In that
day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria. The Assyrians will go to
Egypt and the Egyptians to Assyria. The Egyptians and Assyrians will worship
together. In
that day Israel will be the third, along with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing
on the earth. The Lord Almighty
will bless them, saying, “Blessed be Egypt my people, Assyria my handiwork, and
Israel my inheritance.” Isaiah 19:23-25
Today there are Christians living in
both nations. While they are
predominantly Muslim, many vibrant Christian communities have existed in those
two nations.
