One day Egypt will betray Israel in such a way to anger the Lord, that He will bring swift destruction to them from which the country will remain a desolation for 40 years into the millennial reign.
Egypt has held a peace agreement with Israel for the last 47 years with the signing at the Camp David accords of March 1979. However, Egypt has a spirit of betrayal that has grown stronger with time.
Egypt’s military has grown stronger in the recent years to become one of the most powerful in the region. In response to the Israeli war with Hamas, Egypt recently had another military buildup in the Sinai Peninsula under the pretext to “prevent Gazans” from breaking into Sinia from the Israeli border. This was a direct violation of their peace treaty. This has happened a few times in the past since 2013 under the pretext of fighting ISIS. Sinai was supposed to be a demilitarized buffer zone between the two countries. Egypt has also held military exercises and war games with the enemy always as Israel. In recent years, Egypt has also dug underground tunnels under the Suez Canal adjacent to Sinai which would allow for its military to cross in a short time.
After Israel, Egypt is the largest recipient of U.S. military aid; around $1.5 billion per year. The U.S. also has military bases in Egypt. Essentially, Egypt is seen as an “ally” to the U.S. and as a “moderate” within the surrounding Arab nations. In January of 2024, Egypt joined BRICS, a coalition formed by Russia to deter the U.S. dollar. In December of 2024, Egypt held a summit meeting with 8 Islamic nations including the heads of Turkey, Iran, and the Palestinian Authority, all sworn enemies of Israel. Back in February when President Trump suggested moving the Gazan refugees into Egypt, President Sisi canceled his planned visit to the U.S., making a very strong statement to a supposed ally. To make matters worse, in mid-April, Egypt conducted joint naval military drills in the Mediterranean Sea with Russia called Friendship Bridge. Keep in mind the Russians lost their military base on the coast of Syria recently after the fall of the Assad regime. Two days after this event, Egypt conducted their first ever military air drills with the Chinese air force called Eagles of Civilization 2025.
Egypt can no longer be seen as a “pro-western moderate Arab nation”. That Spirit of betrayal never left Egypt since the days of the Exodus. Throughout their history, Israel seemed not to learn their lesson.
Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin: That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt! Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion. Isaiah 30:1-3. (past event)
And Rabshakeh said unto them, Say ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this wherein thou trustest? I say, sayest thou, (but they are but vain words) I have counsel and strength for war: now on whom dost thou trust, that thou rebellest against me? Lo, thou trustest in the staff of this broken reed, on Egypt; whereon if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that trust in him. Isaiah 36:4-6 (past event)
Pharaoh king of Egypt lives on in spirit as one of the 7 heads of the beast of Revelation, the dragon of the sea, and is the only head “named”. From the beginning of God’s people with the Exodus to the end of His people unto Salvation, the Spirit of Pharoah will finally meet his demise.
In the tenth year, in the tenth month, in the twelfth day of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against all Egypt: Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon that lieth in the midst of his rivers, which hath said, My river is mine own, and I have made it for myself. But I will put hooks in thy jaws, and I will cause the fish of thy rivers to stick unto thy scales, and I will bring thee up out of the midst of thy rivers, and all the fish of thy rivers shall stick unto thy scales. And I will leave thee thrown into the wilderness, thee and all the fish of thy rivers: thou shalt fall upon the open fields; thou shalt not be brought together, nor gathered: I have given thee for meat to the beasts of the field and to the fowls of the heaven. And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the LORD, because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel. When they took hold of thee by thy hand, thou didst break, and rend all their shoulder: and when they leaned upon thee, thou brakest, and madest all their loins to be at a stand.
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring a sword upon thee, and cut off man and beast out of thee. And the land of Egypt shall be desolate and waste; and they shall know that I am the LORD: because he hath said, The river is mine, and I have made it. Behold, therefore I am against thee, and against thy rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from the tower of Syene even unto the border of Ethiopia. No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of beast shall pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years. And I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities among the cities that are laid waste shall be desolate forty years: and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries. Ezekiel 29:1-12. (future event)
