Is that what God inspired Isaiah to write??? Yes??? Well of course I believe it then...
What motive do you have for not believing God???
If God said he'll show up on a magic carpet sportin' a full blown 427 Chevy power plant, I'd believe that as well...
Maybe it's the company you keep...There's lots of folks in the scripture account who didn't believe God/Jesus and what did Jesus say about them???
Mat 15:14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
Take the blinders off...Start believing God...

PERHAPS by some fantasmagorical set of FANTASY FATES OF CONTRARIAN PRETERISM
The pooooooor limited Preterists have been limited to seeing Cecil B D'Mille's THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
. . .
in braille.
What should we call it . . . DE MILLE DISADVANTAGED PRETERISM?
or
CLOUDLESS REPLACEMENTARIANISM with OVER THE RAINBOW as it's principle doctrinal hymn?
WHY, WHY, WHY O WHY
Is it so terminally impossible to take God at His word with (A) even a shred of Holy Spirit wisdom and discernment; (B) a shred of horse sense--a stable mind being an asset in such undertakings; and (C) some measure of flowing with the whole of Scripture as well as the whole of the contextS--the context of the vers; the context in the whole of Scripture of the topic, issue and the context of all that in history past as well as prophetic 'history' future--is that really something only Dispies are up to?
Do you think God literally hopped on a cloud and rode down to Egypt and kicked over their idols?Is that what God inspired Isaiah to write??? Yes??? Well of course I believe it then...

So none of the prophets, nobody who wrote the inspired scriptures, ever used metaphor or simile? The scriptural text is "flat".
“Take the blinders off...Start believing God...”
So when Jesus said He was the “Bread of Life,” should we take that to mean He’s a loaf of bread?
The problem with dispensationalism is that it doesn’t allow Scripture to interpret Scripture. Therefore, there is no standard basis for how to understand Scripture and as a result it often takes literally the apocalyptic hyperbole and metaphors and then spiritualizes the literal.
As far as Isaiah 19 and your belief that God literally rode a cloud down to Egypt to show His wrath, the fact is that Isaiah 20 shows that God actually used the Assyrians to show His wrath against Egypt.
