Muslim Brotherhood gains power in Egypt<\/span><\/h2>\n
UPI –<\/strong> March 25, 2011<\/span><\/div>\n
The Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamic group once banned by Egypt, has become a force as the country undergoes a change in government, observers said.<\/span>Because of its organization and network, the Muslim Brotherhood was expected to have an advantage while the post-Hosni Mubarak government takes shape, The New York Times reported Friday. What is surprising to some are the ties the organization has with its adversary, the military.<\/span><\/p>\n

“There is evidence the Brotherhood struck some kind of a deal with the military<\/strong> early on,” said Elijah Zarwan, a senior analyst with the International Crisis Group. “It makes sense if you are the military — you want stability and people off the street. The Brotherhood is one address where you can go to get 100,000 people off the street.” <\/span> <\/span>http:\/\/www.upi.com\/Top_News\/World-News\/2011\/03\/25\/Muslim-Brotherhood-gains-power-in-Egypt\/UPI-86451301057128\/<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Egypt Vote Shows Islamist Influence<\/span> <\/span><\/h2>\n
Wall Street Journal<\/strong> – March 22, 2011…<\/span><\/div>\n

The powerful Muslim Brotherhood, a once-illegal Islamist political group, was joined in supporting the amendments by leaders of the Salafi Islamist movement\u2014which follows the ultra-conservative brand of Islam widely practiced in Saudi Arabia\u2014and residual elements of the former ruling National Democratic Party, or NDP.<\/span><\/p>\n

Opponents of the amendments, which included many in the youth movement, said the Muslim Brotherhood allied with the NDP as part of a cynical power grab: The approval of the amendments has set the stage for parliamentary elections this summer, for which only the Brotherhood and the NDP have the organizational structures to compete.\u00a0 http:\/\/online.wsj.com\/article\/SB10001424052748704355304576214611275129754.html?mod=googlenews_wsj<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Earlier this week I reported that the Muslim Brotherhood seemed to be making gains in Libya (see Muslim Brotherhood May Rise Up in Libya<\/a>).<\/p>\n

We in the Living Church of God<\/a> (LCG) expect a pan-Arabic leader. Here is a recent LCG writing from Wyatt Ciesielka that demonstrate this:<\/p>\n

The fact is that food prices, the Muslim Brotherhood or any number of other political or religious factors are only contributing reasons<\/em> for the current Arab-world turmoil. The underlying reason<\/em> is that the Almighty Creator God is allowing geopolitics to align according to His will, and according to His time! Scripture is clear that God supremely reigns over all<\/em> nations and all<\/em> empires (2 Chronicles 20:6, Daniel 4:25), and He sometimes allows demonic principalities<\/em> to influence people, nations, and rulers (Daniel 10:20, Ephesians 6:12).<\/p>\n

Is the current Arab crisis setting the stage for a future king of the South? While the timing <\/em>is entirely up to God, the simple answer is that yes<\/em>, Arab geopolitics are moving ahead exactly<\/em> as Bible prophecy has long foretold! Read more <\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The timing seems to be right for such a leader to start rising up. The events in primarily Sunni Egypt, Lebanon, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Jordan, and Yemen seem to be setting the stage of the Arabic peoples to be willing to consider some type of confederation with a strong leader to represent them.–but there may be interim governments first.\u00a0 Even Syria is having significant problems.<\/p>\n

If protests continue to expand in the Middle East, this could trigger other events which will possibly contribute to both the King of the South and the King of the North rising up and\/or gaining power.<\/p>\n

Some articles of possibly related interest may include:<\/em><\/p>\n

Is There A Future King of the South?<\/a> Some no longer believe there needs to be. Might Egypt, Islam, Iran, Arabs, or Ethiopia be involved? Might this King be called the Mahdi? What does the Bible say?
\nThe Arab and Islamic World In the Bible, History, and Prophecy<\/a> The Bible discusses the origins of the Arab world and discusses the Middle East in prophecy. What is ahead for the Middle East and those who follow Islam? What about the Imam Mahdi? What lies ahead for Turkey, Iran, and the other non-Arabic Muslims?
\nAfrica: Its Biblical Past and Prophesied Future<\/a> What does the Bible teach about Africa and its future? Did the early Church reach Africa? Will God call all the Africans?
