Quoting: MBECCU 39978294 so Moses crossed the red sea with the Egyptian army in hot pursuit... and got to the other side and got stuck in the desert and in the wilderness of the Sinai region. so why in god's heaven stay there for 40 years??? was he stuck at the crossroads with a red traffic light and waited to change green?? Palestine would have been only maybe 7 days walk away....so why stay there for 40 years??? and why did his followers also stay there without moving on?? how could they eat manna for 40 years x 3 times a day??? how bizarre is that?? but why no one questions the veracity of this implausible story? I would have gone shopping in Jerusalem after only 4 days in the desert...but 40 years??? that's the whole life of those people totally wasted. and then , after all that...Yahweeh god killed Moses without letting him see the promised land?? why?? how cruel and stupid is this story? It is a historic fact sheep shagger |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 37534445 United States 05/17/2013 08:29 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The Exodus: The True Story of Moses and the Pharaoh According to Velikovsky [link to www.hermetics.org] According to Velikovsky and recent theories, such volcanic eruptions would explain the darkness, and hail and lightning are known to accompany volcanic explosions of great magnitude. On a recent event, a river in America turned red. With the poisoning of waters, frogs and other amphibian reptiles would roam the land. Later they would die to create flies and lice, which would spread boils and disease. Recent discoveries of mass graves from this period in the Avaris region tend to confirm the theory of a plague. How then can we explain the parting of the Red Sea? Velikovsky suggests that the Israelites crossed the shallow Sea of Reeds. An earthquake triggered by the eruptions caused the waters to fall back, and then to rush back to swallow the chariots of the Pharaoh. Velikovksy’s claim that there are faults in standard excepted Egyptian chronology and that there is shift of a few hundred years is confirmed by a number of modern revisionist historians such as David Rohl. Rohl like Velikovsky offers hundreds of pages of evidence to support this claim. Other scholars have claimed that most of the Old Testament, including the stay in Egypt, Exodus, the fall of Jericho, the Temple of Solomon are works of fiction. Rohl’s answer to this claim is that the wrong period in history is sought for archeological evidence. If they went a bit further back all the evidence is there. Great catastrophes when the Exodus occurred would have resulted in major migrations. According to both Velikovsky and Rohl, the Hyksos conquered Egypt shortly after the Exodus. Egyptian historians call these people the “Amu”, and both authors claim that they are the same as the Biblical Amalekite hordes which the Israelites fought with and prevailed over. They were also called the Hyksos or Shepard Kings, and according to Manetho, they conquered Egypt without resistance. Their rule which was described as cruel and destructive ended after a few hundred years after which they were driven off by Ahmoses I of the Southern Upper Egypt kingdom, which was free from their rule. Arab historians such as Mesudi, have related that the Amalekites fled from their home in Southern Arabia to conquer Egypt and Syria after violent natural catastrophes such as floods that swept away whole tribes, the decent of clouds (smoke?) and pestilence of ants. According to Velikovsky the meaning of Psalms (78:49,50) “He cast upon them [Egyptians] the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them,” should be “He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending shepherd kings among them.” Because “evil angels” is spelled “malakhei-roim,” which is close to the spelling of “malakhim-roim”, which means shepherd kings. Sacred books claim miraculous powers for Moses. If as Velikovsky claims, the events that occurred at this tumultuous period had a natural cause, then in my opinion it by no means diminishes the status of a great and wise leader, who foresaw them and interpreted them as the wrath of God. The fact that Manetho mentioned that the Egyptians had suffered the Wrath of God the confirms this view. If the theories of Velikovsky are correct, then it not only gives us spectacular new version of Biblical history, but has a message for us. If catastrophes occurred as frequently in the past as Velikovsly claimed, then we should be more prepared for such events in the future. |

Not nessesarily 40 actual years. Quoting: Wash EVERYTHING IN THE BIBLE IS FACTUAL I see your and raise it by Tards will always be tards... I thought about posting the same thing then saw yours...

It's not stupid, but would agree if you said strange or hard to believe. However that's history and happened long time ago, and I accept the fact that I cannot understand everything. For example help me understand this; enter a casino room; hundreds of slot machines making noises; wheels or whatever circling around; people staring at them for long long hours if not days - that is unbelievable for me. or a woman who just gave birth signing a paper declaring that she gave her new born for adoption. unbelievable. or a boss being insulting, arrogant, and tyrant with his employees when they are working for him. or loads more, unbelievable so look around, open your eyes and you start seeing unbelievable scenarions, that's what hurts. Moses's story true or false, like other Bible stories are there for me as lessons to giude me into goodness. “Our lives are not our own. From womb to tomb, we are bound to others. Past and present. And by each crime and every kindness, we birth our future...” |
