If this is so, then the entire history of the book of Exodus—which is foundational to understanding God’s dealings with humanity throughout history, and which is repeatedly referred to throughout the rest of the Bible—is a lie! Are these ‘experts’ correct? Or, if they are wrong, how could they be _so_ wrong? Join researcher, author, and speaker, Gary Bates, for a fascinating and helpful look at the many ways in which Egyptian history lines up perfectly with biblical history. The evidence is there, provided you look in the right time period! ⏳ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Teaser 00:42 Introduction: Is there evidence that the Israelites lived in Egypt? 02:09 What made Egypt unique in the ancient world? 04:20 A brief overview of ancient Egyptian history – based on Manetho’s record 07:28 How can we know when the Israelites were in Egypt? 07:48 → Evidence that the Pharoah of Joseph’s time was a Hyksos—not a native Egyptian 12:08 → When were the Israelites enslaved in Egypt? 12:51 → The transition from a friendly Hyksos Pharoah to an unfriendly native Egyptian Pharoah 12:58 → Seqenenre Tao fails to expel the Hyksos 13:22 → Kamose fails to expel the Hyksos 13:36 → Ahmose _succeeds_ in expelling the Hyksos, ushering in the ‘New Kingdom’ period 15:10 How can we determine the date/period when the Exodus happened? 16:40 Who was the Pharaoh of the Exodus? 17:05 → Background: The Pharoah who changed Egyptian policy (Thutmose III) and the princess who rescued Moses (Hatshepsut) 18:41 → Biblical match #1: A 40-year reign while Moses was in exile (Thutmose III) 19:56 → Biblical match #2: A NON-firstborn Pharaoh opposes Moses at the Exodus (Amenhotep II) 20:46 → Biblical match #3: A NON-firstborn Pharaoh succeeds the Pharoah of the Exodus (Thutmose IV) 21:50 → Biblical match #4: Huge slave-gathering excursions (by Amenhotep II, _after_ the Exodus) 24:02 Pharaohs that explored monotheism after the Exodus (e.g. ‘Akhenaten the heretic’)? 27:22 Evidence for the post-Exodus conquest of former Egyptian vassal territories by the Apiru/Habiru 30:54 The oldest reference to the nation of Israel is found in Egypt! 32:57 Why don’t secular experts acknowledge that all this evidence matches the Bible? 33:28 → They object to the idea that the Bible is a reliable record 34:18 → They are looking for evidence in the wrong time period (updated place names caused some confusion) 37:41 Conclusion: When you start with the Bible, the evidence falls into place! ✍️ LINKS AND SHOW NOTES • Egyptian chronology and the Bible—framing the issues – https://creation.com/egypt-chronology • Who Was the Pharaoh of Exodus? https://youtu.be/lgGoiyVE6B4 • Were the Egyptian pyramids built before the Flood? https://creation.com/pyramids-before-flood • Time fears the pyramids?
