EGYPT IN BIBLE PROPHECY
Jesse M. Hendley

Turn with me now, friends, to the Book of Isaiah,
chapter 30. We are studying EGYPT IN BIBLE PROPHECY
and today we come to the question of what GOD thinks
about the people of Israel going among the Egyptians
seeking peace and even depending upon the United
States of America for help. In this series we are

strength. No, they trusted in the shadow of Egypt. A
shadow is certainly a weak thing in which to trust!

Isaiah 30:3, "Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh
be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt
your confusion." Verse 7, "For the Egyptians shall
help in vain and to no purpose. Therefore have I cried
concerning this, Their strength is to SIT S ...
