Incidentally while I have the floor here . . . I was reading in Isaiah 11 this am. I found 2 interesting vs
vs 11 says the Lord is going to restore Israel to its land "the second time". Some people who know a little something about the bible make hay out of the OT passages that say God is going to restore Israel to their land. Saying that was fulfilled in the first return. It is clearly said here there will be two returns.
Vs 15 says in context to end times that the Nile River & the delta is going to dry up. Egypt's identity is and always has been around the Nile river. That would have a huge impact in many ways. Not the least of which would be psychological and spiritual.
It would have a huge physical impact as well on Egypt Sudan and Ethiopia. The Nile is so important that Egypt warned Sudan that if they put a dam on it they would consider that to be an act of War

Isaiah 27/1 interesting vs. right in context in a passage dealing with end times.
In that day the Lord will punish Leviathan the piecing serpent even leviathan that crooked serpent:and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.
Obviously dragon here is not a sea monster but some spiritual being. I don't think either one is referring to the devil. I am also of the opinion that the sea referred to her is the Mediterranean.
Moffatt in his translation of the bible says "The Nile dragon he shall slay" I'm not sure where he gets that but it sure is interesting.
This bit on punish is said in various places in the Bible. Its also said right in this same passage as the one above Is 24-27 The Little apocalypse.
Isaiah 24/21
It shall come to pass in that day the Lord shall punish the host of the High ones that are on high
I am of the belief that he will use the church to do it.
