| Show egypt AND end PROPHECY the jewish times cail calls s the attention of readers of scripture to the remarkable prophecies of ezekiel in respect to the E egyptians that prophet prock ts ID JD denouncing their wickedness and idolatries idol atries among other things procla proclaimed iwed aimed these curses of the Lord dord against them it bhail ahall be 1 the basest 0 of f kingdoms neither shall it exalt itself any more above tho nation for foi I 1 will diminish them that they shall no more rulo irula ov oyer over er the nations eions and alid again there shallie shall jae no more a prince of theland the and of egypt figy pt andl andi and I 1 will put fut ut a rear fear in the laud land of egypt them these phopho prophesies im it shows have bl been en most literally verified aud and accomplished by events eventa boon soon after alter their delivery egypt became a 6 province of th tho persian empire riha kihewa was waa pud and humbled 2 and her rulers made mildo ta pay tribute to the persians this was the beginning of the fulfillment of the it W was wag 29 completely fulfilled on the death of 0 the bathing Wa thing of egyptian extrac tion con in tho the year A df dri i since that date egypt has been beon conf cont constantly antly ruled by foreigners fore ignera eor for since the ruin of uie the persian monarchy it has been subject successively to the macedonians Macedon fans ians the roman romang the Mamel and lastly the turks who tribute from her and have ruled to over oven va her up to this dy lay the gemes times goes on to forecast the future dase base leased d on the prophecies yet unfulfilled we quote aa as follows the ivi Ivl dences n lre are re that the war now m protea pr ores orea ili ill its results will show a still further fulfillment of the prophets words this already tup tAp appears pears to bo be binovi table tabie from the cj and surroundings of tho the straggle gio glo and may be predicted upon the charae charge character of tho the english people and their weir traditional custom in dealing wa with th weak powers more mora territory antt anil more tribute Dute has haa over ever hsen her watchword and tho the sure conclusion of all the tho preb pret present tent complications will bo be that egypt will practically to bce come corae a british province or dependency whatever may have joeen beon been the catuso of the war whether Z i right or wrong that will be its result we do not undertake to say whether england la Is j justified or dov DOC it Is difficult at this distance t to 0 get et at the true trae merits of the tho contest it may bo be asked what right has england in egypt and it may be answered she has as much right as the turks then we inquire what right have the turks there the anwer to this is that egypt Is i and must illy llly be in tho the present degraded condition of her population the tha prey diey of some stronger ponder power turkey should be required to relax her hold business there and she has baa only been government ime and evil more than this turkey herself is nearly as helpless as E agypt egypt and she ehe must soon boon be driven to the asiatic side of the and if the turks were gone and europe should stand off who would be ruler in egypt then the people of egypt but who are the people cf of egypt the copts coats who are the descendants of the ancient egyptians do not number over half a mill million fop iop while the tha turks and arabs araba number about five millions here the prophets words stand out cut again ogi 1 I will diminish them they shall no more rule role over the nations thus wes if england and turkey should withdraw and arabi arab rasha pasha be allowed to have his own way the bedouin would immediately fall heir to egypt the piea plea of arabi and his nn national dional party ia 13 that the british and french were guilty of tra tion but grant it and it leads us equale up to the tha inquiry whether turkish administration was ever half BO so good engl england nd and france in virtue of their pecuniary claims by formal treaty as all know obtained con troi of the country and proceeded to administer egypt much as england administers india english and french officials were put in all places of trust bup eup reeding the turks and arabs and copts coats under this arrangement egypt improved i she began to figure as an important coun country try inthe in the annaina of the world her bonds became a favorite security in europe grent grea fr improvements very rash ones in fact were undertaken and accomplished and the khedive aimed a at all things for the elevation of his people such was the state of the case when the revolt introduced the present corn and placed a new feature oa on affairs an and now aa the war var has commenced it Is obviously to the inte in rests teresta of that england should follow u ip what she has begun turkey ought to be ea eliminated I 1 in entirely from oho tho egyptian problem the fiction of ber ben hen her
