That’ll work.
Have saved this ....really exccellant information and gives one an overall view of the players in Egypt. Thanks
Good point.
When he isn’t pushing his dispensational end time stories Rosenberg is a very astute observer of the middle east scene.
This is an odd conclusion by a confirmed global holocaust futurist like Rosenberg.
If God is in charge (which obviously He is), and the futurists have a notion that global suicide overseen by the futurist antichrist is just over the horizon, what hope is there to offer to the Egyptian people … or anyone in the middle east, for that matter? Their destruction is at hand. Indeed, this may the “birth pangs” of that soon destruction. In the futurist scenario, they will go up against Israel and their virtual annihilation will take place.
What’s odd about all this is that confirmed global holocaust theorizers what to offer hope to a people for which there is no hope (in their system). The only real hope is for Christian rapturists like Rosenberg, who will miss the bloody mess.
But rapturists want to offer hope in spite of their hopeless theology. They are like an Arminian who prays that God will save his dying mother even thought his theology tells him that ultimately mother’s salvation is according to her own free will choice. Deep down they want to believe, and have hope, but their god can do nothing. Great Tribulation will be upon the world before we know it.
What real hope is there for the Egyptian nation in the rapturist system? Absolutely none. They are bound to doom and destruction. Perhaps some small remnant might escape, but the fate of the majority is sealed, and will come to an end Real Soon Now®.
I’m curious. How do y’all know this is “excellent analysis” rather than more fodder for Rosenberg’s cockamamie futurist theories?
I posted this in the Religion forum to reach some that focus their attention here. If Metmom wants to post it in the News/Activism that’s fine with me.
We may have different eschatological views, but it's great that some acknowledge he knows the region, the players and motivations of those involved.
I think the article supported conclusion that I had already drawn. Why do think this is “more fodder for Rosenberg’s cockamamie futurist theories?”
I didn’t realize you were studied in modern Egyptology, esp. political matters.

He states as much from the beginning.
In my 2009 non-fiction book Inside The Revolution: Why the followers of Jihad, Jefferson and Jesus are battling to dominate the Middle East and take over the world, …Of which the publisher said this:
Known best for his fiction centered in the Middle East and based in Christian end times beliefs, Rosenberg's nonfiction behemoth will be a bestseller among evangelicals.Not a bestseller in general, nor it is noteworthy because of any objective political analysis.
Here Rosenberg proceeds to impose his previously articulated theological/political template on Egypt. It is what it is, fodder for rapturist Christians who lack critical thinking skills.
whatever you say. Have a nice day.
This could have been titled, “Why Evangelicalism is in the Pits.”
I was finally able to post it but only in Bloggers and Personal.
FR software wouldn’t allow it to be posted in News/Activism.
We’ll see how it goes.
