JOSEPH, MARY, JESUS IN EGYPT

• Originally mono-thestic, the nation turned to idols of every creature imaginable, and still is idolatrous today, and dark

• This fight among the pharaohs was fulfilled during the life of Isaiah, causing the founding of the cities Thebes, Karnak, Memphis, etc.
• The failure of the leaders in the political and military realm

• Their leaders were considered gods, but were reduced to babbling fools with no wisdom
• Divination, magic and spiritism were rampant, more so when people could not get answers from men directly

• Ottoman Empire, conquered Egypt for a time
• Psammetichus, pharaoh at this time, was

THE ASWAN DAM PROPHECY, 2,700 YEARS OLD

• Zoan, northeast corner, also called "Tanis" in history
• The "Lost City of Tanis" was in the movie "The Raiders of the Lost Ark"
• The Aswan Dam Project of the 60s fulfilled this to a "tee"
• The Nile used to flood.......that was stopped
• Nutrients were no longer carried to the seacost, so the fishing industry died as well
• The water is also less oxygenated, leading to death of any riverine creature intolerant of an anaerobic environment
• Crops which relied on the flooding for silt/nutrients failed
• The delta was no longer building up, bringing in nutrients
• Certain snails (bilharzia) were traditionally washed away in the floods. Now they stayed, multiplied and ate the reeds (boats) and flax (clothing) and all other main crops
• In addition, the snails carry a nasty parasite which transmits schistosomiasis, painfully cruel and deadly
• Without the flow, salt has increased, adding further failure to the crops
• FISHING, FARMING, CLOTHING, BUILDING INDUSTRIES-GONE!
• God mocks the engineers, counselors, advisors, designers and builders for all of this, many of whom came from Russia
• Much if not all of this disaster is outlined in a Congressional report, S3448

• As smart as the engineers were, apparently not one of them predicted the disaster that came from the building of the Aswan Dam

• Professing themselves to be wise, they become fools

• This is a major oops, the Aswan Dam Project

• The economy of Egypt has been destroyed

• The men and all of them in the country will be terrified at seeing the LORD work
• The Six Days War was an example of this, with Israel

• Yom Kippur War...........this did happen to them
• Israel was ready to clean their clocks, surrounding them, before the U.S. (Nixon, Kissinger) stepped in and forced a peace agreement

• There is an upper and lower Egypt, separated by Giza (Arabic for "border")
• The Great Pyramid sits there

• Some or many pyramids have to have been built by Jews, in many cases, in their captivity
• The Great Pyramid is not a tomb, it is for astronomy/astrology, etc.
• A fiftieth of an inch precision over hundreds of feet, impossible
• Exactly North, South, East, West alignment
• Level: To within one inch over thirteen acres
• Some stones are fifty tons each, most two to thirty
• There are fifty four references to Pi in the Great Pyramid
• The mortar is of unknown origin, known chemistry but cannot be duplicated, is stronger than the stones, and is still intact today
• Aligned true north,
• The descending passage was aligned precisely with the north star at one time, the southern passage with Orion (assoc. with Osiris their god)
• Both this and Stonehenge are thought by some to be built by Shem

• This has to be the Millennial Kingdom
• Salvation has come to Egypt

• In order fore revival to happen, there nearly always needs to be judgment and humbling

• Who they shall serve is the LORD, during the Millennium!

• This again has to be the Millennial Kingdom
• Being a third with God's chosen people Israel means something special

• Imagine this in the Millennium!
• This will be for a thousand years!
