Egypt Today

post 163

This week I am fully engaged in renewing my Emergency Trauma Training and not able to blog as I would like.
But I cannot help but post a quick comment as we see this morning the mass crowds combined with other factors cause the president of Egypt to step down.
This is not one individual in a stable government, This is the last individual in that constitutionally governed government.
When he steps down, all power will be transferred to their military.
This means that there constitution of government will no longer be in effect.

How a nation then reorganizes itself into a desired government is the question.

It appears there are very few favorable results that may be expected from the current situation.
But unlike many, I do not believe the Muslim Brotherhood will step in to take power of the entire nation right away, though they may succeed in taking control of one of two divisions.
Why?
Because if the world is in the place of the time-line I believe it is, Isaiah 19 tells us that the next step is for the confusion and frustration to escalate as each group of citizens desire to push forward their ideas. As it becomes increasingly evident that consensuses cannot be reached, this striving will evolve into full out conflict between cities and their people.
But the escalation of conflict will not end until entire kingdoms of Egypt battle its neighbor kingdom.
But presently there are no multiple kingdoms of Egypt.*1
Therefore I expect this escalation of conflict to endure for some time until the governorates evolve into actual independent kingdoms as a result to solved their problems. But this will only further divide the people and ensure national unity will not be found.
How many kingdoms will this become? the wording allows for as few as two or as many as it becomes. At this point it is pointless to guess with any confidence.
So having said all that speculation, lets look at this passage to read and interpret only what it says:

"And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his brother, city against city, and kingdom against kingdom. And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst thereof:..." Isaiah 19:2-3a

Once this happens, the desperation to find answers will need to take place before they seriously turn to ancient methods;

"...and they shall seek to the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards." Isaiah 19:3b

Don't blow by these verses to pre-maturely jump to the verses that come later.
So for now, lets just watch Egypt to see if we are indeed watching the fulfillment of this part of Isaiah 19 written about 700 years before Christ.

This is not proof, but another significant element to add to the growing list of indicators of where the world is in the global time-line shown by scripture.

Tonight as I watch the news, it seems that president Mubarak is still resisting the transfer of government that was expected this morning. At this point we are all just watching in confusion to see what results.

*1 Egyptian Governorates - Egypt is divided for administrative purposes into 29 'governorates (محافظة muḥāfaẓa, plural Arabic: محافظات‎ muḥāfaẓāt). Egyptian governorates are the top tier of the five-tier jurisdiction hierarchy. A governorate is administered by a governor, who is appointed by the President of Egypt and serves at the president's pleasure. Most governorates have a population density of more than one-thousand per km², while the 3 largest have a population density of less than two per km².

Governorates are either fully "urban" or else they are an admixture of "urban" and "rural". The official distinction between "urban" and "rural" is reflected in the lower tiers: i.e., fully urban governorates have no regions (markaz), as the markaz is, natively, a conglomeration of villages. Moreover, governorates may comprise just one city, as in the case of Cairo or Alexandria. Hence, these one-city governorates are only divided into districts (i.e. urban neighborhoods). Cairo consists of 23 districts; Alexandria consists of 6.

Non-urban Governorates in Upper Egypt and along the Suez Canal are all named after their capitals, while governorates in the Nile Delta and the deserts tend to have names different from their capitals (Kafr el-Sheikh, Damietta, and Matruh Governorates being exceptions).

Two new governorates were created in April 2008, namely Helwan and 6th of October.[1] Luxor was created in December 2009, to be the 29th governorate of Egypt.[2] - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governorates_of_Egypt
