The burden of Egypt. Behold, the Lord rideth upon a swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it.

A Reminder of the Lion Standing Per Daniel 7 By Mark Davidson on June 22, 2013 While we wait and watch for the remaining Signposts as written about in Hidden In Plain Sight, and strain toward Christ’s coming, once in a while we are reminded of where we’ve been.

See for example this post (http://zenpundit.com/?p=3205) or just go to Zenpundit.com and do a search on “Black Banners”. The fact that they are Madhists is probably more important than that they are Chechens.
