What nation did Jeroboam, before being King of Israel (northern tribes) spend time in?
And Jeroboam arose, and fled into Egypt,
1 Kings 11:40
(Egypt means in Scripture, spiritually, the secular world)
Where did Jeroboam reside in Israel?
Then Jeroboam built Shechem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt therein;
1 Kings 12:25
(Ephraim was the cornerstone tribe of the west side of the Sanctuary-symbolic for the people of God)
The point here is that people who spend time in "Egypt" infiltrate God's people and bring the worship styles of "Egypt" with them.
