| Egyptian Armor in the Sinai |
13 July 2025: The government of Egypt has flat-out rejected the plan put forward for the IDF to redeploy its forces in Gaza in the event of a ceasefire. The Egyptians claim the plan constitutes a "national security" threat to Egypt. Egypt is a co-mediator with Qatar in the currently stalemated talks in Doha for another 60-day hudna between Israel and the Gaza terrorist factions (HAMAS, PIJ, etc.).
It must be noted that HAMAS originated in Egypt as a spinoff of the Al-Ikhwan Al-Muslimun (Muslim Brotherhood). Both Egypt and terrorist sponsoring Qatar have a vested interest in seeing the survival of the terrorist factions in Gaza. In reinforcing their displeasure the Egyptian government says it will increase the deployment of its armored forces opposite Gaza's southern border and across the Israel-Egypt border in the northern Sinai. It is also not lost on Israel's citizens that Egypt facilitated the cross-border arms smuggling that began long before October 7, 2023. Most concerning are the Egyptian statements claiming they may abbrogate (withdraw from) the "peace treaty" with Israel.
Given that HAMAS' is doing everything it can to thwart the Doha talks, it's not inconcievable that a united Islamist front is what Israel is actually facing on its southern borders. We'll look at prophetic Scripture next.
The entirety of Isaiah 19 speaks prophetically about what lies in the near future for Egypt, and also during the Millennium Reign of Christ on the Earth. This chapter is written in easy to understand plain language and largely devoid of high-end symbolic meaning. I leave it to the reader to investigate fully as we've touched on this before.
The bottom line with Isaiah 19 is that no nation of the Earth goes up against Almighty God and survives intact to challenge Him again thereafter, at least not for an entire Millennium and that is swiftly and permanently dealt with as well.
There is also Daniel 11:42-43 which concern the 70th Week of Years specifically with respect to Egypt and the nations to its immediate west and south.
At present we watch numerous prophetic events unfolding in real time and knowing with absolute certainty there is no stopping this flood as it sweeps everything in its path, except the Bride of Christ, into the 70th Week of Years.
Watching!
