God's Word against Egypt and Syria

Aswān, on the Nile, in Egypt

Aswān, also spelled Assuan or Assouan, Greek Syene, city, capital of Aswān muḥāfaẓah (governorate), Egypt, on the east bank of the Nile River just below the First Cataract. It faces the island of Elephantine (modern Jazīrat Aswān), on which stand the ruins of the ancient city of Yeb. Aswān was the southern frontier of pharaonic Egypt. Its local quarries supplied granite for many ancient Egyptian monuments and are still operated. On the Nile’s eastern bank was the site of the ancient city of Swen (ancient Egyptian: “the Mart”), whence came the Greek Syene and the Arabic Aswan.

Ezekiel 29:9-10 (New King James Version)

9 And the land of Egypt shall become desolate and waste; then they will know that I am the LORD, because he (Pharaoh) said, ‘The River is mine, and I have made it.10 Indeed, therefore, I am against you and against your rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from *Migdol to Syene*, as far as the border of Ethiopia. (*This is the length of the Nile in Egypt--destroying the dam would wipe out most of Egypt)

Isaiah 17:1 (New King James Version)

 Proclamation Against Syria
1 The burden against Damascus. “ Behold, Damascus will cease from being a city, and it will be a ruinous heap."

This is the recorded Word of the Lord against Egypt and Syria. With Egypt's amassed power and might, the only way for Israel to defeat Egypt and fulfill prophesy, would be to take out the Aswan Dam, located near the ancient city of Syene. From YNet News "Indeed, Lieberman’s declaration that we may bomb Egypt’s Aswan dam was a threat that we could have done without. However, let’s not forget that in one of late President Sadat’s memoirs written in 1970, before Nasser’s death and while the dam was nearing its completion, Nasser himself said that Egypt can no longer embark on wars, as it will be vulnerable to an attack on a venture that would ruin the whole of Egypt if destroyed."

The only way for Israel to defeat Syria would be to take out the city of Damascus. We are living in the Last Days, and we need to be in constant prayer!

Iran, Syria sign mutual defense pact

http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1260447419513&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull

Iran and Syria signed a defense agreement on Friday, according to an Iranian Press TV report.

The document, signed by Iranian Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi and his Syrian counterpart Ali Mohammad Habib Mahmoud, aimed to face "common enemies and challenges," the report said.

Vahidi praised Syria's great potential in the defense and military fields and said that "it is natural for a country like Syria - which has an inhumane and menacing predator like Israel in its neighborhood - to be always prepared [against possible foreign aggression]."

Read full story at the link.



So...Israel is a inhumane and menacing predator? In my opinion, Damascus just officially signed its death warrent. That city and others will be totally destroyed - and very soon!

Isaiah 17:1-3
1 An oracle concerning Damascus:
"See, Damascus will no longer be a city but will become a heap of ruins.
2 The cities of Aroer will be deserted and left to flocks, which will lie down,
with no one to make them afraid.
3 The fortified city will disappear from Ephraim, and royal power from Damascus; the remnant of Aram will be like the glory of the Israelites," declares the LORD Almighty.
