Both Testaments
Egypt
A prominent ancient nation and frequent adversary of Israel, serving as a symbol of bondage and worldly power.
Egypt is a major geopolitical power in Scripture, descending from Mizraim, the son of Ham. It serves as the site of Israel's enslavement and the setting for the Exodus, representing both a place of refuge and a source of idolatrous influence. Throughout the prophets, Egypt is frequently contrasted with God's sovereignty, ultimately serving as a prophetic archetype for spiritual captivity.
