ESCAPE FROM PLANET EGYPT
Prophecy students that have been paying close attention to the prophetic signs
of the times will have long ago noticed how Egypt continually
resurfaces as a “type” and similitude of the world. For many years,
Christian pastors have preached sermons that point out the fact that,
throughout scripture, Egypt symbolizes the world.
As prophecy writer Wilbur Smith put it back in 1957, "Egypt
represents the world and the pull of the world, a magnetism from which Israel
was never fully loosened." 1. Just like the ancient Hebrews that were
delivered from the bondage of slavery, the Scriptures repeatedly instruct us to
come out of “Egypt” so that we may “Passover” to the
promised land.
In this context, Egypt is also a type of sin and of the
world system. The Egyptian handmaiden Hagar was, for example, the
“mother of disbelief” as she bore Ishmael to Abraham, when he
doubted God's promise to give him a son through Sara.
The Egyptian pretender to the throne of the world, the Pharaoh, was the
chief oppressor of God's covenant people in the Old Testament. The Egyptian
priests sought to counterfeit the miracles of God manifested in Moses at the
deliverance of his people.
But do the analogies end here? Or are there even deeper mysteries and
clues to the final days that have been obscured by the ages? Egypt provides
another primary key in unlocking an understanding of our existence under God,
and the times of the end of the age. In fact, my research shows that the
analogies continue far beyond a simple characterization of saved versus
unsaved. They show that Egypt is more specifically the type of the
deception intrinsic to the world during the last days.
To study Egypt is to seek to unravel the history of the deception of Planet
Earth, for the great civilization on the banks of the Nile is central
to understanding how the Devil has deceived the nations. Most Christians
already know that apostate religion, and the so-called New Age
theological precepts, were all derived from Egypt.
The attempted corruption of the Bible through the infiltration of faulty
translations and manuscripts originated in Egypt, to say nothing
of the False Doctrine which has deeply penetrated organized Christianity. Many
readers of Christian Media are aware that we have proven that extremely
popular doctrines (such as the Rapture Cult doctrine of
“Dispensationalism”) have been conclusively demonstrated to have
originated in Old Covenant era Egyptian Gnostic religion (see the book The
Culting of Christianity by the present author). The fact is, the
prophecies of world history and political dominion in the books of Daniel
and Revelation, all take us back to Egypt as the first
kingdom with a throne that dominated the known world.
Egypt is in a class all by herself in the study of archaeology and ancient
civilizations. As we shall soon see, the entire premise of history is founded
on a series of false conclusions based on data related to early Egyptian
historical accounts. These distortions in our modern understanding of the
scholarly accounts of ancient times, have enabled Satan to
obscure the truth about God and his Word - and Egypt is the tool the
Devil has used in his attack on the Word of God.
The foundation of all ancient historical understanding is based on two
seemingly different historical streams of information. The first is found
largely in the Old Testament, and other extra-biblical Jewish commentaries and
writings. These are, obviously, written from the perspective of the ancient
Israelites. The other historical body of information is from the perspective of
the ancient Egyptians. The Egyptian accounts are widely dispersed through
ancient lists of kings and priests, historical monuments, inscriptions, stelae,
tombs, & pyramids. Historical records & archaeological information from
ancient Egypt are extensive and well documented.
The conflict that has raged from the beginning is the fact that the two
accounts are almost completely contradictory. The parallel chronological
timelines are uneven and chaotic. When there are dates that are seemingly well
established in one history, the parallel account doesn't match up at all. The conclusion
reached by the majority of scholars is that the evidence is saying that one or
the other account must be fictional, or riddled with errors.
For example, one Egyptian document will speak of a certain
historical account – say, a famous battle with a people that sound
very much like the Israelites; but the Bible says that during that period,
there was peace. Or the Bible will describe a certain tribal
settlement during a very specific time period, while the archaeological records
show no hint of any Israelite occupation in that strata.
Another seeming contradiction is found in Old Testament prophecy. In both
Jeremiah and Ezekiel, we have prophecies that say
that Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon would go to war with Egypt; yet in the
Egyptian accounts, there is apparently no record of such an incursion. And what
of the Exodus account - the foundational event in the Old
Testament?
The Bible says that Egypt was completely and incontrovertibly decimated
through 10 cataclysmic plagues. The book of Exodus further
states that the entire Egyptian army and their god-king, the Pharaoh, drowned
when the supernaturally elevated waIls of the Red Sea collapsed on the
pursuing Egyptians, after the fleeing Israelites had escaped. Yet
the Egyptologists uniformly state that there is no Egyptian historical record
of such a catastrophe. How can this be?
Because of the widespread dissemination of these apparent historical
inconsistencies and discrepancies, the overwhelming majority of teachers,
scientists, linguistics experts, archaeology professors, and scholars of every
discipline believe the Egyptian accounts are accurate; and because these
secular professionals are predisposed to reject the staggering and often
miraculous claims of the Bible (and thereby rid themselves of the conviction of
the Holy Spirit that is seeking to point them to the truth), these Egyptian
historical records have been endorsed and practically canonized by modern man.
Conversely, ”religious” accounts from the same period (as recorded
in the Old Testament), have been relegated to the trash bin as unscientific and
contradictory legend and myth.
The vehicle that has seemingly accomplished this overwhelming denial of
the truth of ancient history as documented in the Bible has been Egypt.
In fact, Egyptology is arguably the largest single field of specialization in
the study of antiquities. The study of the contradictions alone has baffled
students of both historical timelines for ages. How ironic that the explanation
for all of these anomalies was originally published over 60 years ago; and yet
the same scholars who have rejected the historicity of the Scriptures have
rejected the truth of why these seeming contradictions exist.
Immanuel Velikovsky (1895-1980) was the first scholar to fully understand
and explain the puzzle of ancient history. Velikovsky determined that the
chronological timelines between the two historical chronologies were shifted by
early archaeologists as they erroneously interpreted what they thought the data
was telling them.
In a now obscure series of books named after the first of numerous
volumes entitled Ages In Chaos, Velikovsky convincingly showed
that an error in the Egyptian chronology of about 400 to 700 years has caused
all the confusion. As each chronological event in the two parallel accounts
occurs, the two accounts consistently differ because one of them is always
recounting events that are out of sequence with its parallel by a period of
approximately 400 to 700 years. It is not an accident that such a historical
dislocation has occurred.
To try to grasp the scope & severity of the miscalculation I’m
describing, let's suggest that a great cataclysm – such as World War III
has occurred – and it has destroyed vast portions of the world.
Let’s further suppose that in the far distant future, historians are
trying to reconstruct the history of England and America. A rough analogy would
be if the historians were looking at British accounts that were dated 1341,
and then subsequently came across partial records that recorded a group of
American historical events that actually occurred in 1941. The
American records had no dates and, because the language had distinct
similarities, the scholars theorized that the American events of 1941
paralleled the British events that occurred in 1341.
Using this distorted premise of history, Velikovsky
states the following:
"The
Churchill of 1341 could not have visited this country, but must have visited
some other land...and met its chief. Another chief, not Franklin Delano
Roosevelt of Washington, would live in history as cosigner of a charter with
Churchill of Britain in 1341. But as American records would speak of Churchill
who crossed the ocean in the early forties of the twentieth century, British
history would also have a Churchill II, six hundred years after the first
one." 2.
Please allow me to elaborate on this scenario. If Churchill was mentioned
by name in the American accounts, but the British accounts simply mentioned a
king, the scholars might have assumed that Churchill was that king because
they've assumed the two chronologies are parallel. Then, when more records
are discovered at a later time, and they clearly document that a man named
Churchill was prominent 600 years later, they would have assumed he was another
Churchill. Furthermore, they probably would have called him Churchill II
instead of reconsidering the original chronology.
Velikovsky's revisionist explanation has not only demonstrated that many
dynasties have been counted twice, but even some ancient empires have
been counted twice, because different accounts use different linguistic
versions of their names.
Velikovsky showed, for example, that the so-called Hittite Empire
never even existed, but was really the neo-Babylonian empire simply noted under
another one of their national names. To further illustrate this complicated
scenario, let us go back to our future analogy.
Archaeologists dig up extensive histories of the Americans
1,000 years in the future, and they find numerous references to the Californians.
Because they don't have anything to show that California was part of America,
they try to place the history of the “nation” of California before
or after the history of America. In other words, instead of counting their
histories concurrently, they instead record them consecutively. So now you have
200 plus years of American history, plus 150 years of California history for a
total of 370 years. This error then forces the scholars to work up all sorts of
scenarios to explain an additional 150 years of history which never actually
expired.
Multiply this error a thousand fold and you can see why the accounts are
so distorted. As scholars continue to study the histories of Egypt
and her neighbors, the error is continually compounded because each historical
key event, dynasty, or empire is effectively doubled because of
the original error. This means the historical accounts would be so convoluted
that the scholars would be compelled to put forth all sorts of exotic
explanations to explain just why various historical names continually show up
again 600 or 700 years later (and they do). Each of these historical
“doubles” then is, in effect, considered a descendant of himself.
Another factor is when an archaeological artifact with no firm dating is
discovered, the first thing the experts do is try to synchronize it with the
existing understanding of the Egyptian records, in order to
anchor its place in time.
Immanuel Velikovsky (and others following in his footsteps) has shown
this false chronological sequencing has contaminated the studies of all ancient
nations such as the Babylonians, the Assyrians, and the Persians, in addition
to the Egyptians. Because every ancient historical chronology is synchronized
to the Egyptian timeline (instead of the accurate Hebrew timeline), our
entire perception of ancient history has been completely distorted; and
accordingly, man's "foolish heart was darkened" 3. As we shall see,
This massive deception has profoundly affected important aspects of the Bible.
Once the two chronologies have been properly re-synchronized by
conforming the Egyptian chronology to the Hebrew
accounts in the Bible, all the various events begin to mirror each other in the
two chronologies.
The characters frequently have different names, but that is not at all
uncommon in ancient societies. The Bible might have one name for an
Egyptian king, while the parallel Egyptian account uses many different names.
For instance, ancient kings were known to have throne names, religious names,
dynastic names, and so forth. There are documented cases of several Pharaohs
with as many as 30 different names. If these names are stretched
end to end consecutively, you can have an entire dynasty of 30 kings listed when
actually there was only one!
The original chronological errors go all the way back to the time of the
pyramids in Egypt; however the dating of the pyramids can actually help us to
accurately re-synchronize the two histories. While there is evidence that the
pyramids were somehow related to the Semitic designed ziggurats of Mesopotamia
(the Tower of Babel was a ziggurat), scholars aren't sure how the
design got imported into Egypt. This is a first rate clue,
because the pyramids show up rather suddenly during the start of the 3rd
Egyptian dynasty.
Another historical revisionist named David Fry has noted that 3
things had to occur for the pyramid age to begin: They needed a technical
mastermind to design them, there had to be a social need (or possibly a crisis)
that was intense enough to unify the people into a common goal, and most
importantly, the royal family had to have the wealth to finance such an
undertaking.
Egyptian historical accounts provide part of the picture, but logic and
familiarity with the Scriptures will help us to synchronize the time with the
Biblical accounts. The Egyptian histories specify that the first pyramid was
designed by Egypt's first Grand Vizier. A very wise man named Imhotep,
his name appears in the Egyptian archaeological records on the pedestal of a
statue in the court of the step pyramid (the first pyramid). According to most
authorities, this Imhotep came to power under Pharaoh Zoser, just
before a great 7-year famine. 4. The accounts say that this famine occurred
because the Nile failed to rise.
The Egyptian Stele of the Famine further states that the Pharaoh
asked Imhotep how to deal with the looming problem of the famine.
Other historians associate Imhotep with Pathotep, who was also a
Grand Vizier of Egypt during ancient times. They are very likely one and the
same for the second name simply adds the Egyptian god name Path (or Ptah) to
the individual's name.
The interesting thing about Imhotep/Pathotep is that the Egyptian
accounts say he was "a foreigner," who lived to be 110. The famous
Egyptologist James Breasted wrote the following”
"The
success of Zoser's efforts was perhaps in part due to the counsel of the great
wise-man, Imhotep, who was one of his chief advisers. In priestly wisdom...and
architecture, this remarkable figure...was never forgotten." 5.
Egypt’s historical records show that Imhotep was
among the most beloved leaders in all of Egyptian history. He was so favored by
Pharaoh himself that the king gave him the daughter of the high priest of
Heliopolis to be his wife.
According to another of Imhotep's biographers, one of his greatest
political achievements was the inauguration of the first income tax in Egypt.
She writes that this
"...income
tax in Egypt was one-fifth of the harvest and of the increase of cattle, plus
several months of labor each year upon great public works by all able bodied
men." 6.
Yet another historian writes that,
"The
Egyptians ascribed the invention of the art of building with stone to Imhotep,
Vizier and architect of King Zoser, who reigned about 50 years before the
building of the great pyramid...the Egyptians described Imhotep as a sort of
Leonardo da Vinci of Egypt, mathematician, scientist, engineer, and
architect." 7.
This statement clearly puts Imhotep in the time of the building of
the first pyramid. Although there is a tremendous body of additional evidence
about Imhotep/Pathotep, by now it should be obvious that Imhotep was,
indeed, the son of Jacob described in the Bible as JOSEPH.
The Scriptures say that Joseph came to prominence in Pharaoh's court by
interpreting a startling & vivid prophetic dream of the king. The prophetic
dream forecast a great 7-year famine that was to fall on Egypt. Joseph &
Imhotep both came to power as a result of his counsel to the Pharaoh amidst a
great 7-year famine.
The Egyptian records show Imhotep created the
first income tax and that it was "one-fifth." The book of Genesis
says that income tax came to Egypt because "...Joseph made it a law over
the land of Egypt unto this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth
part...." 8.
The Egyptian inscriptions show that Imhotep/Pathotep was
the first Grand Vizier of Egypt while the Genesis record
says that Pharaoh set Joseph "...over all the land of Egypt" and said
to him "...only in the throne will I be greater than thou." 9.
Imhotep/Pathotep's biographers say he "...was not a native
Egyptian," 10. while the Bible also clearly shows that Joseph was not an
Egyptian, but a Hebrew. The Egyptian documents say that Imhotep/Pathotep lived
to be 110. Genesis says that "...Joseph died, being an
hundred and ten years old...." 11. The Egyptian accounts say that Pharaoh
held Imhotep in such high esteem that he gave him the daughter of the high
priest of Heliopolis as his wife. The Bible says Pharaoh gave Joseph
"Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On." 12. The city of On
was also known as Heliopolis.
There are many, many more compelling reasons to connect the two. Why have
I gone into such detail? Because the conventional historical chronology put
forth by authorities everywhere says that Joseph could not
possibly be Imhotep because they are sure that they lived about 600 to
700 years apart. But did they? James Lloyd To Be Continued FOOTNOTES 1. Egypt In Biblical Prophecy, Wilbur M Smith, 1957, page 55 2. Ages In Chaos, Immanuel Velikovsky, published in 1952,
