A recent poll conducted by an Egyptian state institute has revealed that 92% of Egyptians see Israel as an enemy state, despite having signed a lasting peace agreement with the Jewish nation 27 years ago. 60% of Egyptians also feel that Denmark is an enemy of Egypt, and 50% believed the US could also be considered an enemy. Egypt has of course fought and lost several wars with Israel, in 1948, 1956, 1967 and 1973. But Denmark comes as a surprise, having only published caricatures of the prophet Mohammed, and at that, long after an Egyptian paper published them.

Quote: "And which countries have been crowned as 'friends' of Egypt? The list is topped by Saudi Arabia, Libya, the Palestinian Authority, Sudan and Syria.

This poll has shattered my faith in the peace agreement between Israel and Egypt. The Bible states that Egypt will be one of the countries that will come under control of the Antichrist during the tribulation period.

Daniel 11:40, 42
And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over... He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.

Because of this fact, I believe Egypt will one day break its peace agreement with Israel (there have already been calls for it to do so over the Israeli Hizbullah war), and become engaged in a major Middle East war, possibly the Gog Magog war of Ezekiel 38-39. The Bible states that after the tribulation period, several cities in Egypt will speak the language of Canaan, and one city will be called the city of destruction (Isaiah 19:18). The poll also reveals a surprising statistic, that most Egyptians view Libya, the PA, Sudan and Syria as allies. Libya and Sudan are of course mentioned by name in Ezekiel 38-39. The PA and Syria will also become involved in this war, resulting in the destruction of Damascus (Isaiah 17).
