ESCAPE FROM PLANET EGYPT
Part II
In our opening essay on how the Egyptian historical accounts have been misdated, we indicated the Spirit of the Age moved in this direction in order to invalidate the Hebrew records found in the Old Testament. In Part I of Escape From Planet Egypt, we showed how the Egyptian historical records concerning the Step Pyramid (the first pyramid) indicate a foreigner named Imhotep was the architect.
The Egyptian records themselves tell us Imhotep lived to be 110, and became the nation's leader, answerable only to the Pharaoh. He came to power because of his able handling of a great famine, and was given the daughter of the high priest as a reward. These facts (and many more) are also carried in the book of Genesis, which tells the tale of Joseph – who was sold into slavery to the Egyptians.
As most Biblically literate believers are aware, Joseph came to power because of his management of a great famine, and the book of Genesis tells us he was given the daughter of the high priest as a reward. He also lived to be 110.
Part I also showed how secular archaeology and other disciplines tell us that in spite of the precise parallels between the two accounts, they cannot be the same individual because they lived in different periods. This discrepancy is largely related to the kings-list that has been handed down by the ancient Egyptian historian Manetho. In choosing to disbelieve the Biblical statements, in effect, the scholars have denied the supernatural inspiration of the Scriptures. At the same time, they choose to believe in the accuracy of a history written by an obscure Egyptian hardly anyone has ever heard of.
The truth is, the "experts" have followed the Egyptian historical accounts and used that information to discredit the veracity of the Hebrew account - which we know as the Bible. Because the Egyptian timeline consistently conflicts with the Hebrew timeline, researchers routinely conclude they can trust the Egyptian data, but not the Biblical data. The vehicle that was used to achieve this corruption of data is found in the historical records from ancient Egypt.
Archaeologists, linguists, paleontologists, and practically every other form of science associated with antiquarian research has been affected by this corruption of our historical perceptions. The problem is simple: in one era of the Egyptian account, the history would describe a great war, but in the parallel account in the Bible, there was a time of peace.
We've already noted how the Egyptian inscriptions provided multiple names for the various dynastic kings, and these names were placed consecutively in the kings-list when actually only one king was in view. This caused the chronology to be non-synchronized with the Biblical account by approximately the same time period - anywhere from 400 to 700 years.
The error has compounded itself because the stature of significant numbers of scholars is now at stake. Thus, when an honest researcher recognizes the problem of the conventional chronology, he or she is "encouraged" to rethink his findings to compel them to conform to the long standing error in order to protect vested career interests. To make matters worse, studies of adjacent cultural time-lines such as the Persian, Assyrian, Grecian, and Hittite have all synchronized their historical accounts to conform to the "established" Egyptian timelines - thus throwing practically all ancient accounts except the Hebrew into a confusing inconsistency.
Immanuel Velikovsky (1895-1980) discovered the error and in a herculean effort at historical revisionism, reconstructed the timelines of Egypt, Persia, Babylon, Greece, Mycenae, and many more. Velikovsky's historical revisionist books were entitled Ages In Chaos, The Peoples Of The Sea, Ramses II And His Time, The Assyrian Conquest, and The Dark Age Of Greece, to name a few.
The beauty of his work is that it unmasked the mechanism that has been used to distort the historical reality of the Biblical account. It also allows us to see how the secular and pagan accounts, once properly re-synchronized, validate the Holy Bible. Using this revisionist approach, we can see that it's obvious the beloved Egyptian figure Imhotep was actually Joseph - the son of Jacob whose life is exquisitely described in the book of Genesis. Furthermore, as we move past Joseph & Imhotep's time in our research, we expect to find similarly exciting "matches" in the two historical timelines.
Indeed, the re-synchronization of historical events in the two parallel accounts actually becomes more and more difficult to simply contrive some sort of connection. If the parallel accounts continue to match up (and they do), the odds of it being coincidental go off the chart. In other words, if Joseph was indeed Pharaoh Zoser's Grand Vizier Imhotep, then the events that occurred in the next generation after Joseph must also line up with the events that occurred in the next generation after Imhotep.
Therefore, as these historical accounts are reconstructed, and the various events continue to match, the chances of the resynchronized histories coinciding by accident is multiplied exponentially. In short, each additional generation with a likely historical corollary proves the revisionist theory correct a thousand times over.
The scriptures tell how, after the time of Joseph, another Pharaoh came to power that did not honor Joseph or his descendants in Egypt - to say nothing of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The Hebrews fell into slavery, and after many years, God delivered them through Moses amid many miraculously generated plagues. This account is the foundation of the Hebrew religion for it marks the deliverance from slavery for the Israelites and the destruction of their Egyptian oppressors.
If we think this through logically, because it is self evident that the Biblical Joseph was the Egyptian Imhotep – and Imhotep designed the first pyramid – this places the Israelite slaves in Egypt during the construction of the pyramids.
The logic is inescapable. Secular thought not only doubts the existence of Israel in Egypt in the first place, they adamantly claim that if the Israelites were in Egypt, they must have been there at a different time than the building of the pyramids!
Secular historians tell us that there is no evidence that the Exodus from Egypt ever took place. The Bible says that Egypt was horribly judged and virtually destroyed as a nation. In a very detailed account, the Bible informs us that God sent tremendous plagues and disasters upon the land; yet the conventional historians say there is no trace of such a cataclysm.
However, utilizing Velikovky's timeline revisions, we find a radically different scenario. The truth is, at the time of the Exodus and the destruction of Egypt through the plagues sent by God, there was an Egyptian writer named Ipuwer. Writing in the early media of papyrus, this ancient Egyptian recorded his experience of a time when Egypt was decimated through strange plagues; but the "scholars" have dismissed any connection between the two because they were already convinced that the Exodus never happened!
Describing the terrible cataclysm that struck Egypt, Ipuwer's papyrus tells us that "...Plague is throughout the land. Blood is...everywhere." 1. At the same time, the book of Exodus says "...there was blood throughout all the land." 2. Ipuwer's papyrus says "The River Is Blood" 3. while the associated biblical account said "All the waters that were in the river were turned to blood." 4.
Detail after detail matches up between the ancient Egyptian's words and the Biblical account found in the Hebrew work known as Exodus. Ipuwer writes
"Behold, cattle are left to stray" 5. while the Bible says "...he that regarded not the word of the Lord left his cattle in the field." 6. Ipuwer said the catastrophe was so great that "He who places his brother in the ground is everywhere," 7. while the Exodus account said "...there was not a house where there was not one dead." 8.
The simple fact is, the Ipuwer papyrus is an eyewitness account of the Passover that was recorded from the Egyptian point of view. Incredibly, the Exodus from Egypt that followed the amazing story of the Passover is also recorded in an Egyptian historical inscription.
At the border of Egypt and Palestine is the shrine of El-Arish. Chiseled in stone, it is an Egyptian monument describing a great catastrophe in which the king of Egypt died. The Egyptian text describes a time of great darkness with the following statements:
"The land was in great affliction. Evil fell on this earth...It was a great upheaval in the residence...nobody left the palace...neither the men nor the gods could see the faces of their next." 9.
The same aspect of the El-Arish account is described in the book of Exodus, as the Scripture gives us this statement:
"...and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days; They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place...." 10.
The similarities continue from the stone inscription to the Biblical tale - yet the major media has never told the public of these discoveries, and the archeological community has remained quiet concerning the suppression of the facts in this most important information. And there is more.
The Egyptian El-Arish inscription goes on to tell how the Pharaoh perished in a "whirlpool" while fighting against "evil-doers." The inscription goes on to specify just how the Pharaoh died.
"His majesty leapt into the so-called Place of the Whirlpool." 11.
This is simply astonishing - to say nothing of infuriating. After all, here is a secular historical artifact that plainly confirms that the Exodus occurred - right down to the detail of how the Pharaoh drowned, and yet the scholarly "community" has relegated this important record to obscurity. Why? Because it supports the truth of the Biblical account.
The inscription at El-Arish provides an incredibly important detail in that it actually names the location where the Pharaoh died. Amazingly, this Egyptian inscription gives us the same name that is found in the Holy Bible, and it confirms that this is, indeed, an Egyptian account of the Exodus. The stone shrine says
"His Majesty [here words are missing] finds on this place called Pi-Kharoti."12.
The Exodus says "...the Egyptians pursued after them...and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pi-ha-hiroth." 13. Pi-Kharoti is Pi-Khiroth in the Hebrew text.
Because the establishment "scholars" are convinced that their historical timelines are correct, they are equally convinced that the Bible cannot be historically accurate. Because of this intellectual bias, they simply discount these striking similarities because they believe the two accounts are, once again, centuries apart.

Christian Media also has a regularly issued companion letter commenting on the material seen in Part II of ESCAPE FROM PLANET EGYPT. The latest edition of that letter (entitled the Christian Median MINISTRY STATUS REPORT), has even more prophetic projections concerning the amazing explosion of prophetic understanding which has occurred at the Christian Media ministry. Further, Christian Media has an eye-opening, on-demand video elaborating on the crucial facts seen in the above article — which also includes predictions concerning the enormous turn of events associated with the present political tumult found in America – especially with reference to the American recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of the political state known as Israel. However, the enemy has already sown tares in this vineyard, and we choose not to provide the website links here, as those who think they're doing God service are tirelessly trying to excise the truth from the Internet (John 16:2).
Viewing of the online video on this Subject is completely free (as is the receipt of this weekly Communique), and we greatly desire as many as possible will see it (a new video will replace it in another week), but to examine this Subject further, we ask for a green light from you to send you the link. Further, because there are many vested interests which are threatened by the content the Christian Media ministry provides, regular efforts are made to penetrate our ranks – including hacker attacks. Incredibly, we've already proven that "Christian" parties have actually hired hackers to take down our websites (Galatians 4:29). Thus, we desire to weed out those who are insincere about further examinations of the truth of the Gospel, so we send the links to our Internet materials via surface mail.
As we move through the Spiritual wilderness behind the veil of this world, even our Internet domains are Subject to be seized by the dark powers, so we urge all those who hear the voice of the LORD in these Communiques to seek the LORD while He may yet be found. As those who have inherited the light of God through Christ's marvelous work,
"[We] must work the works of him that sent [us], while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work" (John 9:4).
