Within the last two weeks, ISIS has launched attacks against Egypt along Israel's Sinai border. The surprise attacks caught Egypt's Security Forces off guard and was a simultaneous attack against 15 Egyptian security posts along Egypt's Northern border with Israel. Equally surprising was that ISIS used sophisticated and modern weapons. Egypt quickly received permission from Israel to move armored personnel carriers, helicopters and fighter jets to the Sinai.
Israel is concerned because they wonder if this conflict could develop into rocket or mortar fire toward Israel. The Israeli Defense Forces closed all Sinai crossings along Highway 12 which runs along their Southern border with Egypt. Additionally, the Israeli Defense Forces reinforced its presence in the area to include helicopter and fighter jet patrols.
These developments are serious and are being addressed appropriately by Israel and Egypt. Notice both countries have responded in almost identical ways even in a posture of cooperation. Is all of this prophetic and the start of a time of revival in Egypt? Isaiah 19:19, 24, 25 say, "In that day there will be an altar to The Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt and a pillar to The Lord at its border . . . In that day Israel will be one of three with Egypt and Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land, whom The Lord of hosts shall bless, saying, 'Blessed is Egypt My people, and Assyria the work of My hands, and Israel My inheritance.'" The day is coming when Egypt, Iraq and Israel will worship our Lord God together. Are all these developments a preview?
May The Lord Bless You And Keep You This Day And Each Day,
