These statements or quotes were withdrawn from "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" by Jonathan Edwards.
1: "...the fire pent up in their own hearts is struggling to break out: and they have no interest in any Mediator, there are no means within reach that can be any security to them. In short, they have no refuge, nothing to take hold of, all that preserves them every moment is the mere arbitrary will, and uncovenanted, unobliged forbearance of an incensed God."
2: "...and God is dreadfully provoked, his anger is as great towards them as to those that are actually suffering the executions of the fierceness of his wrath in hell, and they have done nothing in the least to appease or abate that anger, neither is God in the least bound by any promise to hold them up one moment; the devil is waiting for them, hell is gaping for them, the flames gather and flash about them, and would fain lay hold on them, and swallow them up".
<span>3: "That world of misery, that lake of burning brimstone, is extended abroad under you. There is the dreadful pit of the glowing flames of the wrath of God; there is hell's wide gaping mouth open; and you have nothing to stand upon, nor any thing to take hold of, there is nothing between you and hell but the air; it is only the power and mere pleasure of God that holds you up."</span>
The reason Egypt and Nubia were interdependent, meaning that both countries had to rely on one another for certain resources that were needed, was because both countries needed each others help. Numbia had more trade routes than Egypt, had natural resources they were interested in, and could also help fight off any invaders of Egypt.
