Proud to be Egyptian

“You also committed harlotry with the Egyptians, your very fleshly neighbors, and increased your acts of harlotry to provoke Me to anger. ”
Ezekiel 16:26 (NKJV)

“Yet she became more and more promiscuous as she recalled the days of her youth, when she was a prostitute in Egypt. There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses.”
Ezekiel 23:19,20 (NIV)

Interpretation: Once you go Egyptian you don’t go back. (Not as catchy as the original). If it prophesied about then it is not a stereotype or myth but rather the truth for God speaks through the words of the prophets and in noo way can the Divine Inspiration of the Holy Spirit lead to falsehoods.Therefore the prophet spoke of one of the blessings set upon the Egyptian Nation. It also gives credence to a footnote in the Sir Richard Burton’s translation of “1001 Arabian Nights” where it states Egyptians are nothing more than whitewashed negroes.
So rejoice O, men and women of Egypt, for God has blessed us exceedingly.
