Egypt

With everything that is going on in the middle east right now you can hardly check your email without something popping up in an ad, news report, or chain letter. Not that I get chain letters, I was trying to be inclusive.
Anyway, as a curious citizen of a country that has some claim to a need to follow these events, and as a Christian, I did some research. I get the emails from Generals International and have followed up on the words they have been sending, and listening to several Morningstar Ministries videos and newsletters discussing it. And the conclusion I come to is this:
Something is happening in Egypt that has been predicted, not just recently, but for thousands of years. The Bible discusses a time when there will be a highway and an altar in Egypt. Here:

Isaiah 19:19-25. KJV
 ¹⁹In that day shall there be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to the LORD.
 ²⁰And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the LORD because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a saviour, and a great one, and he shall deliver them.
 ²¹And the LORD shall be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know the LORD in that day, and shall do sacrifice and oblation; yea, they shall vow a vow unto the LORD, and perform it.
 ²²And the LORD shall smite Egypt: he shall smite and heal it: and they shall return even to the LORD, and he shall be intreated of them, and shall heal them.
 ²³In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians.
 ²⁴In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land:
 ²⁵Whom the LORD of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance.

So if that isn't cool, I came across another prophecy about Egypt that I'd forgotten about in the book Journal of the Unknown Prophet. Because I am too lazy to check out copyright laws (and I always feel obligated to) I am just going to basically paraphrase instead of posting the whole thing:
Egypt is commissioned by God to carry his message to their people. His people. And there will be a great outpouring in Egypt and the Arab countries that will "rise in the streets and behind closed doors, and a great rush of My Spirit shall roar and my gospel shall yet be proclaimed." (Journal otUP; pg. 143).
I'm personally excited to see the good that will come from this, to see the Savior that will arise for Egypt to save them from the oppressors, and I am honored to live in a time when I can be praying for these people, and for the fulfillment of God's word.

It's just cool.
And Israel. I never realized how many people believe that the Western church has replaced Israel...where in the world do they get that idea???? I just don't understand it. Maybe I'm weird like that and it just won't sink in but I believe God when he says Israel is his nation, his people. And that when he says everlasting he means everlasting. I am absolutely for the defending of Israel, the protection of Israel, friendship with Israel, and pure support of Israel. I'm nineteen years old. A student. Living in Alaska. With my family. Churched all my life. And in love with God. I want my heart to love and desire what he desires. And Israel is his Chosen. His CHOSEN.
