“During the night Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, ‘Up! Leave my people, you and the Israelites! Go, worship the Lord as you have requested. Take your flocks and herds, as you have said, and go … There were about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides women and children.” Exodus 12:31-32, 37
WOW friends have I got an INCREDIBLE message for you today! It’s all about how the Bible is actually a HISTORY book. Yes, you heard me right. Along those lines, I discuss the potential identity of the Exodus Pharaoh with my friend Logan Kiesewetter in this week’s video linked below. OK now about that history stuff …
Did you know there is an INSANE amount of evidence showing that the stories we read every day in the Bible aren’t just folklore but historical FACT?! Yes there is! I mean, just stop and think about it. IF the Israelites left Egypt in the numbers described above (probably two to three million strong including women and children), we should find some MAJOR evidence for these events. Well guess what, WE DO!!!
In FACT, archaeologists have unearthed an interesting site in ancient Goshen, Egypt called Avaris where a Semitic people (probably the Israelites) lived AND abruptly left just like Moses describes in Exodus. Also at this location is what could be the tomb of Joseph with the bones MISSING. Mind blown, right?! I’ll let you find out for yourself who may have been the Paraoh of the Exodus after you watch my video, but the point is this: the Bible is a HISTORY book. It’s FACTS and it should be treated as such by EVERYONE!
Application:
Have you ever considered that the Bible is REAL history?
What are the implications on the world of the Bible being historical FACT?
Watch my new video “Who Was the Exodus Pharaoh” linked below and discuss one think you learned with a friend!
