For anyone that is interested, read Isaih chapter 19. Eerily similar to the news of today.
Lets see how "eerily similar" these events are. Red represents="Not happening", Yellow="Don't know, but unlikely", Green="Possibly to some small extent"

How many times do Dispensationalists have to be reminded that their hermeneutic is dead wrong, they always come off looking like fools and an utter embarrassment to Christianity.
“•LORD rides on a swift cloud and will come to Egypt”
Maybe in a way, God has come to Egypt and is stirring up the people
“•I will set Egyptians against Egyptians”
That is happening in the streets
“•everyone against his neighbor”
Definately happening
“•hand the Egyptians to a cruel master”
Likely Mubarak
It could be that the first half dozen have happened already and Israel may well end up invading to restore order. This is massive enough and God isn’t always as direct as we would think.
