ESCAPE FROM PLANET EGYPT

Part X

In Part IX of the present work, we moved into the time of King Solomon – even as we examined the Egyptian inscriptions at the temple of Deir El Bahari, where Egyptian writings detailed Queen Hatshepsut's well documented journey to what was called "God's land."

Contrary to the mainstream chronology which has Hatshepsut (also known as Makere) in the 15^th century BC, as a contemporary of Solomon, she lived in the middle of the 9^th century BC. As we detailed in Part IX, she was the Queen of Sheba, the daughter of Pharaoh Thutmose I, and the book of I Kings indicates that she married Solomon.

"King Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites" (I Kings 11:1).

We note how Makere, as the Queen of Sheba, is mentioned first in this list, which is certainly consistent with the standing of the kingdom of the Pharaohs in this period. Obviously, these marriages were politically expedient – however, they violate the most basic of the LORD's commandments.

"[The foreign wives were from] the nations concerning which the Lord said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto them in love" (I Kings 11:2).

As has been repeatedly pointed out, once a revisionist shifts the timeline, the balance of sequential episodes must also line up. In other words, when we recognize the Queen of Sheba as, Hatshepsut (and we see she does not belong in the 15^th century BC, but the 9^th century as a contemporary of Solomon), the Egyptian history that immediately follows Hatshepsut should accurately align with the Hebrew history following Solomon.

After Makere (Hatshepsut) returned to Egypt from her visit to the land of "Punt" (Israel), Egyptian inscriptions tell us she shifted to a co-regency with Thutmose III. Hatshepsut's father was Thutmose I, and research indicates that Makere's co-regent was either her step-son, or the nephew of Thutmose I.

It is unclear whether or not as a youth he accompanied Makere to visit Solomon, but the abundant descriptions of the fabulous wealth of Solomon must have profoundly impacted him.

After Makere died, Thutmose III came to power as the Pharaoh, and there are abundant records of his career as a military conqueror. The temple of Amon-Ra at Karnak has extensive hieroglyphics describing his life and military achievemants.

As Solomon grew old, the Scriptures tell us he turned away from the LORD – even as he mingled the worship of the various heathen devils associated with his many wives – with the religion of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

"Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon. And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods" (I Kings 11:7,8).

Obviously, the LORD judged the supposedly wise king, but the text tells us for the sake of his father David whom God loved, the LORD promised to take the kingdom away from the house of David after Solomon was gone.

"Thou has not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded thee…Notwithstanding in thy days I will not do it for David the father's sake: but will rend it out of the hand of thy son" (I Kings 11:11,12).

Meanwhile, in the land of Edom to the South, insurrection was brewing. The Edomite descendants of Esau had been kept in line through David's military power. Prince Hadad, who was one of many Edomite relatives of Solomon, had fled to Egypt to plot a revolt against Jerusalem.

"And Hadad found great favour in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him to wife the sister of his own wife" (I Kings 11:19).

Solomon had appointed Jeroboam, a capable leader from the tribe of Ephraim, to manage the affairs of the Northern part of the kingdom, while he ruled the nation from Jerusalem. As Solomon aged, he began to fear that Jeroboam had ambitions to lead the Northern 10 tribes and secede from Jerusalem's rule, so he sought to kill Jeroboam.

When Jeroboam realized that Solomon wanted to eliminate him as a potential rival, he also fled to Egypt, where he was welcomed. As if this was not enough opposition, Rezon, an upstart Syrian leader in Damascus also desired to break away from the subservience to Israel established by David's military machine.

The Old Testament details how Rehoboam, Solomon's son, came to power in the holy city of Jerusalem at the foolish king's death. Moreover, Rehoboam travelled to the Northern territories of the 10 tribes to meet with the leaders, who asked him to lighten the oppressive taxation imposed by Solomon. He disregarded the advice of his elders and, in the midst of the intrigue and rebellion which was brewing in the land, he sought to rule with a heavy hand.

"[They said] thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore make thou the grievous services of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, lighter, and we will serve thee"

"[And Rehoboam responded] whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke: my father hath chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions" (I Kings 12:4, 11).

The Northern tribes were furious at his response, so the rebellion began – and Jeroboam (who had returned from his exile in Egypt to confront Rehoboam), was made king.

Meanwhile, the Pharaoh, having heard since he was a boy about the fabulous wealth in Jerusalem, planned his invasion of the kingdom of Israel. With Hadad the Edomite, and Jeroboam the Ephraimite both in Egypt, the Pharaoh was positioned to utilize their influence in their respective lands to install them as vassals once he had taken the land of Judah.

In the temple at Karnak, the inscriptions of Thutmose III, tell us the Pharaoh knew the time was right to invade Israel, and he recorded that fact:

"Now at that time the Asiatics had fallen into disagreement each man fighting against his neighbor" (Records of Ancient Egypt, JH Breasted, Vol II, section 416).

After the Northern tribes realized that Solomon's son Rehoboam was going to deal harshly with them, the king sent a tax collector to test their resolve, and see if Israel was truly going to revolt from his reign.

"Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the tribute; and all Israel stoned him with stones that he died" (I Kings 12:18).

After planning to bring troops against the rebellious kingdom under Jeroboam, through a prophet, the LORD instructed Rehoboam not to pursue a civil war with his brethren in the Northern kingdom, now known as Samaria.

Further, with Rezon the Syrian and Hadad the Edomite both in rebellion (and refusing to pay the customary tribute to Rehoboam), Thutmose III recognized the embattled king in Jerusalem might very well submit to the Egyptian threat, so he moved militarily to intimidate Jerusalem.

"And it came to pass, that in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had transgressed against the LORD" (II Chronicles 12:2).

Without the might of the 10 Northern tribes to assist in defending the nation, and only the Benjamites and the Judaeans loyal to Jerusalem, the Southern kingdom was seriously outmatched by the Pharaoh. The king, his prophet Shemaiah, and the princes of Judah – recognizing they were about to be destroyed by the vast Egyptian force -- humbled themselves before the LORD, and submitted to the Pharaoh.

"So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house; he took all: he carried away also the shields of gold which Solomon had made" (II Chronicles 12:9).

To put it another way, the Shishak who plundered the temple in Jerusalem when Solomon's son Rehoboam was king, was Thutmose III – the Pharaoh whose reign followed Hatshepsut, the Queen of Sheba, who married Rehoboam's father Solomon.

The Egyptian temple at Karnak has a large wall with inscriptions describing the items taken during a great military campaign into Palestine by Pharaoh Thutmose III. These pictographs include ten rows with images of hundreds of sacred items made from gold and silver, and precious stones. These items, now dedicated to the Egyptian deity Amon-Ra, show enormous wealth, intricate carvings, furnishings, vessels, and utensils used for religious rituals.

In short, the incredible wealth accumulated by Solomon is seen in pictographic from on the Karnak temple walls. The similarities between the items seen in Karnak and the many descriptions of sacred vessels described in the Bible are too detailed to be coincidental. Moreover, imagery of botanical gardens is also seen at Karnak – and these match the descriptions of Solomon's botanical gardens documented at Deir El Bahari by the Queen of Sheba.

However, the scholars tell us these items cannot possibly be from the Jerusalem temple, because Thutmose III – whose reign immediately followed that of Hatshepsut -- must also have occurred in the 15^th century BC. As the Scriptures coherently tell us Solomon's son Rehoboam lived in the 9^th BC – the consensus chronology says the plunder documented on the walls of the temple at Karnak could not possibly be from the great temple constructed by Solomon.

Further, they tell us all of these priceless items must have been taken from Canaan/Palestine before Joshua and the children of Israel even entered the promised land – at a time when Canaanite tribal development was still in an extremely backward state!

The truth is, there is far more than a simple chronological error that is being exposed in the facts contained in this exposition. The charade that the Canaanites were, in fact, a highly developed society well before the Israelite incursion is part of a much deeper fraud – a deception that is indeed conspiratorial in nature.

Unfortunately, since mainstream history has long rejected the Biblical data regarding the multi-generational plot emanating into our world from the Spiritual dimension, very few are in a position to appreciate the information.

Even those who count themselves as believers in the Word of God are widely unaware of the truth concerning the scholarly assertion that mature and sophisticated religious writings dedicated to Baal were allegedly discovered by the Israelites when they entered Canaan, and the consensus view the Hebrews supposedly plagiarized from those documents to produce significant portions of the Old Testament.

The erroneous conclusion that heathen accounts documenting the conquest of Canaan/Palestine by the Egyptian Pharaoh Thutmose III occurred in the 15^th century, indicates that long before the Israelite subjugation, the Canaanites were wealthy, literate, and highly moral in terms of their religious beliefs.

In this faulty narrative, the golden chariots, exquisitely designed temple accouterments, and incredibly ornate religious vessels from the glorious temple of Solomon's era, are transported to an earlier age, and misrepresented as the product of a boorish and animalistic people who worshiped devils and sacrificed their children to further their primitive desires.

The Canaanite records in question tell of the great flood (with the Noah character recorded with a Mesopotamian name), an account of gods who created mankind in an Edenic setting, and the familiar tale of the fall of angels and humanity.

The present work showing how crucial historical accounts have been significantly misdated (including the current chapter indicating that Pharaoh Thutmose III actually invaded Israelite Palestine in the 9^th century BC instead of the consensus view that it occurred in the pre-Israelite Palestine of the 15^th century), helps to expose the fact that scholars erroneously concluded the Mesopotamian records that we refer to as the Baal Bible is the original, and the Old Testament Hebrews plagiarized the work to produce the Old Testament!

The net result of this massive miscalculation is a Spiritually driven sword thrust at the throat of the Old Testament, in that the scholarly consensus is now recapitulating the ancient sin of Solomon, who sought to synthesize the beliefs of his heathen women, with the divinely distributed knowledge of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Further, the aforementioned conspiracy of the ages guarantees anyone seeking to shine the holy light of truth to the Spiritually darkened world we inhabit, will face a hostile and malevolent entity that few even believe exists.

Notwithstanding that ominous fact, that is precisely what the knowledge embedded in Escape From Planet Egypt is designed to do – but the next phase of Christian Media's reconstruction of ancient history, which resynchronizes secular sequence s with the Holy Bible, will have to wait for our next installment.
