9. Egypt and the Era of the Israelite Judges 

Homer's Odessey contains a section in which Ulysses meets up with Nestor who fought in the Trojan War. In that conversation, Nestor said that his countrymen after they left Troy were blown off course in a storm. They were blown across the Mediterranean and landed in Egypt where they fought a major battle with the Egyptians and then fled by sea. I think that Nestor's men were the sea people in the battle in the Nile Delta. The Myceneans were not taken up by the Sea People, they WERE the sea people.

Using these videos to help with cultural context for new believers as we go through the Bible. So glad all this is here.

Thank You for making these lectures available to all. They enrich one's understanding of 'Redemptive History'.

This series is excellent! It came about when I searched for some Alex the great videos in context of Scripture. I'm backtracking and watching the series from the beginning. Liked and subscribed.

"Not one thing that God has promised to us/believers as He failed to provide."

Cannot get enough of these videos!! Thank you so much for the thorough research and time you’ve dedicated to exploring these topics and making the information available to all

This channel is a gold mine!

God has created this rich cosmos we people are still fighting to share it.Loved the way it was put.

I like your "cause and effect" historic presentation. God is the mover of history to bring about His goal of establishing the one event of the "doing and dying and rising of His Son" for our redemption and the subduing the whole world of the rebellious activity of mankind.

You are so gracious..lol..this is fascinating riveting stuff..I’m glued to the screen...I know you are the same way...yet you acknowledge that the congregation may not have the same enthusiasm (for unknown reasons, because its weird that this doesnt enchant everyone, lol)

How do we resolve the idea that "Apiru" can mean Hebrew, with the knowledge that "Hebrew" comes from Eber?

Awesome thanks 🙏🏽

@BruceGore, do you have any opinions about the blackened rock mountain that was discovered along with the golden calf alter (which now has chain-linked fence around it) discovered at the base of the mountain? The ancient Hebrews warnings etched into the rocks also at the mountain base. Archaeologists have also discovered other Hebrew alters, wells, twelve pillars, the rock of Horeb. Lots of cool stuff.

The Akenathen move to monotheism is really interesting point. Did he see or heard stories from his father about that people with one God who brought Egypt and its gods to it’s knees?

Huge fan!

I have compiled data that more points to amenhotep III as pharoah of exodus, and his son, akenaton tried to imitate moses. this timeline and situation fits much better. BTW, both amenhotep III and his son akenaton were both the second born, their firsborn elder brothers both died mysteriously.

Ron whyatt found the real red Sea crossing. They ​left evidence that they were there as well marking the crossing with a column and writings on stones of the sacrifice or worshipping of bulls as it is written in the book of Exodus.

God’s promise was conditional if they would hold the covenants. They “were chosen” as long as they keep their promise. That land would only be given by GOD to those who hold the covenants. The land will “vomit” the corrupt, hypocrites and wicked.

Hello thank you for sharing this information I'm researching this I want to build Bible adventureland in (scale model for now) is there any way I can contact you ? #MUCfreelife

This man is very wise

the term "seed is mo more" was used often on stele's as Egypt was the main grain supplier and would destroy seed to increase trade in Egypt when doing war. Nothings changed :-(

According to the Maps the Hittites did not move one inch further south from 1350 during Ankhenaton's reign upto 1278 when Ramses went up to Kadesh. So what force or negotiations stopped them there over that quite long period?

I’m loving his teaching so far. Except I can hear a bit of supersession ideas. God will fulfil His promise on the land still

Shamgar is a son of Anat; Anat was Ba’al’s consort. Also, Ba’al’s father is Dagan

Hi Bruce. I'm really enjoying your lessons so far. Just wondering, from the tail end of this lesson it sounds as though you have a bit of a replacement theology. Is that so?

The Pharoah went quiet BECAUSE HIS ARMY WAS DROWNED IN THE RED SEA. That would've taken the wind out of anyone's sails hahahaha Especially if he actually witnessed it. And as you've pointed out before, they wouldn't have written that down

sea peoples settle in south of israel as philistines/romans 4 replaces the limited literal land of israel to include the whole world that is now the spiritual/intellectual wise land of israel

It was a mixed multitude...not just the children if Israel that left Kemet.

Could the sea people be displaced Canaanites?

Good morning, mr Gore. I'm a christian from Indonesia I have some questions about the canaan. When the Israelite conquered canaan, why there're a lot of kingdom living in the canaan? Supposely that Egypt empire rule the canaan

At this point in time the Philistines hadn’t been settled in the decapolis. The sea people hadn’t invaded yet.

Very interesting, though I can't understand how could the Israelites conquer Canaan, if it was under Egypt's control all of the time?

Is Kadesh the same as Kadeshbarnea?

Thotmos and the removal of the sand ar the feet, is the "Cats Paw" of ?.....

Amarna Letters?

i am an Amhara intellectual

What about the new Jerusalem menationed in the New Testament? Is that not referring to the land at least in a future sense?

sir I thoroughly enjoy you at the end you mentioned a guy by the name of Paul wasn't he a Roman and what he trying to appease the Romans and try not to like upset the Roman establishment by saying that the land wasn't given by the king and trying to appease the Caesar by saying rule is in the cosmos not physically the land and I didn't James the beloved Jesus old brother excuse me older brother try to get Paul kill why do we keep trying to call Paul hard wouldn't even like by the other disciples ....i await ur understanding tuhank u

Wow you had me up until you started talking about The Cosmos. Whaaaaat? Sounds like replacement theology to me.

Two million people wandering in the wilderness for 40 years?!?

Isn't it MER- NEP-THAH , not Merenptah

The Apiru is a good guess because the term "Hebrew" comes from "Eberites" in Semitic tongues. BUT, it's possible that the Children of Israel who were in bondage in Egypt are different than the Hebrews or "Ibriyah" in Arabic and a similar conjugation in Akkadi or Sumerian or whatever was spoken in that region then. It's all Semitic tongues except for the Hittites, who are Japhetic or Proto-Turk. It's typical for Semites to fight against each other by allying with other non-semites and find more in common out of the differences. As far as Merneptah, he was the one who died by drowning, not his father, Ramses II. The story about him being a smaller man than his Great father, qualitatively agrees with this fact too, that Merneptah was the Pharaoh of the Exodus. As far as the Sea Peoples...are you sure you guys got the syntax of the hieroglyph language right? Are they talking about the people who caused the drowning of their people (army and King) in the Sea? There would have been those who stayed behind and had to pick up the pieces, including the recovery of the Pharaoh's body to be brought home and mummified. As far as the city called Kadesh, it has always been the city of Jerusalem. There were some other "Holy" cities around there too, due to shrines or miracles, but the term is still synonymous with Jerusalem in the Semitic world, till this very day, due to the revival of semitic religion by the Arabs and Islam. "Al-Quds" is exactly "Kodesh or Kadesh" as the "holy" city.

If moses was heading east ,why did'nt he just follow the oldest road in the word.Isn't Palestine on the road to UR.Secondly moses cross the Sea of reed that is or was red.The current Red Sea is not red ,the river Nile does not flow into the red sea to turn it red.Finally reed grows in fresh water.Common sense Moses came upon a part of the road that was underwater due to the Nile overflowing its bank.Moses knew the road,so he grab a stick,line up the people in a single file.Using tbe stick to probe the deepness he led the people thu.As i said elementry my boy.

Surely you must know that 'Red Sea' was an english mistranslation of 'Reed Sea'? They crossed over a marshy wadi at the northern end , not a supposed land bridge across the deepest part

If Egypt still controlled Canaan when the Israelites settled there, how where they able to do all the conquering they did without any interference from Egypt?

SEA PEOPLE! 🧜‍♀️

Habiru,appiru in Egyptian descriptions means desert robber.These Habiru, apiru slaves were driven out of Egypt /exodus/. They made a living looting and murdering merchants.They were blamed during the epidemic, which is why they were driven away as male slaves. Moses could not have been one of them, because Sargon's life story was not copied until later.

Cosmos and universe come from the kaballah.

What kind of name is Yahweh? Hebrews didn't came from that side btw. Akhenaten was not pacifist. He is Yaya. There is a winner at Kadesh. It's Hittites. Cut the p. Philistines are natives there. Not the hyksos occupators from Arabia and nubia etc.

Sea Peoples? Philistines?

The Bible is quite clear in pointing out that Bitya, daughter of Pharaoh who rescued Moses, left Egypt with Moses, and married a Hebrew by whom she had children. She was obviously not Hatchepsut.

If Amenhotep II is the Pharoah of the Exodus, and the exodus happened in 1447, he cannot rule from 1450:to 1419. According to Psalms 136:15, both the Pharoah and his army were swept into the Red Sea.

It was Ramsis third WHO defeated sea people Not MernBtah.

Akhenaten is regarded as History's first monotheist. Curious why the good proff didn't mention this or maybe its because he must know that literally everyone in that time was polytheistic including the Hebrews.There is a difference between the Hebrew faith before the Babylonian exile and the Jewish one that came after Cyrus released *ALL* captives of war..not just the jews. The good proff must also explicitly know about or actually even published papers(if he's as good as I think he is) about the three versions namely the Elohist,priestly and Jawheist versions that were compiled to form the edited manuscripts that underlined the new improved faith that became exclusively monotheistic after the second temple was built.

Great teaching. However, according to this, Egypt had all of Canaan at this time, so Israelites escaped Egypt and moved to...Egypt.

No historical evidence of an Exodus, and also no historical evidence of Egypt having Hebrew slaves. No worries though.

Mixing fictional characters with real once is not good...... 😂😂😂😂😂

I was doing okay right up until the gentleman said that God doesn’t fail to give us his promises. I could not say that to the countless slaves, rape victims, families of people who lost loved ones to senseless violence and prayed their loved ones would pull through. Add to that the millions that quickly or slowly died to disease. I know what I say is polarizing. Since I do not believe in a god I go out of my way to assist and comfort others when I can. Jesus famously told for people to ask for things in his name and they would get them, but this does not work all the time. Wake up, folks. If you want to improve yourself or someone else’s life be bold and do so. You cannot know the power and reach of even the smallest kindness.

Akenhaten looks like a thin glorified Trump, and that makes Melania Nefertiti. And oops. That makes Tut ...

I am sorry to have to correct you; prior to 1948 there was never been been a land in history named “Israel”. Israel in the Bible is a second name given to Jacob. As a matter of a fact and correct me if I am wrong, jews established a real sovereign kingdom ruled by the Israelites was only for about 80 years during the kingdom of David and Solomon and that’s it!!! Their presence in that region was always under the rule of a much greater powers; be it the Canaanites, Babylonians, Greeks, Persians, Romans or Othomans. 80 years of true independent rule until 1948.

You failed to mention key facts during that period, all to preserve your christian beliefs! lol Facts or facts! Good basic information though!

You are the first Protestant i heard who actually knows the accurate history of world events as recorded in the Bible, and not making heretic ridiculous fantasies or lost tribe theories. These are great history lessons. You are wasting your God given talent on the unchristian Protestant cults, so please convert, either to the Roman Catholic church or to the Roman Orthodox church (like us Russians. God bless🙏☦
