Egypt represents the world system. It speaks of the treasures of this present world. Consumerism, materialism, greed, commercialism, and turning pleasure into a god are the outstanding features of this system. The Christian living in Egypt lives for pleasure, puts earthly pursuits above the pursuit of the Lord, and sinks his life into acquiring “name, fame, and game.” Children of the living God should never find themselves living in Egypt. It is the city of bondage. Hence, when a Christian lives in Egypt, he is a slave.
