Ethnic Makeup of the Ancient Egyptians, Israelites, and Hyksos Ethnic Makeup of the Ancient Egyptians, Israelites, and Hyksos A comparative look at the peoples of the Nile and the Levant in the New Kingdom period (18th–19th Dynasties). Ethnic Makeup of the Ancient Egyptians The Egyptians of the New Kingdom (ca. 1550–1189 BC) were primarily a Northeast African population rooted in the Nile Valley. Their features reflected a mixture of indigenous Saharan, Nubian, and Nile Delta ancestry. Genetic studies of royal mummies and skeletal remains reveal a population connected to both Sub-Saharan Africa and the ancient Near East, consistent with Egypt’s geographic position as a crossroads of Africa and Asia. Royal families often intermarried with foreign princesses to cement alliances. For example, Amenhotep III married women from Mitanni and later Ramesses II married Hittite royalty. This resulted in foreign admixture at the highest levels of society, though the g...
Shalom, family. In the first essay I shared my personal experience with revelation about God's authority over major world events like elections. Specifically, regarding Trump's re-election. While I still will not assert with 100% confidence whether this was direct intervention and evidence of appointment from our Father in Heaven, I still hold to the truth that He works all things out for His good (Gen 50:20).
Yet I cannot ignore the spiritual significance of this moment in history. Admittedly, I was not privy to the intersection of religious institutionalism and geopolitics during my apostasy (my disbelief in God and Yeshua as the Messiah), but God now has his hands on my life and at a time when a lot of prophetic events seem to be unraveling internationally.
As for America, Trump seems to be this enigma. At first glance it's easy to see Trump as just another self-interested politician playing politics by appealing to his base with rhetoric of Christian Nationalism, but then there's everything else. Events running parallel to Trump's curious career that make this entire spectacle a bit more mysterious.
The assassination attempts, the prophetic pastors that predicted two terms, the prophecy of his assassination attempt that was recorded months in advance, and the reconstructed ark of the covenant sitting in the Mar-a-lago for eight months. But what I think is the most interesting thing of all is this recent letter addressed to President 47 in February from Israel's Sanhedrin (their judicial and legislative body that adheres to Torah). Here is an excerpt from the letter:
"You [Trump] have been elected, as Cyrus was in his time, to fulfill a heavenly mission: To unite all believers in God and foster ethical cooperation across all spheres of human activity"
Pretty grandiose right? I stated in part 1 that while I was in the park reading out the book of Daniel the Holy Spirit was revealing the scriptures wisdom to me. God deposes kings and raises up others (2:21). But what does this have to do with Cyrus the Great you may ask? Well, according to wikipedia the book of Isaiah was written between 740 and 686 BC. In chapter 45 it is written:
I will raise up Cyrus[b] in my righteousness:
I will make all his ways straight.
He will rebuild my city
and set my exiles free,
but not for a price or reward,
says the Lord Almighty.”
This was during the captivity of the Israelites in Babylon. God states here he will raise up a king named Cyrus who will free the Israelites from Babylonian captivity and subsequently rebuild the city of Judea, but here is where the word of our Lord is often downplayed if not just plainly ignored in historical and academic circles. These verses were written about Cyrus decades (conservatively) if not a century before Cyrus The Great was born. Yes, the actual historical king Cyrus The Great was born circa 600 BC and lead a campaign that spanned into Babylon where he freed the Israelites who then rebuilt Judea and the second temple.
And he did it exactly how scripture prophesied he would. But, why is Trump on a coin with him? That's the mystery and reason why I write this. The current Sanhedrin and state of Israel are looking to rebuild their Temple and--for reasons not entirely known to me--they see Trump as the man that will lead to this reconstruction. Maybe it has to do with Trump signing the Abraham Accords back in 2020.
For the secular eye this may seem like religious fanaticism, but the Bible has confirmed historical events like the example I provided above. And while we can still hold our leaders accountable for their effectiveness in governance, to the Christian I implore you to open your mind to the idea that there may be more at work here than what right and left wing media are narrating. Let us discern these events with prayer for wisdom and insight. For our Almighty God, El Shaddai, to lead us to His truth. In Yeshua our Messiah's name, amen.
