what does Egypt signify in the bible?

Answer 1

too much for me to go into

Answer 2

Prophetic and Symbolic References. A large number of the references to Egypt are in pronouncements of judgment, couched in symbolic language. (Eze 29:1-7; 32:1-32) To the Israelites, Egypt represented military strength and power through political alliance, so that dependence on Egypt became symbolic of dependence on human power instead of on Jehovah. (Isa 31:1-3) But, at Isaiah 30:1-7, Jehovah showed that Egypt’s might was more in appearance than in fact, calling her “Rahab—they are for sitting still [“Rahab-do-nothing,” JB].” (Compare Ps 87:4; Isa 51:9, 10.) Along with the many condemnations, however, there were promises that many out of “Egypt” would come to know Jehovah, to the extent that it would be said: “Blessed be my people, Egypt.”—Isa 19:19-25; 45:14.

Egypt is mentioned as part of the realm of the symbolic “king of the south.” (Da 11:5, 8, 42, 43) At Revelation 11:8 unfaithful Jerusalem, where the Lord Jesus Christ was impaled, is “in a spiritual sense” called Egypt. This is appropriate when we consider that unfaithful Jerusalem religiously oppressed and enslaved the Jews. Also, the first Passover victims were slain in Egypt, while the antitypical Passover Lamb, Jesus Christ, was killed at Jerusalem.—Joh 1:29, 36; 1Co 5:7; 1Pe 1:19.

In the Bible Egypt is actually Egypt itself. There is no trick.

Answer 5

Why do you think it signifies anything other than Egypt?

Answer 6

Egypt represents the world and all the sin that tries to bring us into bondage, and make us slaves to the desires of the flesh, Or you could look at it as history records it. A very cruel king who made slaves of the Jews. Just as the drugs drinks lust money tries to consume all of us today! However just as GOD freed the JEWS, Christ who was GOD in the flesh died a horrible death to free us from the lust and sins we commit! If we can accept him for who he is and what his purpose on the earth was!
