Egypt’s 40 Year Desolation

Q. I was reading your new article “Failed Prophecies” and I was wondering about Egypt being uninhabited for 40 years. Does this have to happen before the rapture and if not how could it happen? I believe that God fulfills everything he says so I just want to add this to my time line so to speak.

A. There are prophecies that will be fulfilled during the Millennium, and I believe that this may be one of them, perhaps as a result of the drought mentioned in Zechariah 14:18. While it’s possible that some additional prophecies of the Bible will be fulfilled before the Rapture, there are none that have to be.
