Egypt's revolution is remarkable... Oh, the dictator Mubarak gave up the dictatorship after protests. The people have won I suppose.
But does it end of all their woes? I am not so sure. Still rocky road ahead.
I have been living a rock, I have never even heard of Mubarak for the past 30 years. He doesn't come on headlines often like some dictators with nuclear weapons threatening neighbors. Egyptians ought to be happy their protest didn't end up like Tianenmen Square in 1989.
I only know Egypt has an ancient civilization. They have some great pyramids. There are the mummies and there are the Pharoah and there was incapability of drawing in 3D.
You may have heard about Egypt in the Bible.
Egypt is where the 11 bad brothers of Joseph go to when there was famine.
It is where Israelites get enslaved and God rescued them in Exodus.
God punished them with the horrible Ten Plagues.
The Red Sea opened and devoured the Egyptian soldiers. That's terrifying.
In NT, Gabriel the angel tell Mary and Joseph to go there to avoid the killing of the boys.
Egypt had all that idols and stuff that God didn't like.
Readers are supposed to go "yay! God has delivered His people from the slavery and idols"... so they deserved it. I wonder if Egyptians ever protest against that (probably not a good idea)
