Egyptand in Isaiah Prophecy

"…carry their riches upon the shoulders of young donkeys, and their treasures upon the humps of camels to a people [Egypt] that shall not profit them" (Isa. 30:6)?
This quote was taken from Ray's paper "When the Towers Fall";  I was listening to an interview on Sun News (Cdn Channel) where the question asked was something about foreign aid from USA being paid to mid east countries, is it working or worth it?...something along those lines;  the response:  US should cut if off now, billions of dollars are paid to these countries who do nothing or turn their backs against America and allies; they know they will get the money anyway; this aid is bankrupting America.....

This newscast led me to reread Ray's paper and, imo,  his interpretation of Isaiah's prophecy is right on the mark

Gina:
Correction:  HoneyLamb, I agree!

Shawn Fainn:
I don't have time to type out the full response that I'd like, but I just wanted to say..

Just because the prophesy has a real, literal, physical component to it doesn't negate the spiritual aspect.

The literal, physical towers were prophesied to fall, and the literal, physical towers did indeed fall. We give literal, physical riches to Egypt (and other enemies) just as the Scriptures states and it will not profit us. Why?

Well the spiritual aspect of this is the lack of FAITH in God. We've given our FAITH (our spiritual treasure) to our enemies (Egypt, etc) in an attempt to coerce them not to attack Israel, instead of trusting God.

So we didn't learn our lesson after the towers fell. The question is.. what comes next?

Gina:
(I realized today I really need to re-read that article!  Thanks for your patience everybody!)

 This could however be a fulfillment of the OUTWARD Jews giving their "riches" to the world.  I mean, there are INTERFAITH conferences between Christians and Muslims and Hindus to be "one."  Can't happen.  You can't MIX the faith of Christ with the beliefs of the Muslims and the Hindus, etc.  You wind up with an alloy.  That's why God said to the Jews of the OT -- your gold and silver will rust as a testimony AGAINST you.  They were mixing the TRUE riches with the bunk that came out of the "Egypt," and winding up with an ALLOY -- a metal that LOOKS like gold and silver, but because it has all these IMPURITIES in it -- it RUSTS.  Hence, it crumbles and FALLS.

(P.S.  The U.S. crumbled a lonnnng time ago, and the Twin Towers episode was the outward expression of what'd been "brewing" for decades in this "melting" pot called the UNITED ["united" my aunt fanny] States.)

Gina what you said reminds me of the dream in Daniel ,from Nebuchadnezzar where the legs and feet and toes were mixed elements and the stone smashed them. Maybe they are supposed to be an alloy just for that purpose???  Don't know just a thought Gods ways are much higher than mine and all of ours, just know that his plan is to save us all no matter what!  All things are for the good of us.
just my thoughts
