As Father Makary Younan, the prominent Coptic priest, received a question about the second coming of Lord Jesus Christ, he said we are seeing more and more signs which prove it is at hand. He connected the transfer of the American Embassy to Jerusalem and the talk about building the temple of Solomon. Furthermore, he said that the mark of the beast He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. (Revelation 13: 16)

Ahmed Mohamed Fahmy was preparing to return to Egypt from the United States, but he needed a bag to collect his clothes. He went to a store and bought one to discover that it was not totally empty. The inner pocket of the bag had an envelope containing $ 10,000 in currency. The signature of its owner was found on the envelope: James Noble.

See, the LORD rides on a swift cloud and is coming to Egypt. The idols of Egypt tremble before him, and the hearts of the Egyptians melt with fear. Jesus came to Egypt in order to establish a strong church and to abolish idolatry.

There is no doubt that watching the World Cup Matches in Russia 2018 gives great impression and fun as always with FIFA World Cup tournaments. Such pleasure can be found everywhere through cheering and playing. Everyone has a favorite team to support.

The Egyptian Government has recently decided to take advantage of increasing prices of goods and services by also raising the gas prices too. Since President Sisi came into power in 2014, there has been no mercy or relief for the Egyptian population. He has led us into the toughest economic reform that Egypt has ever experienced. Having said that, we also do need to admit that nobody is against the economic reform in general, but rather, there needs to be a better way through reform without causing the Egyptians to hate their lives and feel instability and unsafe because they can t afford the basic cost of living.

Our beloved Egyptian Team has lost once again, this time against Uruguay, quite similar to the same situation as 1992. With all my respect to the Egyptian team and Coaches, in my opinion, a game of defence will not win any matches. This will result in Egypt not moving past qualification and will end the Egyptian dream to go to the next stage. Russia and Uruguay will become number 1 in the group, and its nearly impossible for Egypt to beat Russia. Furthermore, if we beat Russia by some miracle, it would have to be by at least 5, which is impossible.

It is a war that extends throughout the history of mankind. The devil is wandering as a lion to devour and swallow the believers. His work is seduction and destruction of human beings. Thus, he resists the will of God. However, we will triumph through God who supports and defends us who can t be defeated at the end since the liar will be defeated eventually.

Jesus Christ had a discussion with the Pharisees to convince them that doing good should not be limited to certain time. He told them that it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath since they thought they should do nothing on the Sabbath. I remembered this as the holy month of Ramadan comes to an end since it is considered a season for doing good in Egypt. Doing good should not be limited by a time or place. Jesus Christ said that we have the poor with us always (Matthew 26: 11) and we can do them good whenever we want.

Minister of Immigration Nabila Makram announced the launch of the second week of the second and third generations of Egyptians abroad from 16 to 21 July in Sharm El Sheikh in cooperation with the Well Spring Company for the establishment of sports camps. The conference includes history of Egypt and its pioneering role in the region and some of its sacrifices it has made over the ages.

During the speech of President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi at the swearing-in ceremony, I noticed his stress on the need to preserve the Egyptian identity. I stop at this term and this concept, as it is very important to pay attention to the president s speech including the problem of the Egyptian identity and how can we revive it. In my opinion, there is a big difference between the national identity and the intellectual identity. Such difference may not be recognized by those who hold conferences to talk about identity in front of the cameras.

The World cup is very close and all Egyptians are waiting this moment from 28 years ago. The last time the Egyptian team took part in the world cup was 1992. All Egyptians dream to see their team not just in the world cup but also to perform well and be able to go to the next stage in the world cup. Egyptian team should do their best to bring happiness to Egyptians in the mid of all crisis they are facing lately, especially the big hike in all goods prices.

In 2018, there were several Egyptians who specialized in hope making. On e of them is Mahmoud Wahid, president of Together to Save a Man institution. He said that he started this charity after he saw an old homeless man and decided with a group of his friends to help homeless people. Wahid explained that their facebook page is where people tell them about new homeless people in several governorates. The man calls the Egyptian president to afford accommodation for homeless people as their numbers are increasing. He also promised to spend the money he won on new places for the homeless.

Dear Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, pardon me for disagreeing with you in what you said on June 3rd in a television interview. Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayeb said that Christians failed to apply the Christian teaching to love their enemies and bless them. In December 2014, you said that generalization is a great mistake and now you do commit to this mistake since some Christians follow this teaching and others don t.

The Lord Jesus has risen from the dead and no one has risen like him. His resurrection was unique and had unprecedented features. Abba Takla, bishop of Dishna, in his article He has risen said that the Lord Jesus is the only one who has risen by his own power without asking anyone to pray for him, while the other resurrections miracles were performed by other person.

Jesus Christ entered Egypt two thousand years ago fleeing from oppression. Egypt was a safe place to visit. Thus, he did not flee to a city of Judea or Galilee. When the people of Israel came out of Egypt, their hearts were attached to Egypt and many times did they think about returning to Egypt. Furthermore, history mentions that opponents of the kings of Israel used to flee to Egypt. At that time, Jesus was a child accompanied by his family and stayed there for nearly three and a half years. During the visit he visited many places and performed a lot of miracles. Egyptians did not believe then in a divine religion, but were pagan. Yet, they welcomed him and treated him well unlike fanatics nowadays whom persecute Christians in Egypt.

Long time ago I have read that advice from one of the saint that say “ I regretted for talking so much, however, I never regretted for being silent. I always was trying to be so much careful and try to not say anything might even hurt anyone in my talk. Having said that, I have experienced lately saying something that hurt a colleague of my mine and once that happened I remembered the above say. Sometimes when you talk you don’t recognize that something might hurt someone even if you didn’t do that in purpose. That situation taught me that even you are very careful, you still can do many mistakes. In fact, Once I felt that I hurt my colleague, I went so quickly and I apologized and I have mentioned that I didn’t mean what I said, my colleague accepted my apology so quickly and even mentioned that he doesn’t think that I have said something wrong. In conclusion, I want to say that you can’t guarantee hindered percent that you will never say something could upset someone, however, you can guarantee to say “ sorry” when you fell you are mistaken.

As several churches are targeted by fanatics, Christian houses that contain churches as well are targeted to the church in your house (Philemon 1). Many Coptic Christian women are disappearing and after a little while they are declared newly converted Muslims. Thus, many people are talking about Islamization gangs of Christian girls and women. Such talk is not new, but what can such gangs benefit from what they do? First of all, they are expecting huge heavenly reward in Paradise according to their beliefs. Moreover, such reward is accompanied by a lot of money as a reward for their excellent job.

I am a big fan of Real Madrid football team and this love story began 45 years ago. However, I watched the latest game between Real and Liverpool to watch Mohammed Salah, the Egyptian football star who was unfortunately hit under the auspices of the referee which was horrible. In fact, Salah represents hope for Egyptians, who didn t care last Thursday for their economic problems nor the hot weather. Hey cared much about their hop represented in Salah.

Since our beloved newspaper Watani cares a lot about political party reform in Egypt and was named among our major concerns, we held a meeting with representatives of political parties to discuss their problems and future. The most recent editorial was published on 22 April 2018 under the title: “Time for Party reform”. It will also be the theme of a series of sessions of Watani Forum, the first of which was held some two weeks ago. The forum will be hosting representatives of Egypt s political parties with the aim of exploring the current party scene and figuring out the measures and moves needed to reform it in order to boast robust, effective parties in the future.

As everyone imagined that smart phones were driving us apart and making us isolated, other people decided to use and benefit from smart phones. One of those smart people is the actress Hend Sabry who launched a campaign during the holy month of Ramadan through a mobile application called Share The Meal .
