Learn from history or be doomed to repeat it.

Concerning current events, it's a safe bet that the eyes of the world are on Egypt. While I do not claim to be a Prophecy Expert, like most Christians I do know that there are hundreds of prophecies in the Bible. Many have already been fulfilled such as, Daniel prophesying the coming of the Medo-Persian, Greek, and Roman empires, Alexander the Great, and the details of many military battles. Ancient writings also prophesied that the people of Israel would be scattered to all the nations of the world and be persecuted, but one day return to their own land,( which we saw come true on May 14, 1948 when the world recognized the modern state of Israel). Then, of course, we have all the prophecies in the Old Testament concerning the Messiah Who would come, while the New Testament shows how Jesus (Yeshua --[ yeah-SHOO-ah]) fulfilled all of these prophecies. So, it is fair to say that God has a pretty good track record of fulfilling prophecies, don't you think? Okay, back to Egypt - from a human standpoint, I may sympathize with the protesters demanding their freedom (which, of course, harkens back to our own American Revolution). That said, I have seen, posted online, a CNN taped interview with several of the protesters on the streets of Cairo. Amid the hysteria there is loud and definite anti-Israel hatred. Some of the people say that once they - the protesters - "are free" and the country settles down "we will be able to destroy Israel". However, in the 19th chapter of Isaiah, God seems to have other plans. God said: 2 “I will stir up Egyptian against Egyptian— brother will fight against brother". Planning to "destroy Israel"? God says : "I will bring their plans to nothing". As far as God's plans for Egypt: 14 "The LORD has poured into them a spirit of dizziness; 15 There is nothing Egypt can do, they will shudder with fear at the uplifted hand that the LORD Almighty raises against them." And, as far as Egypt "destroying Israel" God seems to have the opposite in mind: "And the land of Judah will bring terror to the Egyptians; everyone to whom Judah is mentioned will be terrified, because of what the LORD Almighty is planning against them."vs. 17. I don't know what you're thinking right now, but It might actually be helpful for the Egyptian protesters to study the Exodus and the plagues that God sent upon their ancestors. Don't get me wrong, I don't want anyone to suffer and live under a dictator and I want everyone to have the basic freedoms they should have. But when you say you want to be free so that you will then be able to 'destroy Israel', it kind of feels like the keepers of the pyramids have dug in this sand before, doesn't it? Well, they say history repeats itself. .....Anyway, Shalom !
