Egypt Fulfilling Bible Prophecy

The people of Egypt have been taking to the streets in mass demonstrations, apparently inspired by similar protests in Tunisia that resulted in the overthrow of their government. Demonstrations of this sort are rare in Egypt, because of tight government control. But apparently this is more than just peaceful demonstrations. Large numbers of people have for years had to deal with poverty, corruption, and unemployment. Now, with just a little moral (and physical) support, they are brave enough to make their voice heard. And they've been suffering for so long that they feel they have nothing to lose. That makes the most dangerous kind of protests. When people have nothing to lose, they'll go to any length to get what they want.

I believe the turmoil in Egypt we have seen this past week was witnessed by the prophet Isaiah over 2700 years ago. Isaiah (19: 1) says,"The burden against Egypt: Behold, the LORD rides on a swift cloud, and will come into Egypt; the idols of Egypt will totter at His presence, and the heart of Egypt will melt in its midst. (2.) I will set Egyptians against Egyptians; everyone will fight against his brother, and everyone against his neighbor, city against city, kingdom against kingdom. (3.) The spirit of Egypt will fail in its midst; I will destroy their counsel, and they will consult the idols and the charmers, the mediums and the sorcerers."

And according to Isaiah, it isn't over yet. In fact, it's about to get much worse. If the Bible says it, it is sure to happen. Sooner or later. (4.) "And the Egyptians I will give into the hand of a cruel master, and a fierce king will rule over them, says the Lord, the LORD of Hosts."

Reading on down into verse 19, we find that this will eventually result in war with Israel, and Israel will occupy 5 cities of Egypt.

This all plays a part in the plan for a New World Order. The shadowy figures behind the scenes plan for things like this years in advance. You may wonder how in the world they can make entire nations do just exactly what they want, but you need to understand that human beings are very predictable creatures. This elite group that wants to rule the world has studied human behavior for centuries, and really developed it into a science like electricity. There is a predictable cause and effect.

Pray for the Christians in Egypt.

Look up, for your redemption draweth nigh!
