Egypt ... Up in smoke.





EGYPT.
All the warning signs were there. Thousands of Muslim Brotherhood  supporters on the streets vowing to stay there until death.
Today, many hundreds had their death-wish fulfilled as the army and police forces moved in with  bulldozers, tear-gas and automatic weapons to clear the camps.

Chaos and carnage reign. Egypt's brief experiment with democracy seems to have flourished and faded within the space of a year.
Now what?

My own concern is for the eight million Coptic Christians who represent the world's oldest community of believers. They have been singled out for revenge by the Islamists for supporting the ouster of President Morsi.

Pray for them, as your brothers and sisters in Christ, for this is certainly the 'evil day' of which Paul speaks about in his epistle.
