Isaiah 19 is future fulfillment.
Revelation talks about people out of all nations, including Egypt.
Revelation also talks about the city that is in a spiritual sense called Sodom and Egypt.
How did JWs arrive at a clearer understanding of what the Bible teaches than other Christian denominations?

Watchtower apologetics, Alt Right pundits, medical misinformation and conspiracy theorists.
It is sad what this board has become.
( or maybe I didn't actually say that, it is just a conspiracy ).

FreetheMasons...So you read a 2500-year-old prophecy that says Yahweh would punish Egypt and dry up the Nile, until they turn to him and worship him, Assyria as well. And since it had no fulfillment, feel free to interpret this prophecy as metaphor? How is that different from Christians who did the same about 2000-year-old prophecies of the return of Jesus?

Replacing poor Exegesis with Eisegesis is as far from a "clearer understanding" as it is possible to be.

acqsed12345: "A prime example is the rendering of John 1:1 in the NWT as "the Word was a god," rather than "the Word was God." This translation violates standard Greek grammar and has been rejected by mainstream biblical scholars across various denominations."
Although I don't conceive the following statement as a factual one ("[The translation "a god" -Joh1.1] violates standard Greek grammar") it would be helpful to your perceptive audience if you are able to support your conviction with biblical examples, rather than simply accepting the interpretation of "mainstream scholars" as evidence.
Could you that for us?
