Egypt being prepared for invasion by the 'King of the North': End Time Bible Prophecy

Egypt at the time of the end In Daniel chapter 11 we have some amazing details given to us about the state of Egypt in the time period just before the Lord Jesus Christ returns to the earth. In Daniel 11 we have depicted before us the history of two key territories down through time. An area to the north of Israel ruled over by a succession of foreign powers termed in the prophecy “The King of the North” and the same in the south called “the King of the South”. The prophecy begins in the time of the Greeks under Alexander the Great and depicts the state of these two power bases to the north and south down through time. Verses 40-45 are of most significance to us as these verses are to do with “the time of the end”. They have not yet been fulfilled. Within this time period we read of how the “King of the North” sweeps down through Turkey, through Israel into Egypt. We here read of the details of Egypt at this time in verses 42-43: "He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape. But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt” Daniel 11:42-43 The word “pleasant” is the hebrew “chemdah” which means “desirable”. This is telling us that an invading force, from the North will not only invade Egypt but will control her economy and desirable precious commodities. A companion prophecy to this is found in Isaiah 19 which speaks of a cruel lord invading Egypt. Again, this is a future event because many parts have not yet been fulfilled. For example in verse 19 it talks of an alter being made in Egypt to Yahweh, the God of Israel which has not yet occurred. As Bible students we believe from our understanding of the scriptures that we are indeed living in the time leading up to this invasion from the North. We read in other prophecies of this that this is the time when Jesus Christ returns to the earth to establish God’s Kingdom (for example Ezekiel 38 and Zechariah 14 as well as Daniel 12). Therefore we would expect Egypt to have “desirable” things in the time period leading up to, and obviously during this great invasion form the North. If we are indeed living at the cusp of this time then we should be able to begin to see Egypt’s commodities in the light of the prophecy - as being treasures and precious. So does Egypt have such things?
