A theme
that I have seen over and over throughout the scriptures is that Egypt is more
often used as a symbol than it is as an actual country (although it is being
used as both here). Babylon seems to be
the symbol of wickedness, but Egypt
(due to its history and proclivities) is more often used as the symbol of false
priesthoods, hypocrisy within the Church, and so forth. Understanding that, and reading it with both
of these symbols in mind, these chapters really open up and a lot of things are
found in them.
