    Egypt; Biblical hell. Why does God hate it so much?

    I've often wondered what exists in the land of Egypt to cause Our Father in Heaven to abhor it so much. Smited by plagues and famine for centuries, it's obviously a place much hated by Jesus.

    Personally, I think it's history of snake-headed leaders and the worship of giant 3D triangles has a lot to do with it. But even today, Egypt is overun with vile mudslums trying to lay claim to Christ's inheritance. It's really hard to put your finger on what it is; but obviously living in Egypt is akin to taking shelter in an open sewer.

    Feel free to share your thoughts and/or favorite Biblical reference.

    I quite like the fact that, when the beast in Revelation has killed people, their bodies will be left in the streets of Sodom and Egypt as a final humiliation:
    Revelation 11:7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
    8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
    9 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.

    I also like this quote, from Pastor Ezekiel's namesake, which manages to simultaneously bash both Egypt, and otherkin furries who think they're dragons.

    Ezekiel 29:1 In the tenth year, in the tenth month, in the twelfth day of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
    2 Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against all Egypt:
    3 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.
    4 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.
    5 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.
    6 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.
    7 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.
    8 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring a sword upon thee, and cut off man and beast out of thee.
    9 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.
    10 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.
    11 No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of beast shall pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years.
    12 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.

    PRAISE!
    O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it--for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.



    God being truth, justice, goodness, beauty, power, and life, man is falsehood, iniquity, evil, ugliness, impotence, and death. God being master, man is the slave. Incapable of finding justice, truth, and eternal life by his own effort, he can attain them only through a divine revelation... he who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter, but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.

      1: They didn't worship the pyrimids,and they were not snake headed those were their crowns.
      2:Egypt has wonderful places for study to learn of the ways in which they lived futher back than 300bc.
      3: The way they wrote can be used in codes to help the gov.
      4: The things that happened in Egypt were terrible, but they were caused by a stuborn unforgiving king, thus giving the Jews passover after they became free.
      Many know not what a few words may do... But even fewer know what no words at all really may mean, for true love is in knowing with out anywords at all, but knowing when to say them is the greatest gift any could ever give of be given.
