Israel is Egypt

[Bible | Link | Print]

The Lord says through Isaiah (chapter 19): "So I will incite Egyptians against Egyptians; and they will each fight against his brother and each against his neighbor, city against city and kingdom against kingdom."

Jesus says of Israel, "Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death" (Matthew 10:21) and "For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes" (Matthew 24:7).
