Answers Concerning Prophecies and things future #23

Riches of Egypt

Daniel, in chapter xi. 43, has declared that in the latter days “treasures of gold and silver” should exist in Egypt. For many years that country was in a deplorable condition. Lack of a stable and honest government prevented the accumulation of wealth there. But that has all been changed.

Under the strong hand of British administrators the finances of the country have been vastly improved, and prosperity is returning to the land of the Pharaohs.

. . .

This change in circumstances will, in due time, attract the cupidity of Russia, the King of the North, who, in connection with his designs upon Palestine, will occupy the land of Egypt; but the Russian Power, the oppressor of both Israel and Egypt, will be broken by the Saviour in the very hour of apparent success (Ezek. xxxviii. and Zech. xiv.).
