=== Nile's Drying Up Crisis (02:23) ===

[00:00:00]  So Isaiah 19 is a prophecy which has several components.
[00:00:04]  It's an oracle of Isaiah against Egypt.
[00:00:07]  It begins with a civil war.
[00:00:09]  Egypt is in the middle of a civil war.
[00:00:11]  It's beginning right now.
[00:00:12]  It talks about the Nile drying up.
[00:00:14]  These things are beginning right now.
[00:00:15]  I could lay out all the details of what's leading to that.
[00:00:20]  I keep hearing about that, about the Nile.
[00:00:22]  Well, you've had, of course...
[00:00:24]  Is that really going to happen?
[00:00:25]  You've got the Aswan Dam back in the 70s, which depleted the Nile by about 20%.
[00:00:30]  It's caused the greatest ecological failure of modern history.
[00:00:34]  Ethiopia now is building a second dam called the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam.
[00:00:39]  Saudi Arabia is running out of water.
[00:00:41]  They're buying up all of this land down in Ethiopia, all the marshlands, which is the basin of the Nile.
[00:00:46]  Ethiopia runs out of water.
[00:00:48]  That's a desert.
[00:00:49]  They need a lot of water.
[00:00:50]  They pump it out of the ground.
[00:00:52]  They have a massive fossil reservoir of water.
[00:00:54]  They're pumping out of the ground, rapidly running out.
[00:00:57]  They're not just running out of oil, they're running out of water.
[00:00:59]  Then they just hose down the desert and it's gone.
[00:01:03]  Egypt is the largest, most populous Arab nation in the world, about 83 million people.
[00:01:08]  And when that river is depleted, it's a human catastrophe.
[00:01:12]  Okay?
[00:01:12]  So it speaks of that.
[00:01:13]  It's not quite yet, but we can see everything lining up to where just in the next decade, this is going to become a critical issue, the Nile River.
[00:01:21]  No, it says that right here in chapter 19.
[00:01:25]  Yeah, it takes up a big part of the chapter.
[00:01:27]  The river Nile will dry up.
[00:01:30]  Period.
[00:01:30]  That's what it says right there.
[00:01:32]  And it desolates the economy.
[00:01:34]  And it goes on.
[00:01:35]  It talks about being invaded by a cruel master.
[00:01:38]  This is the conflict between the king of the north and the king of the south that's spoken of in Daniel 11.
[00:01:44]  Of course, two years ago, Egypt was great friends with, whether it was Turkey or Syria or Iraq, they were great friends with them all.
[00:01:50]  Now, President Erdogan in Turkey is openly calling President Sisi a dictator.
[00:01:55]  Sisi's calling Erdogan a dictator.
[00:01:57]  There is an incredible tension that has arisen now.
[00:02:00]  That's not going away anytime soon.
[00:02:02]  So it's speaking of the eventual invasion of Egypt.
[00:02:06]  You can see all of these things lining up.

=== Cry Rising Up Out Of Egypt (01:01) ===

[00:02:08]  You can see the landscape taking shape.
[00:02:10]  We're not quite there yet.
[00:02:12]  But then when it gets to the most important part, and this is the glorious part, not all biblical prophecy is bad, is it speaks of a prayer movement in Egypt, a cry rising up out of Egypt.
[00:02:23]  Egypt today has one of the most amazing prayer movements of any church in the world.
[00:02:29]  In 2013, I went and I visited.
[00:02:32]  In 2011, they had a prayer meeting.
[00:02:34]  They had roughly 60,000 people gathered all night long.
[00:02:38]  And this is in a nation where the Christians are only 10%.
[00:02:40]  My goodness.
[00:02:41]  They're way less than us.
[00:02:42]  And they had a 60,000 people prayer meeting, worshiped and prayed from 6 at night to 6 in the morning.
[00:02:48]  You've got video footage of it in the DVD.
[00:02:51]  And we went, we went to an all-night prayer meeting when we were there, and the church of Egypt is crying out, and they're having revival.
[00:02:57]  They're beginning to experience a revival.
[00:03:00]  And when you go on, Isaiah 19 actually describes a great revival throughout the entire Middle East.
[00:03:06]  So listen, what's happening in the Middle East?
[00:03:08]  Satan has a plan.
