Egypt Troops In Syria: Cairo Denies Reports Of Military Presence In War-Torn Country

Egypt denied media reports that alleged the presence of its military units in Syria. The country’s foreign ministry said Sunday Egypt does not intervene in the internal affairs of other countries.

“These claims only exist in the imagination of those who promote them,” the ministry reportedly said in a statement, adding that such an intervention would require public legal measures.

The statement did not refer to any specific media outlets behind the claims but most reports cited As-Safir, a Lebanese daily which reported last week that Cairo sent a military unit of 18 pilots to an air base in the west-central Syrian city of Hama earlier in November. The report was based on “well-informed Arab sources” who said the unit was joined by four senior military officials upon arrival.

Sounds like early seeds of Armageddon, except the false peace of the Tribulation, broken up by the Great Tribulation must come first.

More likely, the seeds of Ezekiel 38 -— perhaps even Isaiah 17:1 as some have suggested.

You know, I always thought it was strange that the Bible says that everyone’s hands will be against his brothers. But think of it. Shia and Sunni both want the destruction of Israel. They gather attack and then attack each other.

Yes, it says that Ishmael’s hands will be against everyman and everyman against him.

Genesis 16:12 New King James Version (NKJV)

12 He shall be a wild man;
His hand shall be against every man,
And every man’s hand against him.
And he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.”

Ishamel would be the head of the non-Jewish Middle Easterners which is what you were suggesting with the Sunni / Shia fight.

Even still, they have always fought with one another. The Jordanians fought the PLO way back; creating “Black September”. Therefore, Black September attacked -—>>> the Jews, at the 1972 Munich Olympics. It made sense in their wacko minds.
