<br></p><p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">Dear Friends - This is a letter that we have received twice from some folks in Egypt with their perspective on what is happening there. <u>Totally different</u> story from what the press is presenting. An interesting read.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;"><br></p><br><div>Dear friends,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am writing this to you as a witness to what is going on from the
streets of Cairo over the last few days. Rania and I have been
following the developments since January 25th, which started with a
large group of Egyptian youth taking to Tahrir square in an
anti-government protest with specific demands. I know some of these
people who were in that group and I talked with them. What is happening
now has nothing to do with this original protest! What is happening
right now is a conspiracy to topple Mubarak from outside the country!! I
am not a conspiracy theorist, but let me tell you what I have
personally witnessed on the streets of Cairo.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I want to share first what the LORD told me on Friday morning.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I went to the LORD in prayer on Thursday evening, praying like many
others for protection and for the restoration of peace and security in
my land. I told the LORD: "Father, answer my prayers with rain", which
He has several times before. I went to sleep. I woke up on Friday
morning and went directly to prayer. Immediately, I sensed a strong
urgency from the LORD saying: "As the people of Egypt presented their
requests to Mubarak, I am calling on My people to rise up before me and
present their requests to me for their nation". I went on to hear the
LORD: "Let the Holy Council assemble". I didn't understand who this
Council was, but I knew in my heart that the LORD meant that there are
people in my land that are called by the LORD to stand before him as His
Holy Council with authority to make declaration over the land, to
establish the Kingdom in the land. My demands to the LORD were not
political by
nature. I prayed for "good news to the poor, freedom for the
oppressed, healing for the brokenhearted, and the acceptable year of the
LORD" as the Holy Spirit gave guidance. The LORD spoke to me the words
"JUSTICE" and "TRUTH". As I went to talk with Rania afterwards, she told
me that she had been awake all through the night, and that IT RAINED
around 12:45 am. It was very strong, but not for a very long time (a
few minutes). I knew then that it was the LORD. The LORD spoke Psalm
97:1-2:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The LORD reigns, let the earth be glad;</div>
<div> let the distant shores rejoice.</div>
<div>Clouds and thick darkness surround him;</div>
<div> righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.</div>
<div>Indeed, there had been unusual clouds and very thick fog in
December over Cairo, unprecedented in frequency and intensity. Again,
the words TRUTH (or righteousness in the English translation) and
JUSTICE resounded.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>As Rania and I followed the unfolding of events including the
announced change in government and president Mubarak's speech, we
wondered why the international news media is focusing only on the
thousands in Tahrir square who are escalating their demands and refusing
dialogue. The news media is reporting this as "the people of Egypt"
wanting Mubarak to leave immediately. Did they ask the "people of
Egypt?". For one, they did not ask me! Where are those, like myself,
that want change and reform, but accept the changes that Mubarak is
proposing, and want a peaceful transition through elections in
September?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>We decided to take to the streets to voice our opinion. On Tuesday
February 1st we went to Mustafa Mahmoud square in Mohandessin. There
were about one thousand people there around 3:30 pm. (yes, we broke the
curfew). the crowd grew to about 2500 by 5:00 pm. People were calling
their friends over the phone telling them to come. We left at about
6:30 pm and returned yesterday, Wednesday, starting at 11:00 am. The
small group had swelled to TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE standing together
with banners saying things like:</div>
<div>- yes to stability, yes to Mubarak</div>
<div>- give change a chance</div>
<div>- we are sorry Mr. president</div>
<div>- we accept dialogue, we trust you</div>
<div>- no to ElBaradei, no to the Muslim brotherhood (many like this one)</div>
<div>- we are the Egyptians, where is Al-Jazeera, let them come and see</div>
<div>- no to corruption, no to vandalism</div>
<div>- we got what we asked the president for, so why are people still in Tahrir? Who are they? What do they want?</div>
<div>etc., etc., etc.</div>
<div>By 2:00 pm, the crowd had grown to SEVERAL HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF
PEOPLE, maybe up to a million, stretching from Sphinx square to Sudan
street. We had a great sense of unity and victory. We met with people
who were in the original protest in Tahrir square who decided to join us
saying: we got what we asked for, and now we accept Mubarak's changes
and proposals".</div>
<div> </div>
<div>We left around 4:15 pm. The numbers had grown even more, POSSIBLY
OVER A MILLION. As we drove home we saw the same slogans on banners all
over the city, on cars, on walls, on shop windows. We learned that
similar demonstrations are taking place ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, IN MAY
DIFFERENT CITIES. THIS IS THE CRY OF THE PEOPLE OF EGYPT THAT IS BEING
TOTALLY IGNORED BY THE INTERNATIONAL NEWS MEDIA. Is this on purpose??!!!
I am perplexed!!! I am wondering: How come CNN, the BBC, and others
are reporting ONLY the anti-government protests as the voice of the
people? This is not JUSTICE, this is not TRUTH. There have been reports
that these people are being paid by the government. NOT TRUE! I was
there with many many others. I SAW THE STREETS.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Now to the situation in Tahrir square. Only a few people
(hundreds?) are still there from the original protesters. They have been
slowly replaced by other HIGHLY ORGANIZED GROUPS. They all have the
same model of cell phones. They all have the same blankets (eye
witnesses). THESE ARE NOT THE PEOPLE OF EGYPT. Some witnesses claim
that they don't look Egyptians, and don't sound Egyptians (different
accent, different dialect). THIS IS A BIG ORGANIZED COUP TO TRY TO
CONVINCE THE WORLD THROUGH THE MEDIA THAT EGYPT WANTS MUBARAK TO GO, AND
THE MEDIA IS PART OF THE DECEPTION. People in Tahrir square are
escalating the situation on purpose to topple President Mubarak FOR
THEIR OWN HIDDEN AGENDAS. This is TYPICAL OF THE MUSLIM BROTHERS, AND
EVERYBODY IN THE STREETS OF CAIRO KNOWS THIS. We heard people on the
streets saying that the plot to take over the country is now clear. THE
INTERNATIONAL MEDIA DON'T WANT
YOU TO KNOW THIS. The escalation of violence in Tahrir square is
because of this. Egyptians who love Egypt, the millions that took to
the streets yesterday, want this to end. They fully understand that
president Mubarak is between a rock and a hard place, that he cannot
quench the unrest in Tahrir through the army, so the people want to go
to Tahrir to disperse the crowds there by themselves. People in Tahrir
are vastly outnumbered. If Egyptians go the Tahrir square to take
control of the situation, more chaos will erupt, giving a chance to the
international media to blame the President even more.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If Egypt falls, then neighbouring countries are going to fall one
after the other. WE NEED PRAYER, WE ASK FOR TRUTH, WE ASK FOR JUSTICE,
and above all LORD, in wrath, REMEMBER MERCY. Stand with us. The
Lord calls Egypt "My people". He is calling on His HOLY COUNCIL in the
land of Egypt to stand before Him, to make declarations in the
heavenlies to establish a new 'constitution' in the land based on the
principles of the Word of God, to establish a 'new foundation' for His
kingdom to come. Pray for the schemes of the enemy to be annulled and
voided. Pray for deception to be exposed. We humble ourselves and
pray. We seek the Face of the LORD. We turn from our wicked ways.
LISTEN TO US LORD, FORGIVE US, HEAL OUR LAND. In the Name of Jesus.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>In Him, standing for God's purposes in Egypt,</div>
