Egypt (pronounced /ˈiːdʒɪpt/&_160;( listen); Arabic مصر Miṣr, pronounced&_160;[misˤɾ]&_160; ( listen); Egyptian Arabic Maṣr [ˈmɑsˤɾ]; Coptic Ⲭⲏⲙⲓ, kīmi; Egyptian Kemet), officially the Arab Republic of Egypt, is a country mainly in North Africa, with the Sinai Peninsula forming a land bridge in Western Asia. Covering an area of about 1,010,000&_160;square kilometers (390,000&_160;sq&_160;mi), Egypt is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea to the north, the Gaza Strip and Israel to the northeast, the Red Sea to the east, Sudan to the south and Libya to the west. Egypt is one of the most populous countries in Africa and Western Asia. The great majority of its estimated 77.4 million[1] live near the banks of the Nile River, in an area of about 40,000&_160;square kilometers (15,000&_160;sq&_160;mi), where the only arable agricultural land is found. The large areas of the Sahara Desert are sparsely inhabited. About half of Egypt's residents live in urban areas, with the majority spread across the densely-populated centres of greater Cairo, Alexandria and other major cities in the Nile Delta. Egypt is famous for its ancient civilization and some of the world's most famous monuments, including the Giza pyramid complex and its Great Sphinx. The southern city of Luxor contains numerous ancient artifacts, such as the Karnak Temple and the Valley of the Kings. Egypt is widely regarded as an important political and cultural nation of the Middle East. Egypt possesses one of the most developed economies in the Middle East, with sectors such as tourism, agriculture, industry and service at almost equal rates in national production.[citation needed] Consequently, the Egyptian economy is rapidly developing, due in part to legislation aimed at luring investments, coupled with both internal and political stability, along with recent trade and market liberalization.

2. The Lord Loves Us by Rodney Howard Browne
November 06, 2009
Isn't God gracious? We have got a Lord who knows our hearts, knows our thoughts, and knows our fears. When Moses had left Egypt forty years before there were those who sought his life. He was potentially featured at the apex of the Egyptian version of The 10 Most Wanted list.he used to be a family man now, headin' west with the better half and kids, and that potential danger must've been weighing on his mind. But when he finally made the choice to embrace God's will, he concerned to make the journey notwithstanding those concerns. He revealed to the Lord, in reality'Lord, I'm going to tr... (read more)

4. Bethlehem - Is it the True Manger of Christ?
November 06, 2009
We arrived in the Holy Land after a ten hour bus ride and two weeks in Egypt. We left most of our Astara tour of 100 people. Twenty two of us stayed on to visit Jerusalem. I really didn't understand the politics of the region until I got there. We had a Palestinian tour guide and so we were to stay in "occupied territory." This territory was actually the Mount of Olives where Jesus ascended into heaven and where he suffered alone in the Garden of Gethsemane. Those 2000 year old olive trees still produce olives. Before I left on the trip my Israeli friend told me that we must be stayi... (read more)

5. Doing it by Yourselves by Rodney Howard Browne
November 05, 2009
It was Aaron who got impatient while Moses was on the mountain and made a golden calf for the people to worship. It was he who informed the people,'This is your god, O Israel, who brought you up from the land of Egypt' ( Exodus 32:4 ). As you read these words, you will sense God's elbow to step out on religion in a plan that appears perilous at best. You do not know the hows and whys and wherefores of what God has in mind. From a human perspective, the prospects look rather sheer. Did you know what our bias is? It's to take someone with us. how many men have gone into a business partne... (read more)

6. Was The Date Of The Exodus The 15th Century B.C. Or The 13th Century B.C.?
November 05, 2009
The precise date of the Exodus from Egypt is uncertain, because the information in the Bible can be interpreted to support more than one date. Archaeological discoveries also present a confused picture. The result is that some scholars date the Exodus as early as 1446 B.C., while others place it later, about 1290 B.C.
The circumstances of Egyptian history are not very helpful either, because surviving Egyptian records do not mention either Joseph or Moses in any historical period. Neither does the Bible name the Pharaoh who ruled Egypt in Moses' day. The Exodus occurred after the rise of... (read more)

8. Will it be Alicante or further this year for winter sunshine?
November 05, 2009
Spain and in particular Alicante flight and Malaga used to be the place many British tourists would escape to for some warmer weather however with the continual weakening of the pound it looks it will be destinations that are found outside Europe that will be popular this winter and for the foreseeable future. Destinations such as Egypt are likely to be popular as holidaymakers avoid countries with the Euro. Adding in the increased flight availability means cheaper flights to Sharm El Sheikh and other main destinations in Egypt.

November 05, 2009
India has revenues of 10.9 billion USD from BPO and 30 billion USD from IT and total BPO.

12. Task of Shame by Rodney Howard Browne
November 05, 2009
I am convinced this awful show of judgment in Egypt, this battle between a righteous, holy God and the stubborn heart of Pharaoh, has at least 2 major truths to teach us. 2nd, it is an afraid thing to fall into the hands of the living God. You could be in the danger sector as you read these words. You have played fast and loose with your life, ignoring caution after caution. You have forced aside required truths for so long that your heart has become toughened.And the more you harden it, the harder it is to let God's light to at last break through.

13. Look at The Lord's Work by Rodney Howard Browne
November 05, 2009
He had not dump the tenet that he was supposed to be the deliverer, and he was somehow failing. How frequently had God explained it to him? Yet, like many people, he had difficulty keeping a grip on the Lord's assurances. What was Moses to do now? The message was a rerun of the last one [*CO]'Go, tell Pharaoh king of Egypt to let the boys of Israel go out of his land' ( v. 'Go to Pharaoh, Lord? My private people just purchased me an one-way ticket caravan back to Midian, and you would like me to return to Pharaoh? R-r-r-e-m-m-m-em-ber m-m-me? I am the fellow who can't t-t-t-talk. How ...

15. Working for other people by Rodney Howard Browne
November 04, 2009
Moses, the Prince of Egypt, alias Mr Perfect, watering animals? Why? Because Moses had just choked down the largest wedge of humble pie you can imagine. By this time, the person was prepared to do anything. Isn't it interesting, though, that in this event Moses was permitted to be a deliverer on an enormously smaller scale? Earlier, he had thought he was going to supply a country. Start here. He would have declared,'Aw forget all about it. I am out of the delivery business. Let someone else do the job.' But he didn't. The younger ladies would later tell their pa,'An Egyptian delivere... (read more)

17. The Bible Foretells Tribulation and Judgment From God On Both Christians and Sinners Alike
November 02, 2009
Do you know that the Scripture testifies that in these last days that the spirit of judgment will be visited upon the earth, on both the saved, and on the unsaved? For the Holy Spirit's purging work is constantly at work among those that are His to bring them to maturity. He allows many and difficult tribulations in the life of a Believer to aide in this purging process, where faith is built and the works of the flesh are put aside. The Apostle Peter described this process in these words, “....for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin.” (1Peter 4:1b KJV) It is the Lord'... (read more)

19. The History of Medicine From Long Ago
November 01, 2009
The use of plants for healing ailments depicted in cave paintings suggest that herbal medicine was practiced since prehistoric times. Using trail and error as a means of gaining experience, many tribal cultures had developed a database of medical knowledge that was used to cure many diseases. The earliest known surgery was performed in Egypt as far back as 2750 BC. Christopher Freville says that the Edwin Smith Papyrus sheds a lot of light on the level of advancement of Egyptian medicine. Although there was always a mix of the supernatural element with traditional Egyptian medicine, they were ... (read more)
