Yeshayahu- Isaiah - Chapter 19
1. The harsh prophecy of Egypt; Behold the Lord is riding on a light cloud and He shall come to Egypt, and the idols of Egypt shall quake from before Him and the heart of the Egyptians shall melt in their midst.
2. And I will stir up Egyptians against Egyptians, and they shall war one man against his brother, and a man against his friend, a city against a city and a province against a province.

THE FUTURE OF THE MIDDLE EAST
by Walid Shoebat
...The most plausible outcome for Egypt’s chaos is a future election as demanded by world opinion, the outcome of which can be seen from the experience we had in the Palestinian elections, on which president George W. Bush insisted. The results ushered in a divide between Islamists and so-called moderate Palestinian Authority. Palestinians were killing Palestinians in the streets as Hamas ran rampant, executing other Muslims who didn’t agree with their agenda. But unlike that miniature state of psychosis, the scale of mayhem in Egypt will be immense! Egypt’s “democratic elections” will simply change one form of dictatorship into another!

פסוק ב, as you mentioned, is very interesting. As I mentioned in the update to my post, see also the Abravanel on that verse:
ReplyDeleteולפי שהיו במלכות מצרים מחוזות
מתחלפות ושרים שונים זכר הנביא שיתחדש ביניהם
איבה ושנאה באופן שילחמו איש באחיו ואיש ברעהו
עיר בעיר ממלכה בממלכה כי אף על פי שהמלכות
הכולל הוא אחד יש אדון מולך במדינה או מחוז
אחד ויש מולך במדינה או מחוז אחר וכן נאמר מלכי
כנען וכאלו יהיו למצרים שתי מלחמות אחת עם
האויבים הנכרים הבאים עליהם מחוץ ואחת בינם לבין
עצמם כי זהו מה שיעזור למהירות חרבנה
(It could be that the nation coming against them from the outside can be interpreted to be the U.S. or alternatively, maybe Iran.)
