Miracle in Egypt
God performed a huge
miracle in the days of Caliph
Al Moez.
What is a Caliph?
A leader of Islam
This miracle actually
occurred in Cairo, Egypt. It
was done to save the
Christians that lived in Egypt
from further persecution.
The test
The Jewish minister obviously did
not believe a word of what Lord
Jesus Christ said, so he told the
Caliph to test the Christians and see
if this in fact will happen.
He told the Caliph to ask the
Christians to move the Mokattam
Mountain so that the air will be purer
and the weather nicer in Cairo.
He said that if it doesnt move
according to their verse that the
Caliph should take all the homes and
possessions for themselves and
drive the Christians out of the
country.

Conclusion
The person who walks with God has nothing to fear. If you look at Anba
Abram, he had so much reason to give up and turn and run away. But he
didnt! He told the Calipha to give him some time to find a solution.
We always say prayer and fasting are very important and here is a case
where it proved to be so crucial to the faith of the people.
Our Coptic church has gone through so much persecution, but throughout it
all we have stood firm and strong in our faith and trust in God and through
that Christ has delivered us and brought us through it all.
We should always thank God for everything he does for us, and realize how
important trusting Him no matter what the odds are against us because He
will help us overcome it all.
God is great, and mighty and can do anything even the things that we feel is
impossible. Nothing is impossible for lord Jesus Christ.
Memory Verse
The Lord shall fight for you, and you shall
hold your peace.
