Thank you for post.

Do NOT make this thread "about" individual Freepers. That is also a form of "making it personal."

Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.

The end came 2,000 years ago. If it did not, Christ and the apostles lied.

This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come. Matthew 24:14	First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, because your faith is being proclaimed throughout the whole world. Romans 1:8
	Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which has been kept secret for long ages past,  but now is manifested, and by the Scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the eternal God, has been made known to all the nations, leading to obedience of faith;  to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, be the glory forever. Amen. Romans 16:25-27
	...the gospel which has come to you, just as in all the world also... Colossians 1:5-6
	...the gospel that you have heard, which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven... Colossians 1:23
	How the Christian doctrine soon spread throughout the whole world. Thus, then, under a celestial influence and co-operation, the doctrine of the Saviour, like the rays of the sun, quickly irradiated the whole world. Presently, in accordance with divine prophecy, the sound of his inspired evangelists and apostles had gone throughout all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world. Throughout every city and village, like a replenished barn floor, churches were rapidly found abounding, and filled with members from every people. The Ecclesiastical History of Eusebius Pamphilus. Book 2, Chapter 3
Herein is the prophecy foretold by Christ, the fulfillment of which is written by Paul and verified by Eusebius. If the end did not come as Christ foretold, He is a false prophet and is not who He claimed to be. If Christ lied, He and everyone who died believing in Him did so in vain. If He did not lie, then it behooves you to try to understand what He meant by “the end.” His apostles understood, and their understanding is in almost every book of the New Testament.

One more thing:

The prophecy over Egypt in Isaiah 19 is a prophecy of the Battle of Carchemish (605 BC), in which Egypt was defeated by Babylon, ending Egypt’s power and influence in the Levant.

The fall of Jerusalem in 586 BC came, in part, as a result of Egypt’s fall.

The prophecies you cited from Isaiah and Matthew have absolutely nothing to do with what Egypt or the rest of the world, for that matter, is experiencing now.

Has Egypt been brought back to Lord? Are Egypt and Assyria(Iraq/Syria/part of Iran now brothers with Israel? Has Egypt been desolated for forty years, so much so that it's population went into exile? And I will make the land of Egypt a desolation in the midst of desolated countries, and her cities shall be a desolation forty years among cities that are laid waste. e I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them through the countries. 13 "For thus says the Lord God: At the end of forty years f I will gather the Egyptians from the peoples among whom they were scattered, 14 and g I will restore the fortunes of Egypt and bring them back to h the land of Pathros, the land of their origin, and there they shall be a lowly kingdom. (Ezekiel 29)

“At the end of forty years f I will gather the Egyptians from the peoples among whom they were scattered...”

What does the prophecy you cited in Ezekiel have to do with the prophecies you originally cited in Isaiah and Matthew???

Throwing around unrelated passages may fool some people, but I’m not impressed by it. When you want to have a discussion on Ezkiel, we can. In the meantime, address the prophecies in Isaiah and Matthew you originally raised and show us how they have anything to do - aside from your unique and personal interpretation of them - with us today.

i did address issues raised by the prophecy n Isaiah, I just through in the Ezekiel prophecy as an added point. Re-read my questions to you. (BTW I am not trying to ‘fool’ anyone, nor to impress you. I prefer civil discussions if at all.
