Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem

Exodus 10

The Plague of Darkness

21 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the sky so that darkness spreads over Egypt—darkness that can be felt.” 22 So Moses stretched out his hand toward the sky, and total darkness covered all Egypt for three days. 23 No one could see anyone else or move about for three days. Yet all the Israelites had light in the places where they lived.

24 Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and said, “Go, worship the Lord. Even your women and children may go with you; only leave your flocks and herds behind.”

25 But Moses said, “You must allow us to have sacrifices and burnt offerings to present to the Lord our God. 26 Our livestock too must go with us; not a hoof is to be left behind. We have to use some of them in worshiping the Lord our God, and until we get there we will not know what we are to use to worship the Lord.”

27 But the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he was not willing to let them go. 28 Pharaoh said to Moses, “Get out of my sight! Make sure you do not appear before me again! The day you see my face you will die.”

29 “Just as you say,” Moses replied. “I will never appear before you again.”

In 1968, when I was a Sophomore in High School, I hung out with the "Artsy Crowd". Call us Bohemians, Beatniks, or Hippies, (sigh) that's what we were. Our clothing choices were not available in stores, so we made our own. We split the lower legs of our jeans and inserted colorful gussets to make them into bellbottoms. (I had my Dad's actual bellbottoms from WW2, so I was extra-cool.) We were outcasts at the school, which still only had two sanctioned styles of dress, "Rat" (Black Leather Jackets) or "Collegiate" (Sweaters and Pleated Skirts). We were a persecuted minority, but that added to the rebellious cache'.

The ringleader of our sorry little group was Cynthia. She wore trailing caftans and love-beads, and wore her straight blonde hair halfway down the middle of her face, so she could only see out of one eye. The one exposed eye was heavily made up to look exactly like The "Eye of Horus". I am really glad I don't have any pictures of me from that era, because we all looked ridiculous.

Yesterday, I had an errand to run in my old neighborhood. I knew it had been heavily gentrified, but I was not prepared for the vision I would encounter. It looked like Key West, Haight-Ashbury, and P-Town all rolled into one and carried to extremes. Grand old Victorian homes are painted purple and turquoise. Woke politics on posters and murals are all over the shoppe windows. And...the names of the shoppes and boutiques are so "cute" that it made me want to GAG. The clothes that made me look ridiculous fifty years ago were being proudly displayeed in Vintage Clothing Stores. I felt that I had been transported into Hippie-Hell.

And...Oh Yes...The "Eye of Horus" was everywhere.

Yesterday, I posted a little table of the Egyptian Mythology surrounding "Night and Day". Here it is again to refresh your memory:

DAY:

1. The god Khepri, in the form of the Scarab Beetle, rolls the Sun across the sky.

2. The recently deceased Pharaoh, in the form of Osiris, floats the Sun across the sky on a special boat, called the "Solar Barque".

3. Amon Ra, the actual "Sun God" flies the Sun on its daily journey on wings.

NIGHT:

1. The Cobra Snake ("Apophus" perhaps) devours the Sun at sunset and disgorges it in the morning.

2. The Sun travels through the body of the goddess Nut, whose skin is emblazoned with the stars.

3. Osiris (in the form of the deceased, mummified Pharaoh) safely transports the Sun across the darkness in the Solar Barque.



I had forgotten to mention Horus, the Hawk-Headed God, who was conceived by Isis and the mummified Osiris. Since Horus was considered the "God of Light", he is very much the subject of the next plague, along with all the aforementioned Egyptian deities.

Horus is most famous for his hawk-like eye, which is all over Egyptian Art and modern-day tattoos. Even the unscientific Ancients knew that one needs LIGHT in order to SEE, and so, the Eye was the symbol for Horus. And Light, in Ancient Egypt, came from the Sun.

The Sun was so revered that it was considered the chief of all the gods. There was a brief time in Egyptian History when ONLY the Sun was worshipped, during the reign of the heretic Pharaoh Akenaten. The priests of Amon-Ra and all the other deities, with their livelihood wrapped up in the worship of the entire Pantheon with all its cults and sects, put a swift end to THAT.

Three Days of Complete Darkness was a direct insult to the most important of the Egyptian Pantheon.

It is not a coincidence that the Darkness lasted Three Days, the same amount of time Jesus lay in His Tomb.

And yet, even with that, Pharaoh's heart was once again hardened. He still had not "Seen The Light."

Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

"He was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification." (Romans 4:25)

Psalm 45

To the leader: according to Lilies. Of the Korahites. A Maskil. A love song.

1 My heart overflows with a goodly theme;
I address my verses to the king;
my tongue is like the pen of a ready scribe.

2 You are the most handsome of men;
grace is poured upon your lips;
therefore God has blessed you for ever.
3 Gird your sword on your thigh, O mighty one,
in your glory and majesty.

4 In your majesty ride on victoriously
for the cause of truth and to defend* the right;
let your right hand teach you dread deeds.
5 Your arrows are sharp
in the heart of the king’s enemies;
the peoples fall under you.

6 Your throne, O God,* endures for ever and ever.
Your royal sceptre is a sceptre of equity;
7 you love righteousness and hate wickedness.
Therefore God, your God, has anointed you
with the oil of gladness beyond your companions;
8 your robes are all fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia.
From ivory palaces stringed instruments make you glad;
9 daughters of kings are among your ladies of honour;
at your right hand stands the queen in gold of Ophir.

10 Hear, O daughter, consider and incline your ear;
forget your people and your father’s house,
11 and the king will desire your beauty.
Since he is your lord, bow to him;
12 the people* of Tyre will seek your favour with gifts,
the richest of the people 13with all kinds of wealth.

The princess is decked in her chamber with gold-woven robes;*
14 in many-coloured robes she is led to the king;
behind her the virgins, her companions, follow.
15 With joy and gladness they are led along
as they enter the palace of the king.

16 In the place of ancestors you, O king,* shall have sons;
you will make them princes in all the earth.
17 I will cause your name to be celebrated in all generations;
therefore the peoples will praise you for ever and ever.

Good lesson, left that other site

Interesting there is the Hebrew letter Ayin, which looks like a vertical eye, means eye for seeing the view, outside the box: https://hebrewtoday.com/alphabet/the-letter-ain-%d7%a2/

Joining in prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem and for our beloved America.

This Ayin looks like two eyes with the optic nerves joining into one. Anatomically Correct!
