Question: Today, is not Egypt the most heavily populated nation in the Middle East? Yet in your booklet "Proof of the Bible" you quote Ezekiel 29:15 to show God said that He would diminish the Egyptians and make it a base kingdom. Has this prophecy been broken? Answer: The Bible means what it says. Today, Egypt is populated mainly by Arabs, not Egyptians. The Egyptians, upon whom God pronounced this curse, are called Copts today. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
