ESCAPE FROM PLANET EGYPT
Part XV
In our
effort to reconcile ancient Egyptian historical records with the Bible, the
present series has reiterated voluminous research originally presented by the
brilliant scholar Immanuel Velikovsky.
Dr.
Velikovsky’s epic work was outlined in a book entitled Ages In Chaos
– but that amazing milestone was followed by five more volumes which
meticulously examined each of the antiquarian empires succeeding the Egyptian
dominion – convincingly linking them to historic sequences found in
Scripture.
The
overwhelming majority of people and institutions exposed to the historical
revisionism in Ages in Chaos – including the Christians –
are unaware of the hidden agenda in which a large sequential block of events is
inaccurately misdated by the consensus of scholarship.
Because the
average believer is unaware of the arcane knowledge of the scholars, most do
not understand the implications of the erroneous historical dating this writing
is addressing. In this regard, Escape From Planet Egypt has shown
that the inaccurate placement of a significant series of historic events to a
much earlier period is actually part of a massive supernatural plot to
discredit the foundational books of the Old Testament.
As we are
seeking to re-establish the connection between the historic timeline and the
Scriptural sequence, the last two installments of this series has examined
ancient inscribed tablets that refer to the time when Ahab, the
king of Israel, and his queen Jezebel, were forced to flee from
the capital of Israel in Samaria. This occurred during one stage of
Israel’s multiple wars with the king of Syria, who the Bible described as
Ben-Hadad in Damascus.
“And it came to pass after this, that Ben-hadad
king of Syria gathered all his host, and went up, and besieged Samaria”
(II Kings 6:24).
The ancient
tablets excavated at Tell El Amarna in Egypt inform us of details
of the invasion of Samaria by Syria. Amarna is the contemporary location of Akhet
Aton, the ancient city and palace of Pharaoh Akhnaton who inherited
the rule of the Middle Eastern nations of Israel, Judaea, Syria, Moab, and Edom
in the 8th century BC.
In hundreds
of clay tablets found at the site, archaeologists found many which consisted of
correspondence from Ahab of Israel to Akhnaton of
Egypt. They show that at a certain point, letters stopped coming to the
Egyptian Pharaoh from the king of Israel in “Sumurri” (obviously
Samaria), and began to be received from a place called Gubla.
Additional
research established that ancient Gubla (also known as Byblos)
still exists in contemporary Lebanon as the city of Jbayl. As I
noted in Part XIV of Escape From Planet Egypt, later Greek and
Roman records both show that Gubla was built by Ethbaal,
Ahab’s father in law.
At some
point, Gubla became associated with the even older name of Jezreel
– presumably when Ahab and Jezebel (Ethbaal’s daughter)
relocated there after their capital in Samaria was overrun by the Syrian
invader.
“And it came to pass after these things, that
Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, hard
by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria” (I Kings 21:1).
In the
modern city of Jbayl (which is evidently related to the name Jezebel),
the most important temple was called Baalat Gebal – meaning
the Lady of Gubla. As a queen living in a city founded by her father,
and a notorious priestess of Baal (the name Jezebel
means the Lady of Baal, or Priestess of Baal), it’s
inconceivable that Jezebel was not active in the temple.
Although
scholars suggest this “Lady of Gubla” was a female deity actually
worshiped in ancient Gubla, the goddess figure associated with Baal
was usually associated with Ashteroth and the groves, as Baal
had a decidedly male imagery. This indicates that Baalat Gebal (the
Lady of Gubla) was more likely named after a prominent female patron of Baal.
Further,
other letters in the Egyptian tablets found at Tell El Amarna included
correspondence from the same period that mention another woman in Israel
whose name was recorded in a parallel linguistic construction to Baalat
Gebal. This person was named Baalat Nese —and since
the context of her correspondence showed she was not a
“goddess,” this is another indicator the temple in Gubla/Jezreel
may very well be named after a female dignitary from that ancient city.
Baalat
Nese was, however, obviously important as her letters were to the
Pharaoh himself. Her correspondence referenced a place in Israel called Shunama,
even as the Scriptures detail a story from the same period involving an
important woman from a place with a virtually identical name.
“And it fell on a day, that Elisha
passed to Shunem, where there was a great woman” (II Kings
4:8).
The Old
Testament account goes on to tell us the woman’s young son died, but Elisha
breathed on him, and the child was raised from the dead.
“And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put
his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his
hands: and he stretched himself upon the child…and the child opened his
eyes” (II Kings 4:34,35).
At least
one linguistic expert has suggested the name Baalat Nese can be
rendered “a woman to whom occurred a wonder” (Tell El Amarna
Tablets, Mercer translation, Letter #273).
It is self evident
that the tale of a politically prominent woman, who saw her child raised from
the dead by an Israelite prophet, might very well reach the ears of the Pharaoh
who ruled over Israel at that time.
In our last
few chapters of Escape From Planet Egypt, we have repeatedly
synchronized the sequence of Old Testament events with the information in the
Amarna letters, which detail events from the time of Pharaoh Akhnaton.
However, the scholars continue to tell us this Pharaoh lived and wrote letters
in the 14th century BC, whereas we’ve shown his
contemporaries were Ahab, Jezebel, Jehoshaphat of Judaea, Ben Hadad of Damascus
(and now the “great woman” of Shunem), from the 8th
century BC.
The
scholars tell us Akhnaton’s correspondence with the king of “Sumurra”
(one of several variant spellings of Samaria), and the king of Gubla
(which we’ve identified as the forerunner of the royal palace complex
seen in Scripture as Jezreel) was not with Ahab, as back
in the 14th century BC, Israel had yet to see the prophet
Samuel anoint their first king Saul.
Even though
many of the letters to the Pharaoh were labeled as sent from the “king of
Sumurri,” the evidence from the Scriptures indicating that Samaria
was built by Omri, Ahab’s father in the 8th
century, is simply dismissed.
“Omri…bought the hill Samaria
of Shemer for two talents of silver, and built on the hill, and called the name
of the city which he built, after the name of Shemer, owner of the hill, Samaria”
(I Kings 16:23).
These same
scholars tell us the Syrian king based in “Dumusku” (Damascus)
could not have been Ben-Hadad, but was instead a much
earlier king in the same area of Northern Canaan. This faulty conclusion
ignores the many parallels between the Amarna letters and the books of Kings
and Chronicles which record sequential events that continue to match each
other.
At the Christian
Media ministry, we’ve learned that simply distilling chronological
details down to basic historical fact without an awareness of the Spiritual
dimension is a short sighted course of action. A good example of this lack of
Spiritual discernment is the prophetic foreshadowing seen in the story of the
“great woman,” whose son was raised from the dead by Elisha.
As the God
of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob has consistently intervened in the affairs of men
in a highly visible fashion (which demands historic recognition), the fact that
the records have been obscured by the machinations of unredeemed men does not
cancel the negative consequences of ignoring such profoundly important events.
As the
Scriptural narrative continues (enhanced by the historical records from Amarna
as well as other adjacent historical accounts), we learn the tale of the
resurrection of the dead boy – which was facilitated by close personal
contact with the man of God – provides a prophetic metaphor of how the
LORD was manifested as a man, and his divine life was transferred to
lifeless mankind through personal interaction.
In related
studies we’ve shown how the lives of the two prophets Elijah and
Elisha, also anticipate the judgment of the Father in the person of Elijah
(whose compound name includes Yahweh), as the prophet was known for the
fiery destruction of the prophets of Baal.
“Then the fire of the Lord fell, and consumed the
burnt sacrifice [which Elijah constructed]…And when all the people
saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The Lord, he is the God”
(I Kings 18:38,39).
Conversely Elisha,
who brought the dead boy to life (whose compound name includes the name Yeshua),
is known for miracles of water, oil, and resurrection – clearly
foreshadowing the life given to Spiritually dead mankind by JESUS OF NAZARETH.
It should
be noted that in addition to multiple episodes of fiery judgment falling from
heaven in the time of Elijah, the prophetic figure anticipates
the judgment of God in the famous famine, which the Bible records in the days
of Elijah and Ahab.
“And Elijah went to shew himself
unto Ahab. And there was a sore famine in Samaria” (I Kings
18:2).
Thus, as
we have sought to demonstrate the period of correspondence from Ahab to
Akhnaton (as recorded in the Amarna documents) should be placed in the 8th
century, we would expect there to be some reference in the Amarna letters to
the horrifying famine which struck Israel through the prophet Elijah.
The fact
is, letters from the king of Samaria to the Pharaoh at Akhet Aton
repeatedly beg the foreign king to send relief because of an intense famine.
“There is no grain for our support. What shall I
say to my peasants? Their sons, their daughter have come to an end…Send
grain in ships and preserve the life of his servant and his city” (Amarna
Letter #85).
The Old
Testament describes this famine as devastating, but as previously mentioned, if
we fail to account for the Spiritual dimension, the circumstances are robbed of
their deeper meaning.
Although Jeroboam,
Baasha, and Omri all sought to synthesize the
worship of Yahweh with the golden calf religious tradition of Egypt,
the Scriptures tell us “there was none like unto Ahab” (I Kings
21:25), in terms of apostasy.
Ahab,
repeatedly manipulated by his Sidonian/Phoenician queen, was also the first
king of Israel to brazenly embrace the Mesopotamian Baal –
so the physical circumstances of a lethal famine, brought on by no rain and
exceedingly dry conditions, was conclusively linked to a judgment of God.
“And Elijah the Tishbite…said
unto Ahab, As the Lord God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand,
there shall not be dew nor rain these years, according to my word” (I
Kings 17:1).
At one
point, the drought and subsequent famine was so intense, that starvation was
rampant. Ahab had appointed an official to look for any water
which could be transported to the capital.
“And Ahab said…Go into the land, unto all
fountains of water, and unto all brooks: [perhaps] we may find grass to
save the horses and mules alive, that we lose not all the beasts” (I
Kings 18:5).
In the
Amarna documents, a letter from the king of “Sumur” to his Egyptian
overlord, indicated his subjects were all deserting him.
“And there is no grain for my provisions, and the
peasants have departed for the cities where there is grain for their
provisions” (Amarna letter #125).
There are actually
numerous letters to the Pharaoh with urgent requests for food, as the famine
was catastrophic – and obviously the Scriptures detail these horrendous
conditions. The point is, once again, the Amarna letters which are admitted to
apply to the time of Pharaoh Akhnaton, consistently place Akhnaton
in the 8th century BC, and the time of Ahab
and Jezebel.
However,
mainstream scholarship still clings to the fraud that Akhnaton
and the events which occurred in his dynastic line, lived in the 14th
century BC, in order to continue to perpetrate the hidden agenda which we will
again detail shortly.
It should
be noted that the concept of famine and drought in the material Israelite
timeline, as a divine punishment imposed upon the chosen people of the LORD for
apostasy, is a necessary component of the parallel Spiritual substance where a
“famine” is decreed in the supernatural realm.
“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I
will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water,
but of hearing the words of the Lord” (Amos 8:11).
We further
note the most severe Old Testament famine was directly tied to Ahab and
Jezebel’s departure from the worship of the LORD, to follow Baal.
The fulfillment of the above prophecy in Amos parallels the same
thing, as the body of Christ (as Spiritual Israel), is NOW acquiescing
to the leavening of the Word of God (the Scriptures) through the propagation of
the heretical concept that parts of the Baal Bible were the
template, which was supposedly copied by Moses to produce the
book of Genesis!
The reader
will remember we previously addressed the writings from Syria found at Ras
Shamra, which tell the tale of Syrian religious life in an ancient site
called Ugarit (in Part XI of this work). The scholars tell
us these writings, which speak of things such as the creation, the great flood,
the Garden of Eden account, and the fall of man, preceded the writing of
Genesis. These ancient religious materials from Ugarit, which is
a part of what we call the Baal Bible, also puts forth the idea
that God has a “divine council” of gods, which the LORD supervises.
In this
alleged divine council, the LORD, who is called El (one
of the terms used for God in the ancient Hebrew) in the Ras Shamra
tablets, is supposedly a co-regent with Baal. Moreover, due to
the Spiritually malevolent misdating which erroneously places these writings
back in the 15th century BC (before the
Israelites under Moses escaped from Egypt to go to the land promised them by
God), the “Christian” scholars in seminaries around the world are
convinced these Mesopotamian documents found in ancient Syria are the original,
and Moses (and other Old Testament figures) plagiarized from
them.
This heresy
has now infected Christian institutions on a wholesale basis. The following
quote comes from one of the leading Christian scholars, whose is among the most
popular figures in Christian prophecy circles today, in his infernal efforts to
synthesize the religion of Baal with the Holy Bible.
“The chief deity of Ugarit was El – one of
the names that appear in the Old Testament for the God of Israel. El had a
divine council whose members were the sons of El, and he had a coruler,
Baal” (The Unseen Realm, Dr Michael S Heiser, 2015, page 46,
emphasis mine).
With these
statements, we have arrived at the primary reason that such massive misdating
of ancient history occurred in the first place. Further, this faulty
scholarship has been unchallenged in Christian circles for a century, so
multiple generations of pastors, priests, and professors have been thoroughly
indoctrinated into this heresy, as the Ras Shamra documents were
found in 1928.
Worse yet,
using the modern tools of mass media, video, and the immersive reach of the
Internet, this hideous deception is now trickling down from scholarly circles
to the general Christian populace. Thus, millions of believers are now
being taught by the so called “experts” that the Scriptures were not
divinely inspired by the LORD, and that portions of the Pentateuch (the first 5
books of the Holy Bible recorded by Moses), were adapted from the Baal
Bible.
The Good
News is, the LORD has raised up the Christian Media ministry, in order
to tear the mask off this diabolical device of the Devil; and as we continue
our efforts to re-synchronize the historic timeline with the Scriptural
narrative, we’re revealing the records actually demonstrate the Baal
Bible was written after the time of Solomon, when the Holy
Scriptures were already intact.

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 in
America – especially with reference to the American recognition of Jerusalem
as the capital of the political state known as Israel. We also publish a
regularly issued companion letter commenting on the material seen in
each chapter 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.
However, the enemy has already sown
tares in this vineyard, and we choose not to provide the website links to view
the free video 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 attack 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).
