Egypt's Crisis Unfolds

It seems that the demonstrators amassed to celebrate Mubarak's resignation, though it may not be as free a governement as the people's want.  In Is. 19:2, Yahweh states that He will incite Egyptian against Egyptian. and that they will fight one another.  We have seen this take place in fulfillment of God's word.  It goes on to say that they will be placed under the hand of cruel masters, and a strong king will rule over them (hcsb).  The military has seized control of Egypt, supposedly until elections can be set in place.  We're going to see how this plays out, and if this is indeed the sceneraio that Isiah 19 is speaking of, and I believe it is, then the Muslim Brotherhood would be a good candidate for seizing control, in fulfillment of scriptures (Is. 19:4).

But another interesting development is taking place, with Iran sending military ships down the Suez canal to gain a presence in the Meditteranean offshore of Israel.  That's not too scary.  Especially since they want to wipe Israel off the face of the earth! 


Isaiah 19 goes on to speak of the drying up of the "sea," "the streams" and "the Nile."  Could this action of an Iranian controlled military using the Suez and other water sources in Egypt be a factor in the drying up of Egypts's waterways? 

Let's pray for the inhabitants of Eygpt, and most of all, that they will receive the true deliverer, as Isaiah 19:16-25 declares.
