    About this ebook

    At the end of 2017, I was studying the book of Exodus in the bible. As I was studying Pharaoh and his stubborn rebellion against God, I couldn’t help but compare his situation to recent American history. The application of this story to recent American history is unmistakable, just like the plagues were unmistakable miracles of God. Yet Pharaoh denied the undeniable. He ignored the obvious and refused to see what was right before his very eyes. The power of God pointing the way to the truth that God alone is the all-powerful creator of the world. In the end, Pharaoh's country was destroyed by plagues and his army drowned in the Red Sea because of Pharaoh desire to hold on to power. Is God is pointing the way to the same truth through recent American history? Will America hear and respond to the message before it is too late or will we end up like Pharaoh and his country? Will you hear and respond to the message before it is too late? All you have to do is open your eyes and your heart and you will see the message and know what to do.

Will you hear and respond to the message before it is too late? All you have to do is open your eyes and your heart, and you will see the message and know what to do.

      Chapter 1 - Overview of the American Pharaoh

      A Brief Summary of Exodus 1-14

      In Exodus 1-4, Israel was enslaved to Egypt. In Exodus 4-14, God told Moses to tell Pharaoh to let my people go. God hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and then later Pharaoh hardened his own heart, refusing to let them go. God sent ten plagues to show his power is superior to the power and might of Pharaoh’s gods and magicians. Pharaoh refused to acknowledge God’s authority and hardened his heart. I would encourage you to read it. It is a very fascinating part of history.

      The Bible doesn’t say specifically what Pharaoh’s reasoning was, but I’m sure it made sense to him and many other people in Egypt. After all, if they let the slaves go, who would do all of the work? If Pharaoh submitted to God this time, what was next; give up the entire nation? Would Egypt be slaves to Israel? Would Pharaoh’s name go down in history as a failed leader? He probably thought If this God is so real and so powerful how did he let them become slaves in the first place? He probably didn’t realize that God was using Egypt to punish Israel because of their sin. Pharaoh’s pride and desire to hold on to power, would not let him admit that the God of Israel was the one and only true God. Egypt suffered because of Pharaoh’s pride and rebellion against God.

      The plagues were unmistakable miracles from God. Israelites were slaves to Egyptians, which means they had to be living with or close to the Egyptians, yet the plagues did not affect Israelites.

      Exodus 8:22 "²² But on that day I will set apart the land of Goshen, where my people dwell, so that no swarms of flies shall be there, that you may know that I am the Lord in the midst of the earth." ESV®

      Exodus 9:4 But the Lord will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt, so that nothing of all that belongs to the people of Israel shall die. ESV®

      These plagues only affected the Egyptians. With the Israelites living right there with the Egyptians, how is that possible? Obviously, this was a miracle that only God could do. It took someone as stubborn and bullheaded as Pharaoh to deny the all-powerful God was sending him a message he must heed. He thought he had options, but in reality, he had no option. God was going to get Israel out from under the oppressive power of Pharaoh. The more stubborn Pharaoh was, the more he and his nation would suffer. In the face of the obvious, and the undeniable miracles of God, Pharaoh would not submit to Israel’s God, the Father and Creator of us all. Pharaoh did not want to give up control to God.

      Sound familiar?

      It should sound familiar! The stubbornness of people, refusing to admit that there is only one God and Father of us all, is a recurring theme throughout history, especially in recent American history. We, like Pharaoh, never seem to learn the lesson and end up repeating mistakes over and over and over again. Just like Pharaoh, the more stubborn we are, the more suffering we will do.

      There is a saying by George Santayana: Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it [1]. I would like to modify that saying. Those who do not understand the past are condemned to repeat it. Plenty of people remember the past; they just are interpreting it wrong.

      How Do You Know?

      The question is, how do you understand and interpret the past, so you arrive at the truth? How do you determine what is good and what is bad, what we want to repeat and what we don’t want to repeat? For example, Was Adolf Hitler [3] good or bad? If he is bad, what makes him bad and how do you know those things are bad? After all, some people, including Hitler himself, believe that he was just trying to advance the human race. The Aryan race he was building was select groups of people that he thought were superior to others. To advance evolution and the natural selection of the human race, Hitler was going to eliminate the week ones so only the superior ones would reproduce, and they would have superior offspring. In his mind, he was making the human race better and thus making life better. Evolution calls it natural selection, survival of the fittest or eugenics[4]. Hitler was just acting out his evolution beliefs (Appendix A1) and his hatred for Christians and Jews. So, if you base it on evolution and eugenics, Hitler was a hero. Obviously, most people know that Hitler was a terrible human, murdering millions of people only because of their race or religion. However, some people think he was doing the right thing, advancing the human race.

      So, are you one of those who to tell these people what to think? What if someone came up to you said Heil Hitler and said Hitler was great? They want to build the Aryan Race again. Would you tell them they are wrong? That they shouldn’t think that way? Who are we to tell them that what they believe, think or feel is wrong. If we’re going to say that Hitler was evil, or the things he did was evil, how are we determining that? Who’s set of morals are we going to use?
