There isn't a stress in these prophecies, as far as I know, on continuity with a blood-line or progenitor — making them a stark contrast, for instance, with the prophecies concerning Israel.DJPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16471042180904855578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9313009.post-15639726850117228612011-02-03T00:30:49.369-06:002011-02-03T00:30:49.369-06:00Are the promises given to Egypt in Isa 19, given t...Are the promises given to Egypt in Isa 19, given to the people of the Geo-political nation that exists at that future time or to the literal blood descendants of the Egyptians at the time of Isiah's writing?

(Oh, sorry, he <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31467080/ns/world_news-mideast/n_africa/" rel="nofollow">urged them to show restraint</a> in their killing of the protesters. How silly of me to forget such a bold statement.)<br /><br />Remember the time when radical Islamic forces fomented revolt in a moderate muslim country (an ally of Israel, no less), seeking to turn it into Iran West, and the leader of the free world said yeah, we should <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/us/Its-time-to-leave-Obama-to-Mubarak/articleshow/7416125.cms" rel="nofollow">give them what they want</a>?<br /><br />Elections have consequences, folks.trogdorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11452996348717802065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9313009.post-87618282567568245152011-02-02T16:47:33.049-06:002011-02-02T16:47:33.049-06:00I remember, not too long ago, when the rapture was...I remember, not too long ago, when the rapture was the best explanation for America’s absence in end time accounts.

Hokey smokes!"<br /><br />To America in prophecy: who knows? It's all speculation. There could be a revival sweeping the country, leaving it in a nasty lurch after the Rapture. Or Obama-thinking could prevail in reducing it to a debt-pulverized, afraid-of-its-shadow, decimated fifth-rate power, so dependent on foreign oil as not even to be a player when the final dice start rolling.DJPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16471042180904855578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9313009.post-73993716817013755562011-02-02T16:07:07.219-06:002011-02-02T16:07:07.219-06:00Yes, it's interesting that the Bible does say ...Yes, it's interesting that the Bible does say some good things about Egypt ultimately, in the Kingdom age. Of course, as Fred said, we don't yet know the details as to whether this particular situation will directly relate to the situation at the end-time. Yet it does fit in with the "stage-setting" of all the players, the Middle-East countries that hate Israel.<br /><br />In my more immediate world... how do we answer those who say, "just because the Bible doesn't mention America, that doesn't mean that it won't exist and won't play a part."? I answer that it probably means that the U.S. will not be a world leader or influencer, just another non-descript country of no importance at that point in time. But the same person who says the above to me, also declares that we who believe all this (regarding the literal future importance of Israel and the significance of the Middle East in Bible prophecy) are into some cult that worships Israel instead of God -- and does not listen when I try to explain what it is we believe. Amazing that some people, who profess Christ, are so blinded in their Church Replacement ideas, that we who think differently are said to be in a cult that worships Israel.Lynda Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01755739519555633760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9313009.post-72035251388473901872011-02-02T15:41:37.007-06:002011-02-02T15:41:37.007-06:00"...and a pillar to the LORD at its border. 2..."...and a pillar to the LORD at its border. 20 It will be a sign and a witness to the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt.
