Egypt - A Base Kingdom

Welcome to the April 3rd, 2009 edition of Bible in the News. This is Glenn Abel with you. Last week marked the 30th anniversary of the peace agreement between Israel and Egypt. On March 26, 1979, the Israel-Egypt Peace Treaty was signed in Washington DC by Egyptian President, Anwar al-Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister, Menachem Begin. In exchange for peace, the Israeli government gave up the Sinai Peninsula which had been captured during the six-day war of 1967. This week, we are going to spend some time looking at Egypt in Bible Prophecy, and at how those events were seen by Bible Students at that time.
