INTRODUCTION: Exodus 5 • Anytime You See Egypt in the Bible, It's ___________________________________________________ EXODUS INTRODUCTION: Exodus 5 • Anytime you see Egypt in the Bible, it’s symbolic of the world system • Now for those of you who don’t know what the world system is... • I googled it for you so now I’m an expert! • Everyone knows google knows everything about everything and everything you read on google is true! So now I’m an expert! • According to Immanuel Wallerstein, in the book World System History, a world system is the social reality in which we operate and the social system whose rules constrain us... it’s a system under law • He further elaborates in his book The Modern World System that a social system includes boundaries, structures, member groups, rules or laws of legitimation and coherence • A world system includes the rules or laws of a society, the bureaucratic structures, division of labor, national economies and the political centers that govern them Paul in the iconic passage on spiritual warfare says... Ephesians 6:12 (NKJV) 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. • Principalities is the Gr. word “arche” which refers to the “archangels” that exercise authority over the world systems which include governments, religions and economies • Michael is the archangel assigned to Israel and what we are seeing in the Middle East is a spiritual battle between Michael and the other archangels over the world systems in the region. • Powers is the Gr. Word “exousia” and it refers to “legal authority” and this warfare happens through the legal system of a sovereign nation • The correct definition of sovereign is the power to make and enforce law • Thus what we are seeing in America is a power struggle between the Kingdom of God and the World System • Rulers is the Gr. Word “kosmokratoras” and it refers to national leaders who are under the influence of the World System • We see this with Isis, Hamas, Russia, Korea, China and Europe • Spiritual hosts of wickedness refer to fallen angels assigned to tempt people towards wickedness using evil desires THE WORLD SYSTEM © 2020 Holland Davis ___________________________________________________ EXODUS • This is the power structure behind the World System • The world system tells you how to act, how to be successful, how to fit in and who has the power to make and enforce law In the days of Adam, Noah and Moses... the world system was global • But in our modern society, we have several world systems with multi- state political structures • America and the westernized nations are a world system... Russia is a world system... China, the nations under Islam and third world countries individually have independent world systems • The Bible teaches that all world systems are spiritually dominated by principalities, powers and rulers of the darkness of this age • AND all world systems are temporal... they are of this world and will end when God sets up His literal Kingdom on earth All world systems are based on the government of man without God • Even in America where the pledge of allegiance states that we are one nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all • Yet our Declaration of Independence states that the power of government is derived from the consent of the governed or in Abraham Lincolns terms... government of the people by the people • It is not God who governs, but the people govern themselves • Thus as great as America is... it is still a world system that is not governed by God... we are a democratic republic not a theocracy THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE WORLD SYSTEM • The first world system developed under Cain in Genesis 4 • In Genesis 4, Satan infiltrates Adam’s family through Cain and Cain murders Abel • But remember, man has a FREE WILL, the power to CHOOSE • Before Cain murders Abel, God offers Cain a way out Genesis 4:6–7 (NKJV) 6 So the LORD said to Cain, “Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen? 7 If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it.” THE WORLD SYSTEM © 2020 Holland Davis ___________________________________________________ EXODUS • Notice, vs. 7 the issue is will the desire for sin rule over Cain or will Cain rule over the desire for sin? Young’s Literal Translation says it like this... vs. 7 Genesis 4:7 (YLT) 7Is there not, if thou dost well, acceptance? and if thou dost not well, at the opening a sin-offering is crouching, and unto thee its desire, and thou rulest over it.’ • Cain you have a choice there is a sin offering at the door for you • Keep this image in mind when we get to the Passover and God tells Israel to put the blood of the Lamb on the doorposts... remember, everything in scripture ties together • In Genesis 4, God provided Himself a sin offering for Cain, but Cain didn’t take it • Instead he offered his body to Satan to be used as an instrument of evil • This is why Paul says in Romans 6:13... do not present the parts of your body to sin as an instrument of unrighteousness • Cain presented himself to become an instrument of unrighteousness and by doing so, Satan uses Cain to set up the first godless society, the world system that is against God • Satan begins to dominate the world through man • This is why John says... do not love the world or anything in the world for the Father is not in them (1 John 2:15) • John is speaking of the world system After the flood... the world system continues through Noah’s son Ham • The grandson of Ham is Nimrod, the founder of Babel Nineveh • Nimrod was known to be a cruel and powerful person • In fact, Nimrod’s name means “let us be rebellious” or “let us revolt” • Now, as part of the curse, God told Noah in Genesis 9:2, the animals would attack mankind and Nimrod gained a name for himself as a mighty hunter before the Lord • He was one who deliberately hunted and slaughtered animals and the people saw him as a hero, a defender of mankind • But the term “before the Lord” is better translated “against the Lord” THE WORLD SYSTEM © 2020 Holland Davis ___________________________________________________ EXODUS • Thus, Nimrod used his natural skill and charisma to build a strong centralized society, a self-sufficient civilization to dominate and control the world through a network of cities on the Tigris and Euphrates rivers • Here’s the key... this “world system” was not governed by God... it was governed by a man, a strong charismatic political leader Nimrod also invented the first false religion • Nimrod’s wife was Semiramis and she influenced Nimrod to worship the moon god, which was the local deity of the village she was born in • Today the moon god is known as Allah • Nimrod referred to her as the Queen of Heaven and Nimrod deified himself as the sun God or the Lord of heaven • They had a son named Damu or Dammuzi which is translated Tammuz in Hebrew who becomes the reincarnation of Nimrod after his death • This false religion worshipped the “heavenly hosts” or the fallen angels resulting in the direct worship of Satan and ritual demonic possession • Through this organized society, this world system, Nimrod sought to build a tower to be used as a link between heaven and earth, between fallen angels and man in order to corrupt mankind • The culmination of this world system was the Tower of Babel which God judged by confusing the languages of man and establishing the nations of the world... all governed by individual world systems • This is the state of the world today • It’s after the Tower of Babel in Genesis 11 that God establishes His Kingdom through Abraham • From this point forward you have two opposing Kingdoms... the Kingdom of God and the World System dominated by Satan who is referred to as the god of this world • The World System is visible, the Kingdom of God is invisible • BUT the Kingdom of God is made visible through God’s people • When we come to Exodus 5 where Moses and Aaron confront Pharaoh • We have a picture of the Kingdom of God confronting the World System In Exodus 5 we see the characteristics of the world system Exodus 5:1–9 (NKJV) 5 Afterward Moses and Aaron went in and told Pharaoh, “Thus says the LORD God of Israel: ‘Let My people go, that they may hold a feast to Me in the wilderness.’ ” 2 And Pharaoh said, “Who is the LORD, that I should obey His voice to let Israel go? I do not know the LORD, nor will I let Israel go.” THE WORLD SYSTEM © 2020 Holland Davis ___________________________________________________ EXODUS 3 So they said, “The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Please, let us go three days’ journey into the desert and sacrifice to the LORD our God, lest He fall upon us with pestilence or with the sword.” 4 Then the king of Egypt said to them, “Moses and Aaron, why do you take the people from their work? Get back to your labor.” 5 And Pharaoh said, “Look, the people of the land are many now, and you make them rest from their labor!” 6 So the same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people and their officers, saying, 7 “You shall no longer give the people straw to make brick as before.

  • The Garment of Adam in Jewish, Muslim, and Christian Tradition
    24 The Garmentof Adam in Jewish, Muslim, and ChristianTradition Stephen D. Ricks Although rarely occurring in any detail, the motif of Adam's garment appears with surprising frequency in ancient Jewish and Christian literature. (I am using the term "Adam's garment" as a cover term to include any garment bestowed by a divine being to one of the patri­ archs that is preserved and passed on, in many instances, from one generation to another. I will thus also consider garments divinely granted to other patriarchal figures, including Noah, Abraham, and Joseph.) Although attested less often than in the Jewish and Christian sources, the motif also occurs in the literature of early Islam, espe­ cially in the Isra'iliyyiit literature in the Muslim authors al­ ThaclabI and al-Kisa'I as well as in the Rasii'il Ikhwiin al­ ~afa (Epistles of the Brethren of Purity). Particularly when discussing the garment of Adam in the Jewish tradition, I will shatter chronological boundaries, ranging from the biblical, pseudepigraphic, and midrashic references to the garment of Adam to its medieval attestations. 1 In what fol­ lows, I wish to consider (1) the garment of Adam as a pri­ mordial creation; (2) the garment as a locus of power, a symbol of authority, and a high priestly garb; and (3) the garment of Adam and heavenly robes. 2 705 706 STEPHEN D. RICKS 1. The Garment of Adam as a Primordial Creation The traditions of Adam's garment in the Hebrew Bible begin quite sparely, with a single verse in Genesis 3:21, where we are informed that "God made garments of skins for Adam and for his wife and clothed them." Probably the oldest rabbinic traditions include the view that God gave garments to Adam and Eve before the Fall but that these were not garments of skin (Hebrew 'or) but instead gar­ ments of light (Hebrew 'or).

  • Nimrod's False Religion
    WHY WE PUBLISH THE SCRIPTURES and NIMROD’S FALSE RELIGION N. Sebastian Desent, Ph.D., Th.D., D.D., Pastor, Historic Baptist Church In Genesis chapter 1 we find that in the beginning God created all things. God created man, and man understood the true nature of God. People were mono-theists, and knew the true God was the Creator. Although not all men worshipped and obeyed the true God, they knew there was only one God (Genesis chapter 6). This standard understanding continued after the fall, and even continues until today; however, a false religion soon appeared after God created Adam and Eve (Genesis 3). Satan corrupted mono-theism by claiming man could become as gods. This is still the great lie: that man can become a god and never die. These were the lies he spoke in the garden when tempting Eve (Genesis 3). Consequently, we can prove through study, that: • All false religions are Satanic and have him as a common origin. • All false religions can be traced to this same beginning – to Satan himself. He is the corrupter of the true religion of the Creator. • All false religions are similar in nature and function. They teach that man can be elevated to be like God. The second function is to degrade (bring down) the true God. Satan’s lie (that man can be as God), and his desire that caused his own fall (“I will be like the most high” – Isaiah 14:13, 14) have not changed. Satan wants man to think he, too, can be deified.

Klein1 Hearing on: A NEW HORIZON IN U.S.-ISRAEL RELATIONS: FROM AN AMERICAN EMBASSY IN JERUSALEM TO POTENTIAL RECOGNITION OF ISRAELI SOVEREIGNTY OVER THE GOLAN HEIGHTS Before the House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Subcommittee on National Security Tuesday July 17, 2018, 10:00 a.m. Rayburn House Office Building, Room 2154 Chairman Ron DeSantis (R-FL) Ranking Member Stephen Lynch (D-MA) Introduction & Summary Chairman DeSantis, Vice Chairman Russell, Ranking Member Lynch, and Members of the Committee: Thank you for holding this hearing to discuss the potential for American recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, in furtherance of U.S. national security interests. Israeli sovereignty over the western two-thirds of the Golan Heights is a key bulwark against radical regimes and affiliates that threaten the security and stability of the United States, Israel, the entire Middle East region, and beyond. The Golan Heights consists of strategically-located high ground, that provides Israel with an irreplaceable ability to monitor and take counter-measures against growing threats at and near the Syrian-Israel border. These growing threats include the extremely dangerous hegemonic expansion of the Iranian-Syrian-North Korean axis; and the presence in Syria, close to the Israeli border, of: Iranian Revolutionary Guard and Quds forces; thousands of Iranian-armed Hezbollah fighters; Palestinian Islamic Jihad (another Iranian proxy); Syrian forces; and radical Sunni Islamist groups including the al Nusra Levantine Conquest Front (an incarnation of al Qaeda) and ISIS. The Iranian regime is attempting to build an 800-mile land bridge to the Mediterranean, running through Iraq and Syria.

My initial research interests focused around culture, cities and urbanism in the Middle East. Particularly, I am fascinated with the intricate and reflexive relations among space, society and culture within a rather political context. My recent project is concerned with politics of sacred places in Palestinian communities in Israel and the myriad of phenomena connected to the production, reproduction and experience of these places among Palestinians as part of processes of resistance, collective identity and memory formation and self-empowerment.As of 2000, I am engaged in a project that examines the sociospatial and political aspects of sacred Palestinian places as part of various transformations in Palestinian communities in Israel and against the backdrop of Islamic resurgence worldwide.

  • Titus, Nebuchadnezzar, and Nimrod in the Ḥadīth and Midrash Aggadah
    NARRATIVES OF VILLAINY: TITUS, NEBUCHADNEZZAR, AND NIMROD IN THE ḥadĪth AND MIDRASH AGGADAH Shari L. Lowin Much has been written on the similarities between the narratives of the shared founding fathers of Judaism and Islam. After all, these founding fathers—Abraham, Isaac and Ishmael, King David and others—serve as the paradigms upon which adherents of both traditions model them- selves, their religious philosophy, and ultimately their relationships to one another and to God. Importantly, the ḥadīth and midrash aggadah, the repositories of these narratives, share information not only on the heroes who serve as models for proper imitative behavior, but also on the evil villains who are excoriated. Thus adherents learn not only what behavior to imitate and value but also from which practices, attitudes, and conduct one should distance oneself and condemn. Fascinatingly, despite their desire to identify themselves as separate religious traditions and value systems, Judaism and Islam tell many of the same stories about the same ancestors and their shared villainous foils. Perhaps because of these largely unavoidable similarities, in studies on these Islamic and Jewish extra-Scriptural narrative expansions1—ḥadīth and midrash aggadah—early scholars often all too quickly jumped to conclusions. When Jewish and Muslim narratives relate similar stories about their shared forefathers, we find scholars frequently asserting that the younger tradition, Islam, has lifted the narrative from the elder, Juda- ism. Differences between the two versions are often attributed to Muslim mistakes, confusion, or flights of Arab fancy. Such a practice constitutes an injustice to the inherent creativity of the Muslim tradition, as well as to the complex, often symbiotic, relationship between the narrative tradi- tions of Islam and Judaism.

  • Ezekiel Week 20 the Defeat of Gog Chapter 38-39
    Ezekiel Week 20 The Defeat of Gog Chapter 38-39 Introduction Chs 38–39 Answers this question: Will God’s “servant David,” the one King of one nation, actually rule forever and put into effect an everlasting covenant (37:22–26), or will sinister forces combine to destroy His reign of peace? In order to allay fears for all time, God shows Ezekiel the very end of time. A literalistic interpretation of such prophecies, which identifies the foes with individual nations on the historical scene, is not only highly speculative but also does violence to biblical imagery.1 The Identity of Gog The biblical Gog is no mere historical figure, but rather a fear-inducing figure of cosmic proportions; and to make matters worse, he is not alone. He is the commander-in-chief (neśîʾ rōʾš) of a coalition of forces gathered from the ends of the earth. He himself is from the land of Magog, and he rules over Meshech-Tubal. His allies include Persia, Cush, and Put (38:5), along with Gomer and Beth Togarmah (38:6). It is no coincidence that together these make up a total of seven nations, and it is significant that they are gathered from the uttermost parts of the world known to the prophet. Meshech-Tubal, Gomer, and Beth Togarmah come from the north, Put (northwest Egypt) and Cush (southern Egypt) from the south and west, while Persia is to the east of Judah.2 One interesting interpretation identifies Gog as a cryptogram for Babel or Babylon. This identification bears some consideration, especially since Babylon was omitted from the nations mentioned in the messages of judgment of 25:1–32:32.

  • Nimrod and Esau As Parallel Figures
    215 In Search of Nimrod: Nimrod and Esau as Parallel Figures By: GEULA TWERSKY Introduction This study seeks to arrive at an understanding of the enigmatic character Nimrod, the mythical Assyrian conqueror and builder who plays a prom- inent role in the Genesis accounts of the development of evil after the flood. The methodology for arriving at such an understanding lies in an analysis of the parallel relationship between Nimrod and Esau, and by association, Assyria and Edom, the nation-states that they represent. The research presented here leads to an understanding of Esau/Edom as the literary successor of Nimrod and the Assyrian monarchy that he founded. Nimrod Most academic discussions concerning Nimrod focus on the improbable task of identifying him with an extra-biblical, known historical figure.1 S. 1 Cf. for example, Y. Levin, “Nimrod the Mighty, King of Kish, King of Sumer and Akkad,” VT 52.3 (2002): 350–64; Cf. also Nahum Sarna, Genesis, The JPS Torah Commentary, (ed. N. Sarna; Jerusalem: Jewish Publication Society, 1989), 73, who attempts to identify Nimrod with Naram-Sin; some have argued that Nimrod has his roots in a Mesopotamian deity. This was first suggested by J. Grivel, “Nemrod et les écritures cunéiformes,” Transactions of the Society of Biblical Archaeology 3 (1874), p. 136–144, and revived by E. Lipinski, “Nimrod et Assur,” Revue Biblique 73.1 (1966), p. 77–93, who related Nimrod to Marduk in the Bab- ylonian creation myth Enuma elis, “when on high.” Van der Toorn and P.

  • Nimrod - the Rebellious Panther
    Nimrod - The Rebellious Panther By Noel Smith Copyright @ 1951, 1952, 1954 BAPTIST BIBLE TRIBUNE Springfield, Missouri CHAPTER ELEVEN - THE WOMAN As I stated, in the seventeenth and eighteenth chapters of Revelation, the turbulent Babylonian river of religion, politics and commerce comes to its vast climax. It is such a climax that when the inspired pen of the aged John recorded it as prophecy, he "wondered with great admiration." In those two chapters, as I have stated before, two statements particularly have disturbed my thought: the woman sitting upon the scarlet colored beast, and the mystery. I never have been able to take either or both for granted. What lies behind them? What is the philosophy of them? Why are they always together? Why is the woman the symbol of "that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth"? Today I shall confine myself to the woman; next week, I shall discuss the mystery. I am not here today to argue the question, nor to explain it, nor to apologize for it. I am here today to say that woman always has been, is today, always will be the most powerful force on this earth, for good or evil. Her powers are more mysterious than sunlight, her charms more alluring than Arabia's perfumes, her voice more persuasive than the strains of a great music, her presence more desired than shade and water in the desert. Go back to that far Eden time. The voice of the CREATOR falls upon the ear of Adam, and he rises with a dignity, a majesty, a splendor, a shining glory and intelligence that Gabriel in flight never knew.
