its idols made with hands:” and
(de Incarn. § 36): “Which of the
righteous men or kings went down into Egypt, so that at his coming the
idols of Egypt fell?” On the passage of Isaiah see
Delitzsch, and Kay (Speaker’s Commentary).
