Why did our ancient ancestors, who had no knowledge of this God of the Bible, look to heaven as the source of power they knew intrinsically existed? Why do their ancient ruins in the earth, through their very construction, reveal the builders preoccupation with the light of day we call the sun? Was their devotion to the Sun, in a way prophetic, predicting man's future devotion to the Son? Could Ra, the Egyptian Sun god, and Jesus, the Son of God, be emanating the same spiritual truth?

Look at the Egyptian pharaoh Akhenaten, who did away with the worshipping of many gods, proclaiming there was only one god, the sun god Ra? And Abraham of the Bible, who left the worshipping of many gods in the land of Ur to worship one God in the land of Canaan. And Joseph, the favored son of Jacob, who after becoming an Egyptian was given great power, second only to Pharaoh, dedicated to the worshipping of one God, as Akhenaten before him. And Moses, who after living forty years as an Egyptian was introduced to the God of his fathers: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, leaving Egypt only to return forty years later to retrieve his brothers the Hebrews out of a land that worshipped many gods, and bring them into a new land where they would worship one God. And last but not least, Jesus, the "Light" of the World, the "Ra" of Judea, who came to bring his brothers the Jews out of the bondage of serving many laws, as Moses had brought his brothers out of the bondage of serving many gods. Today there exists many religious truths, but there is only one spiritual truth, revealed through a symbolic code.

I believe these Biblical figures entered Egypt to show us the importance of bringing the word of God back to the spirit, bringing a spiritual interpretation to the word of God in what is now the third and final Era of Jacob, the third and final Era of Spirit!
