A Biblilcal look at what is happening in Egypt

Any political or military event in the Middle East is of interest to those who study Bible prophecy. Whenever there is activity in the region the question always is asked, "How does this fit into the grand scheme of end-time events?" The current situation in Egypt is no different.

There is no Bible prophecy that talks about what is happening now in Egypt, but what is happening now could be setting the stage for a prophecy concerning Egypt that will one day be fulfilled.

Daniel 11:42-43 tells us that in the last days Egypt will be taken over by the Antichrist. The growing political instability in the nation could be preparing it for a day in which it will be taken over by an outside power, the Antichrist. The possibility of an outside nation taking control of Egypt seemed unlikely to the natural mind due to the long, authoritarian rule of Hosni Mubarak. An unsettled future, or weaker leader makes the inevitable takeover of Egypt very possible.
