Wrath of man

[76:10] Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain.
[11] Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God: let all that be round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.
The ebb and flow of these psalms seem to be centered on Egypt and its contention with Israel. The wrath of the enemy would soon be turned into a peace initiative. Anwar Sadat, hater of the Jews, would soon come to Jerusalem to speak to the Israeli Knesset. Wrath will be turned into praise.
The entire scenario is predicted in Isaiah 19:21. ‘Egypt shall vow a vow unto L-rd and perform it.’ It compares perfectly with these psalms. In the opening verses Isaiah predicts the political climate in Egypt beginning in 1948, the year Israel was born. In fact, all prophecies of end time events are centered around the birth of Israel. Note the failure of King Farouk and the resulting civil war in Isaiah’s account of verses 2-4: ‘And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbor.’
Gamal Abdel Nasser took power according to verse 4: ‘And the Egyptians will I give into the hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them.’
The foolish adventure of building the Aswan Dam and its resulting problematic effects on the Nile are recorded in verses 5-8: ‘And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and dried up. And they shall turn the rivers far away.
The Six Day War is described in Isaiah 19:16-18: ‘In that day shall Egypt be like unto women: and it shall be afraid and fear because of the shaking of the hand of the G-d of hosts, which he shaketh over it. And the land of Judah shall be a terror unto Egypt,…In that day shall five cities in the land of Egypt speak the language of Canaan, and swear to the G-d of host; and shall be called, The city of destruction.’ Al Arish (city of destruction) was among five cities in the Sinai desert captured and held by the Israelis until the territory was returned under the terms of the peace treaty. The language of Hebrew was spoken in those Egyptian cities from 1973 to 1982.
Anwar Sadat appears to have been the subject of Isaiah 19: 19-21;….’he shall send them a savior, and a great one, and he shall deliver them. The peace treaty is predicted:…the Egyptians shall …vow a vow unto the L-rd, and perform it.’ Sadat’s death was implied in verse 21:…’the Egyptians …shall do sacrifice and oblation.’ Even the tomb of the unknown Warrior (where Sadat was buried) appears in verse 19: ‘In that day shall there be and altar to the L-rd in the midst of the land of Egypt.’ Sadat, the saviour was sacrificed at the altar…in the mist of …Egypt. Furthermore, the highway predicted in verse 23 was made a part of the provisions of the peace treaty between Egypt and Israel. ‘In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria…’ One can now travel by bus from Israel to Egypt.
Step-by-step predictions of events are give in Isaiah 19. But just as amazing are the predictions in the Psalms concerning Egypt as President Anwar Sadat contemplated the possibility of making peace with Israel. Even Talmudic scholars say that Psalms 75 speaks of the final days of Jewish exile and that Psalm 76 continues that theme and describes the War of Gog and Magog ‘which will be waged at the end of the exile. One can be certain that 1976 places us within that time frame – the end of Israel’s exile and the upcoming War of Gog and Magog. That final war has not yet come, but it will. The ebb and flow of these psalms predict it.
Also, there is a rabbinical prediction that the War of Gog and Magog is destined to take place in the month of Tishri (September/October) in conjunction with the Feast of Tabernacles. Therefore, Psalm 76 is designated as the Song of the Day for the first day the Feast of Tabernacles.
[12] He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to the kings of the earth.
In December, 1976, Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, perhaps the most qualified and brilliant of all Israeli prime ministers to date, was forced to resign due to financial mismanagement. He was the first since King David to master both military and diplomatic portfolios. The Egyptian-Israeli peace initiative took place under Begin’s administration.
