The topic today is
"The Prince of the Egypt
00:00:13.48\00:00:18.28
and the Bearded Queen."
00:00:18.31\00:00:20.65
Have you ever heard
about the Bearded Queen?
00:00:20.68\00:00:23.08
You have?
00:00:23.12\00:00:24.45
Oh, that's a disappointment,
I thought nobody here
00:00:24.49\00:00:25.89
would have heard
about the Bearded Queen.
00:00:25.92\00:00:28.79
But I'm going to tell you today
the story of the Bearded Queen.
00:00:28.82\00:00:33.93
You've all heard of the
great Russian writer Dostoevsky.
00:00:33.96\00:00:40.87
He said this,
"If there is no God,
00:00:40.90\00:00:47.21
then everything is permitted."
00:00:47.24\00:00:50.05
I want you to think about this.
00:00:50.08\00:00:51.41
If there is no God,
then everything is permitted.
00:00:51.45\00:00:57.22
He said that in the 19th century
00:00:57.25\00:00:59.95
and his fellow Russians
00:00:59.99\00:01:02.52
put into practice
in the 20th century
00:01:02.56\00:01:04.63
and killed between 50
and 70 million people.
00:01:04.66\00:01:09.50
That's a lot of people you know,
00:01:09.53\00:01:10.87
that's double the
size of California tortured
00:01:10.90\00:01:13.30
and put to death.
00:01:13.34\00:01:14.90
So if there is no God,
then everything is permitted.
00:01:14.94\00:01:20.14
Now today, I want to
give you some evidence
00:01:20.18\00:01:22.88
why you can
believe there is a god
00:01:22.91\00:01:25.41
and there is the god,
00:01:25.45\00:01:27.58
and why the Bible
is actually reliable.
00:01:27.62\00:01:33.15
We're gonna tell you today
00:01:33.19\00:01:34.52
about the
beautiful young princes
00:01:34.56\00:01:36.93
who went down to the River
Nile and found a little boy
00:01:36.96\00:01:41.80
floating on the
Nile in a basket.
00:01:41.83\00:01:45.23
We're gonna tell you the story
00:01:45.27\00:01:46.60
of this
magnificent wonderful woman
00:01:46.63\00:01:50.17
who is destined to
become the Pharaoh.
00:01:50.21\00:01:53.48
We gonna talk today also
00:01:53.51\00:01:55.54
about the greatest
Pharaoh of them all.
00:01:55.58\00:01:59.55
That was not Ramesses the Great.
00:01:59.58\00:02:02.32
Of course Egypt is the gift
to the Nile, Herodotus said.
00:02:02.35\00:02:07.62
And he said then,
00:02:07.66\00:02:10.26
"Egypt is the gift to the Nile
00:02:10.29\00:02:12.46
and the Nile is
the gift of the gods."
00:02:12.49\00:02:16.73
And so this is the
land of supernatural forces.
00:02:16.77\00:02:20.64
This is the greatest
Pharaoh when we went up there.
00:02:20.67\00:02:26.14
The greatest
Pharaoh in the history
00:02:26.17\00:02:28.38
of thousands and
thousands of years.
00:02:28.41\00:02:32.35
That is Thutmose III.
00:02:32.38\00:02:35.58
Today for little
while, we're going to see
00:02:35.62\00:02:37.22
some of the riches
and the might of Egypt.
00:02:37.25\00:02:41.42
When a person goes to Egypt
00:02:41.46\00:02:42.92
and I have been there on
so many different occasions.
00:02:42.96\00:02:49.53
You can't go to
places like this,
00:02:49.56\00:02:51.23
the great pyramid
built 4,600 years ago.
00:02:51.27\00:02:56.94
The 2650 BC
00:02:56.97\00:02:59.61
and that's not
the oldest pyramid,
00:02:59.64\00:03:01.54
but you can't go to these places
00:03:01.58\00:03:03.55
and see the
massiveness and the splendor
00:03:03.58\00:03:08.25
without realizing
that this was perhaps
00:03:08.28\00:03:12.32
the greatest
civilization of them all.
00:03:12.35\00:03:15.09
And then in the second
part of our presentation today,
00:03:15.12\00:03:18.33
we're going to
talk about something
00:03:18.36\00:03:20.33
that was very dear to
the hearts of the Egyptians
00:03:20.36\00:03:23.77
and that is the quest
00:03:23.80\00:03:26.53
and the search
for everlasting life.
00:03:26.57\00:03:30.44
I want you to notice scripture
00:03:30.47\00:03:32.21
that comes from
the land of Egypt,
00:03:32.24\00:03:33.84
or comes from a person
who is the Prince of Egypt,
00:03:33.88\00:03:37.45
it's found in the Bible
00:03:37.48\00:03:39.11
and it's found in Exodus 3:1-10.
00:03:39.15\00:03:44.49
Exodus 3:1-10.
00:03:44.52\00:03:51.43
And I want you to
notice it in the Bible.
00:03:51.46\00:03:54.00
It says, "Now Moses was
tending the flock of Jethro
00:03:54.03\00:03:57.90
his father-in-law,
the priest of Midian.
00:03:57.93\00:04:01.30
And he led the flock
to the back of the desert
00:04:01.34\00:04:03.77
and came to Horeb,
the mountain of God.
00:04:03.81\00:04:07.88
And the Angel of
the Lord appeared to him
00:04:07.91\00:04:09.78
in a flame of fire
from the midst of a bush.
00:04:09.81\00:04:14.15
So he looked, and behold,
the bush was burning with fire,
00:04:14.18\00:04:17.49
but the bush was not consumed.
00:04:17.52\00:04:20.02
Then Moses said,
"I will now turn aside
00:04:20.06\00:04:24.16
and see this great sight,
why the bush does not burn."
00:04:24.19\00:04:29.13
So when the Lord saw
that he turned aside to look,
00:04:29.16\00:04:32.23
God called to him
from the midst of the bush
00:04:32.27\00:04:35.27
and said, "Moses, Moses."
00:04:35.30\00:04:40.88
And he said, "Here I am."
00:04:40.91\00:04:43.45
Then he said, "Do
not draw near this place.
00:04:43.48\00:04:46.45
Take your sandals off your feet,
00:04:46.48\00:04:48.62
for the place where
you stand is holy ground."
00:04:48.65\00:04:53.02
Moreover he said, "I
am the God of your father,
00:04:53.05\00:04:56.19
the God of
Abraham, the God of Isaac,
00:04:56.22\00:04:58.39
and the God of Jacob."
00:04:58.43\00:05:00.30
And Moses hid his face,
00:05:00.33\00:05:02.26
for he was
afraid to look upon God.
00:05:02.30\00:05:04.73
And the Lord said,
"I have surely seen
00:05:04.77\00:05:07.54
the oppression of my
people who are in Egypt,
00:05:07.57\00:05:11.57
and have heard their cry
because of their task-masters,
00:05:11.61\00:05:16.24
and I know their sorrows.
00:05:16.28\00:05:17.98
So I have come
down to deliver them
00:05:18.01\00:05:20.12
out of the hand
of the Egyptians,
00:05:20.15\00:05:23.02
to bring them up from that
land to a good and large land,
00:05:23.05\00:05:26.96
to a land flowing
with milk and honey,
00:05:26.99\00:05:30.29
to the place of the
Canaanites and the Hittites
00:05:30.33\00:05:32.93
and the Amorites
and the Perizzites
00:05:32.96\00:05:35.86
and the Hivites
and the Jebusites.
00:05:35.90\00:05:38.67
Now therefore, behold,
00:05:38.70\00:05:41.27
the cry of the children
of Israel has come to Me,
00:05:41.30\00:05:46.21
and I have also
seen the oppression
00:05:46.24\00:05:48.31
with which the
Egyptians oppress them.
00:05:48.34\00:05:51.71
Come now, therefore, I
will send you to Pharaoh
00:05:51.75\00:05:55.35
that you may bring My people,
00:05:55.38\00:05:57.39
the children of
Israel, out of Egypt."
00:05:57.42\00:06:02.22
Now the Bible teaches
00:06:02.26\00:06:03.59
and it is not a may be teaching,
00:06:03.63\00:06:06.56
it is a categorical
teaching of the Bible
00:06:06.59\00:06:10.57
that the children of Israel
were in the land of Egypt.
00:06:10.60\00:06:17.34
Now there is
another text in the Bible,
00:06:17.37\00:06:19.91
I want you to notice today.
00:06:19.94\00:06:22.58
It is a text that is
found in 1 Kings 6:1.
00:06:22.61\00:06:27.15
And it gives us
the historical setting
00:06:27.18\00:06:30.99
for the presentation today.
00:06:31.02\00:06:32.59
It says, "And it came to pass
00:06:32.62\00:06:34.49
in the four
hundred and eightieth year
00:06:34.52\00:06:37.56
after the children
of Israel had come up
00:06:37.59\00:06:40.73
out of the land of Egypt,
00:06:40.76\00:06:42.40
in the fourth year of
Solomon's reign over Israel,
00:06:42.43\00:06:46.17
in the month of Ziv,
which is the second month,
00:06:46.20\00:06:49.50
that he began to build
the house of the Lord."
00:06:49.54\00:06:54.38
We know this is not speculation.
00:06:54.41\00:06:57.65
We know exactly
00:06:57.68\00:07:00.85
when Solomon started to
built the temple of the Lord.
00:07:00.88\00:07:05.55
And the Bible says
00:07:05.59\00:07:06.92
if you go back 480
years from this time,
00:07:06.96\00:07:11.83
when he started to
built the temple of the Lord,
00:07:11.86\00:07:14.33
you come to the time
when the people came up
00:07:14.36\00:07:18.17
out of the land of
Egypt which would put us
00:07:18.20\00:07:21.37
very much on 1450 BC.
00:07:21.40\00:07:26.71
And this give us the time
of the Pharaoh of the Exodus,
00:07:28.98\00:07:33.55
and it also tells us
most likely who the girl was.
00:07:33.58\00:07:40.36
The powerful princess
who rescued Moses as a baby.
00:07:40.39\00:07:46.49
I believe her
name was Hatshepsut,
00:07:46.53\00:07:51.27
and she came from
a long line of kings,
00:07:51.30\00:07:55.40
who had
overthrown some foreign kings
00:07:55.44\00:07:57.94
by the name of the Hyksos.
00:07:57.97\00:08:00.88
Her father's name was Thutmosis.
00:08:00.91\00:08:04.75
This is Hatshepsut.
00:08:04.78\00:08:06.88
Her father's name was Thutmosis
00:08:06.92\00:08:10.09
or Thutmose I,
00:08:10.12\00:08:14.16
and she married
this man who was really
00:08:14.19\00:08:17.99
the illegitimate
son of his father,
00:08:18.03\00:08:21.76
and his name was Thutmosis
II but after few years he died.
00:08:21.80\00:08:28.00
And then, she had a
coregency with a young man
00:08:28.04\00:08:33.07
by the name of Thutmosis III
00:08:33.11\00:08:36.58
This is Deir El-Bahari,
00:08:36.61\00:08:40.95
the great mortuary
temple of Queen Hatshepsut.
00:08:40.98\00:08:45.12
Now if we have got
our chronologies straight,
00:08:45.15\00:08:49.22
which I think we have,
00:08:49.26\00:08:51.46
then it was Queen Hatshepsut
who build this gorgeous place
00:08:51.49\00:08:57.63
on the west bank
of the Nile at Luxor,
00:08:57.67\00:09:00.77
at the entrance to
the Valley of the Kings.
00:09:00.80\00:09:03.47
It was this girl
who discovered Moses.
00:09:03.51\00:09:08.34
And the amazing thing
is, she became the Pharaoh.
00:09:08.38\00:09:14.68
And if you see
her in inscriptions
00:09:14.72\00:09:17.15
but before we do so.
00:09:17.19\00:09:18.59
This is the father
Thutmose, notice the name,
00:09:18.62\00:09:23.43
took these pictures
in the Cairo Museum,
00:09:23.46\00:09:26.03
Thutmose I,
00:09:26.06\00:09:28.50
and this actually is the
mummy of Queen Hatshepsut,
00:09:28.53\00:09:33.94
lost to the
world for 3,500 years.
00:09:33.97\00:09:40.34
A little while ago,
I was the great famous,
00:09:40.38\00:09:44.68
supreme director of antiquities
00:09:44.71\00:09:47.62
for the land of
Egypt Dr. Hawass,
00:09:47.65\00:09:50.85
and he said, here
she is, here she is.
00:09:50.89\00:09:55.59
Here she is, the woman,
the daughter of Thutmose I
00:09:55.62\00:10:00.83
and if 1 Kings 6:1 is right,
00:10:00.86\00:10:04.57
then this is the
woman most likely
00:10:04.60\00:10:07.60
who discovered Moses as a baby.
00:10:07.64\00:10:10.84
And Moses is not only a Hebrew
name that means drawn out of,
00:10:10.87\00:10:16.85
it is a pure Egyptian
name, did you know this?
00:10:16.88\00:10:20.52
And it means born of
00:10:20.55\00:10:23.39
and as one of the
greatest archeologist
00:10:23.42\00:10:25.65
in the history of the world,
00:10:25.69\00:10:27.36
the great
professor Dr. Siegfried Horn
00:10:27.39\00:10:30.06
said to me most
likely he called her...
00:10:30.09\00:10:34.23
She called him Hapimoses,
00:10:34.26\00:10:38.90
not Thutmosis or
Armosis but Hapimoses,
00:10:38.93\00:10:43.81
born of the god Hapi,
the god of the River Nile.
00:10:43.84\00:10:49.91
She became the Pharaoh.
00:10:52.28\00:10:54.55
When she became the Pharaoh,
every thing she did was great.
00:10:54.58\00:10:59.35
It was terrific.
00:10:59.39\00:11:00.89
I'm going to show
you some pictures of her.
00:11:00.92\00:11:03.96
Here she is in the
form of the goddess Osiris,
00:11:03.99\00:11:10.47
who is the god of
death and resurrection,
00:11:10.50\00:11:13.90
and she, as you saw had a beard
00:11:13.94\00:11:17.77
which is the symbol
of the Pharaoh's power.
00:11:17.81\00:11:21.78
In all inscriptions,
she is shown as a man.
00:11:21.81\00:11:26.58
This is the great
obelisk of Queen Hatshepsut,
00:11:26.61\00:11:31.15
the greatest in the world,
00:11:31.19\00:11:33.52
97 feet high,
323 tons of granite,
00:11:33.56\00:11:39.76
one sheet in a
mixture of silver and gold.
00:11:39.79\00:11:44.27
I spend an evening with her.
00:11:46.43\00:11:50.37
We hired the Cairo
Museum for an evening.
00:11:50.41\00:11:55.41
We saw treasures
00:11:55.44\00:11:57.91
and the wealth of
the land of Moses.
00:11:57.95\00:12:01.48
My friend Dr. Randy Younker,
00:12:01.52\00:12:04.12
one of the
greatest archeologists
00:12:04.15\00:12:05.62
in the world today, Dr. Hawass
00:12:05.65\00:12:08.66
and we're
talking about the queen.
00:12:08.69\00:12:14.00
The little princess
was destined for greatness,
00:12:14.03\00:12:18.77
and who found a little boy
00:12:18.80\00:12:21.50
and she called him Moses.
00:12:21.54\00:12:26.78
It is indeed an amazing story.
00:12:26.81\00:12:30.58
It's also interesting
00:12:30.61\00:12:33.11
that after she
died Thutmosis III
00:12:33.15\00:12:37.09
who apparently hated her
defaced her in inscriptions
00:12:37.12\00:12:41.62
with the help of
his son Amenhotep II.
00:12:41.66\00:12:46.96
And you can actually
see how the inscriptions
00:12:47.00\00:12:50.97
have been defaced by the Pharaoh
00:12:51.00\00:12:54.57
who came after her.
00:12:54.60\00:12:57.17
You see...
00:12:57.21\00:13:00.11
Thutmosis III was
the illegitimate son
00:13:00.14\00:13:04.45
of her husband,
00:13:04.48\00:13:09.75
and he was the
rightful ruler of Egypt,
00:13:09.78\00:13:14.02
and he was an Egyptian,
00:13:14.06\00:13:18.13
but the mighty
woman who had became
00:13:18.16\00:13:20.80
the Pharaoh Hatshepsut
would have none of it,
00:13:20.83\00:13:25.33
because it appears
00:13:25.37\00:13:26.90
she didn't want
Thutmosis on the throne,
00:13:26.94\00:13:30.94
she wanted Moses,
00:13:30.97\00:13:34.38
the prince of Egypt.
00:13:34.41\00:13:37.75
You know in the story
how Moses was sent to Pharaoh
00:13:37.78\00:13:42.78
and he had a confrontation.
00:13:42.82\00:13:45.55
This is the
man, this is the man,
00:13:45.59\00:13:50.73
this is Thutmosis III,
00:13:50.76\00:13:55.86
the stepson of the
Great Queen Hatshepsut
00:13:55.90\00:14:00.50
who found the little boy
00:14:00.54\00:14:03.20
and called him Moses.
00:14:03.24\00:14:07.64
The Bible says that
00:14:07.68\00:14:09.84
God send Moses down into Egypt
00:14:09.88\00:14:12.25
and he came and
stood before this man,
00:14:12.28\00:14:14.72
he said, let my people go.
00:14:14.75\00:14:17.62
This is the tomb
00:14:17.65\00:14:20.66
of the great
Pharaoh Thutmosis III.
00:14:20.69\00:14:24.96
This is an amazing picture.
00:14:24.99\00:14:29.33
You're not allowed to
photograph in this tomb.
00:14:31.07\00:14:34.90
We received special permission.
00:14:34.94\00:14:38.64
This tomb... I'm
with Dr. Randy Younker.
00:14:38.67\00:14:43.11
It appears as though it
was finished in a hurry.
00:14:43.14\00:14:49.08
I've stood there and I have felt
00:14:49.12\00:14:51.75
the actual sarcophagus
00:14:51.79\00:14:55.16
where once slander man who said,
00:14:55.19\00:14:57.63
I do not know the Lord
00:14:57.66\00:14:59.09
and I will not
let this people go.
00:14:59.13\00:15:02.86
That is an amazing story.
00:15:05.40\00:15:09.90
And according to one very much
accepted method of chronology,
00:15:09.94\00:15:14.08
he died in 1450 BC.
00:15:14.11\00:15:19.45
I want you to notice
some of the kings Moses
00:15:19.48\00:15:22.32
just may have known.
00:15:22.35\00:15:24.59
If he didn't
know them personally,
00:15:24.62\00:15:26.15
he would have known
them at least from history.
00:15:26.19\00:15:29.66
He would not have
known this man over here
00:15:29.69\00:15:32.73
because this man here
is Ramesses the Great.
00:15:32.76\00:15:35.96
But I put him on the
screen because once again
00:15:36.00\00:15:38.47
you've got Moses in his name.
00:15:38.50\00:15:41.00
Ramesses actually is
Ramoses, born of the god Ra.
00:15:41.04\00:15:46.57
Amenhotep II which is
the son of Thutmose III.
00:15:46.61\00:15:52.81
There is Thutmose II was
the husband of Hatshepsut.
00:15:52.85\00:15:58.12
Seqenenre one of the
first great liberators
00:15:58.15\00:16:01.42
in the history of Egypt,
and here also is another one
00:16:01.46\00:16:05.29
of this famous
Moses kings Kamose.
00:16:05.33\00:16:10.77
The Bible seems to
indicate, it seems to indicate
00:16:10.80\00:16:16.10
that this boy could have became
00:16:16.14\00:16:21.04
the Pharaoh, the little boy.
00:16:21.08\00:16:23.41
Would you come over
here please with me,
00:16:23.45\00:16:25.58
come over here to
Hebrews 11:24, my friends.
00:16:25.61\00:16:31.05
Hebrews 11:24. It
is an amazing text.
00:16:31.09\00:16:37.86
The Bible says, "By faith Moses,
00:16:37.89\00:16:42.80
when he became of
age, refused to be called
00:16:42.83\00:16:47.17
the son of Pharaoh's daughter."
00:16:47.20\00:16:52.31
So he was up there
00:16:53.54\00:16:55.48
with the greatest of all people.
00:16:55.51\00:16:58.18
And this boy, he
wrote the first five books
00:16:58.21\00:17:01.05
of the Bible was in
line to became the Pharaoh.
00:17:01.08\00:17:07.02
Egypt was wealthy and powerful.
00:17:07.06\00:17:10.93
Whenever I've gone to Egypt,
I've been there so many times.
00:17:10.96\00:17:15.03
I'm dazed and amazed by
the glory of ancient Egypt.
00:17:15.06\00:17:21.14
When I see...
00:17:21.17\00:17:23.84
The pyramids,
when I see the gold,
00:17:23.87\00:17:28.21
when I see all of
these amazing things.
00:17:28.24\00:17:31.68
Here you have some
of the inscriptions
00:17:31.71\00:17:34.48
that were defaced by Pharaoh.
00:17:34.52\00:17:38.15
Peter, the old Coptic
Christian who showed me around
00:17:38.19\00:17:41.09
who is Howard
Carter's timekeeper
00:17:41.12\00:17:43.53
when I meet him
firstly 45 years ago.
00:17:43.56\00:17:46.19
He said to me, he
must have hated her
00:17:46.23\00:17:50.00
with an intense hatred.
00:17:50.03\00:17:52.50
Here you have the
Great Pyramids of Giza,
00:17:52.53\00:17:56.14
they takes us
back 4,600 years ago,
00:17:56.17\00:18:00.18
The Great Pyramid, my friend,
00:18:00.21\00:18:02.34
originally stood 480
feet high, 775 on each side.
00:18:02.38\00:18:09.05
Laid out exactly north-south,
east-west on a dead flat base.
00:18:09.08\00:18:13.59
It was considered to
be the cosmic mountain,
00:18:13.62\00:18:16.62
the dwelling place of the God's,
00:18:16.66\00:18:18.56
composed of two
million three hundred thousand
00:18:18.59\00:18:22.13
giant blocks of limestone.
00:18:22.16\00:18:25.30
If these big
pyramids were houses of death,
00:18:25.33\00:18:30.64
not as one
politician said recently,
00:18:30.67\00:18:33.68
they were used to store
grain, because they're solid.
00:18:33.71\00:18:38.65
But in the very
center, if you go inside
00:18:38.68\00:18:42.02
and we gonna take you
for a little journey now.
00:18:42.05\00:18:46.02
This is the Great Pyramid Cheops
00:18:46.05\00:18:49.52
and then you
have lesser pyramids
00:18:49.56\00:18:53.46
but these are tombs.
00:18:53.50\00:18:57.57
And they built the tombs
00:18:57.60\00:18:59.20
because of their
theology which was thanatology.
00:18:59.23\00:19:04.11
They believed that the
soul could only be preserved
00:19:04.14\00:19:09.41
if the body were preserved.
00:19:09.44\00:19:11.68
And this is why they practiced
the arts of mummification.
00:19:11.71\00:19:17.22
It is an amazing story.
00:19:17.25\00:19:20.26
I'm going to take you
now as we think of the glory,
00:19:20.29\00:19:22.59
the glory of ancient Egypt,
00:19:22.62\00:19:24.06
and Moses could
have had all the glory.
00:19:24.09\00:19:26.70
Of course, Moses came
about a thousand years
00:19:26.73\00:19:29.16
after the Great Pyramid.
00:19:29.20\00:19:30.57
But I want to take
you to the Karnak Temple.
00:19:30.60\00:19:34.64
It is the biggest worship site
00:19:34.67\00:19:38.21
in the history of the world,
00:19:38.24\00:19:41.31
It is more than one square mile.
00:19:41.34\00:19:45.51
Moses would have walked here
at least in some of the areas.
00:19:45.55\00:19:51.02
Did you know that the book that
you hold in your hands today
00:19:51.05\00:19:55.26
was born in the land of Egypt?
00:19:55.29\00:19:58.69
The first five
books of the Bible,
00:19:58.73\00:20:00.60
Penetude, Genesis, Exodus,
Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy
00:20:00.63\00:20:04.53
written by a
mighty Egyptian prince.
00:20:04.57\00:20:06.97
What a culture
gave birth to the Bible.
00:20:07.00\00:20:10.87
The Hypostyle Hall,
I want you to see this.
00:20:10.91\00:20:13.91
Look at this,
58,000 square feet.
00:20:13.94\00:20:16.91
This is one little
tiny section of Karnak.
00:20:16.95\00:20:20.08
Built after Moses by
Seti I and Ramesses the Great.
00:20:20.12\00:20:24.45
Some of the
columns are 75 feet high,
00:20:24.49\00:20:28.76
32 feet in circumference.
00:20:28.79\00:20:31.79
It represents a far east.
00:20:31.83\00:20:35.56
It is built next
to the primeval mound
00:20:35.60\00:20:39.03
where they believed
creation took place.
00:20:39.07\00:20:42.30
It's the Garden of Eden.
00:20:44.34\00:20:46.14
It represents
the Garden of Eden.
00:20:46.17\00:20:50.18
When you go to
Egypt, they shouts at you,
00:20:50.21\00:20:52.28
power, might, glory
00:20:52.31\00:20:57.32
and the Bible is true.
00:20:57.35\00:20:59.42
I want you to
notice, there's so much
00:20:59.45\00:21:00.92
I can show you, don't have time.
00:21:00.96\00:21:02.76
The amazing riches
of King Tut Tutankhamun.
00:21:02.79\00:21:07.93
The golden death mask.
00:21:07.96\00:21:11.73
I spend a full evening there,
00:21:11.77\00:21:14.90
just my team I wanted
to see some of the glory.
00:21:14.94\00:21:20.38
This is Dr. Randy
Younker and we're standing
00:21:20.41\00:21:23.95
and we're gazing at the gold.
00:21:23.98\00:21:27.82
Gold, gold, gold,
heaps of the stuff.
00:21:27.85\00:21:32.39
When people say the
Bible was exaggerating,
00:21:32.42\00:21:36.49
when the Bible spoke
about the glory of Egypt,
00:21:36.52\00:21:41.73
they have no idea.
00:21:41.76\00:21:45.03
Moses could have
had all of this stuff.
00:21:45.07\00:21:48.14
See this, could have had it all.
00:21:48.17\00:21:50.91
He was buried in a sarcophagus
00:21:50.94\00:21:54.94
within three
coffins made of gold
00:21:54.98\00:21:57.55
and then inside the shrines.
00:21:57.58\00:22:01.62
Some of the shrines
are so big covered in gold,
00:22:01.65\00:22:04.29
you could put a
big motor car inside.
00:22:04.32\00:22:06.99
Now the Bible tells us
00:22:07.02\00:22:09.06
it was this woman who went down,
00:22:09.09\00:22:11.09
found this little boy
if our dates are correct.
00:22:11.13\00:22:15.86
She brought him out.
00:22:15.90\00:22:18.27
There came a tremendous war
and the conflict in the palace
00:22:18.30\00:22:22.60
between Thutmosis and Moses,
00:22:22.64\00:22:26.31
Thutmosis, Egyptian,
and Moses the Hebrew.
00:22:26.34\00:22:32.35
Something else,
when I went there,
00:22:32.38\00:22:35.85
I saw all the Pharaohs.
00:22:35.88\00:22:38.05
I'm gonna tell you this
00:22:38.09\00:22:39.42
in the second
part of this program.
00:22:39.45\00:22:41.56
I saw the greatest man possibly
that the world has ever seen.
00:22:41.59\00:22:46.26
But there was one
person I didn't see.
00:22:46.29\00:22:48.10
I didn't see Moses.
00:22:50.63\00:22:53.10
The Bible talks about
00:22:53.13\00:22:54.47
slaves being
kept by the Egyptians.
00:22:54.50\00:22:58.24
For long time
skeptic said no, no, no,
00:22:58.27\00:23:00.18
the Egyptians
didn't keep slaves.
00:23:00.21\00:23:03.88
Went recently in
the Tomb of Rekhmire.
00:23:03.91\00:23:08.32
We had special
permission to go in there,
00:23:08.35\00:23:10.45
take television cameras.
00:23:10.49\00:23:13.12
Rekhmire was the vizier
00:23:13.15\00:23:18.26
of Thutmosis III,
00:23:18.29\00:23:23.00
who was the Pharaoh who said,
00:23:23.03\00:23:24.53
I will not let the
children of Israel go.
00:23:24.57\00:23:29.67
You see the slaves.
These were the slaves.
00:23:29.70\00:23:33.11
Some of these
people on the screen
00:23:33.14\00:23:35.34
could even be Hebrew slaves.
00:23:35.38\00:23:40.88
Because these people over
here who are doing the work
00:23:40.92\00:23:45.05
are not Egyptians
but they are the Semites.
00:23:45.09\00:23:51.26
Gonna try to do
something very fast now.
00:23:51.29\00:23:53.90
I'm gonna take you up to Hazor.
00:23:53.93\00:23:56.67
It's in the North of Israel
00:23:56.70\00:23:59.00
because when the
children of Israel
00:23:59.03\00:24:01.50
came out of the land of
Egypt, they overthrew Jericho.
00:24:01.54\00:24:06.27
And I'll show you
pictures about that,
00:24:06.31\00:24:08.24
but the biggest
archaeological site
00:24:08.28\00:24:11.01
in that part of
the world is Hazor.
00:24:11.05\00:24:15.12
And the Bible
actually says that Hazor,
00:24:15.15\00:24:18.55
you can read it in
the Book of Joshua,
00:24:18.59\00:24:20.49
it says that Hazor was destroyed
00:24:20.52\00:24:24.96
and burned with fire.
00:24:24.99\00:24:27.80
This is the ash from the fire.
00:24:27.83\00:24:30.77
From the people who came
up out of the land of Egypt
00:24:30.80\00:24:33.20
led by Moses,
then led by Joshua.
00:24:33.23\00:24:39.37
This is what is left.
00:24:39.41\00:24:41.84
Listen to me.
00:24:45.85\00:24:49.12
As I have gone to these places,
00:24:49.15\00:24:51.72
been out there sometimes
in the desert by myself alone.
00:24:51.75\00:24:57.06
Hurried back to camp at night
00:24:57.09\00:24:58.73
when the air
was getting chilled.
00:24:58.76\00:25:02.13
I kept saying to
myself, the Bible was right.
00:25:02.16\00:25:07.30
It was right about Egypt,
00:25:09.44\00:25:11.81
it's right about the glory.
00:25:11.84\00:25:14.04
It is right about Babylon,
00:25:14.08\00:25:17.11
right about Rome.
00:25:17.15\00:25:19.31
See, it was right
about the little princess.
00:25:19.35\00:25:25.85
Therefore...
00:25:25.89\00:25:29.96
Listen if this book
is true, if it is true,
00:25:29.99\00:25:36.46
if it is true
00:25:36.50\00:25:37.83
then it's the best
news you've ever heard.
00:25:37.87\00:25:40.50
You know why, you know why
00:25:40.54\00:25:42.87
because, because it tells you
there's a God and He loves you.
00:25:42.90\00:25:47.04
Amen.
00:25:47.08\00:25:48.41
And He's got a plan and
a purpose for your life.
00:25:48.44\00:25:51.21
You see.
00:25:51.25\00:25:52.71
As the Great Russian
said there is no God,
00:25:52.75\00:25:55.12
everything is permitted.
00:25:55.15\00:25:57.75
This hopelessness and despair,
00:25:57.79\00:26:00.42
you can see it
in today's society.
00:26:00.46\00:26:02.82
But if there's a
God who loves us,
00:26:02.86\00:26:06.19
then the future is
bright with promise and hope.
00:26:06.23\00:26:09.23
Hello, friend,
00:26:20.28\00:26:21.71
I'm John Carter in Havana, Cuba.
00:26:21.74\00:26:25.25
I'm standing here in
Revolutionary Square.
00:26:25.28\00:26:29.65
This great Square is dedicated
00:26:29.68\00:26:31.62
to the great
communist revolution
00:26:31.65\00:26:33.72
under Fidel that
came to this country
00:26:33.76\00:26:36.42
back 50, 60 years ago.
00:26:36.46\00:26:39.29
This place is still
undergoing a revolution.
00:26:39.33\00:26:43.33
We've come to check out
the reality of this situation.
00:26:43.37\00:26:48.04
Freedom of speech is
not allowed here still.
00:26:48.07\00:26:51.44
Preaching the
gospel out of doors
00:26:51.47\00:26:53.51
is not allowed here still.
00:26:53.54\00:26:55.94
Whatever you hear
about reconciliation,
00:26:55.98\00:26:58.48
nothing has really changed.
00:26:58.51\00:27:01.68
We've been told, we cannot
run public campaigns in Cuba,
00:27:01.72\00:27:07.46
in any part of this world.
00:27:07.49\00:27:10.19
We can run meetings in
churches, that's allowed.
00:27:10.23\00:27:13.86
So what are we gonna do?
00:27:13.90\00:27:15.63
We're going to
support the people of God
00:27:15.66\00:27:17.07
in this part of the world.
00:27:17.10\00:27:18.63
We're going to
step through those doors
00:27:18.67\00:27:20.77
as God opens those doors.
00:27:20.80\00:27:23.67
We're not going to
come and cause a commotion
00:27:23.71\00:27:28.04
and cause trouble
to the people of God.
00:27:28.08\00:27:31.21
We will work diligently
and as wise as serpents
00:27:31.25\00:27:36.69
and as harmless as doves.
00:27:36.72\00:27:39.95
Stand with us in the
preaching of the gospel,
00:27:39.99\00:27:42.86
wherever it is, stand with us.
00:27:42.89\00:27:45.29

And let us go forward for
a mighty spiritual revolution
00:27:56.30\00:28:01.11
as we take the gospel of Christ
00:28:01.14\00:28:04.18
to the lost around the
world as God opens the doors.
00:28:04.21\00:28:08.78
