The Prints of Egypt

It was September of 2015, and I was sitting in an Ethiopian Airlines 737 on the tarmac of Bole Airport in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. In addition to the usual 'fasten your seatbelt and make sure your tray table is in its upright and locked position' talk, the flight attendant informed us that we were going to make an unscheduled stop in Cairo, Egypt on our way to Israel. Even though I had been in Egypt several years earlier researching for a book I had written, none-the-less, this new bit of information got my attention. This meant that we would be flying low over an area that currently held my interest, making visible the icons of ancient Egypt.

We descended into Cairo, and I could see the glisten of the evening sun on the Nile River as it snaked its way through the Egyptian desert. Soon, the Pyramids came into view, and it was as though I entered a time warp as I tried to connect-the-dots of Egypt's past, present and future. It was surreal to gaze out of the plane window at these ancient icons and to imagine that this civilization below me has existed for millennia; this is where the Pharaohs lived and moved and had their being. This was also the temporary home of a people, the Hebrews, whose prophetic destiny was foretold thousands of years ago, portions of which many believe has yet to be fulfilled. Again, I reflected on a couple of questions that have resurfaced numerous times in the recent past; Is it possible that many of the ancient prophecies about these people are soon to become current events? Might there actually be another exodus, as scripture indicatesⁱ, that will eclipse the earlier one led by Moses?ⁱⁱ My questioning thoughts were interrupted with the screeching of tires as our 737 touched down in Cairo.

Egypt, this is where my story begins. Out of Egypt - Again is about the Hebrews and their miraculous deliverance from Pharaoh, and of the gods of Egypt that followed them. Both came out of Egypt! Additionally, Masonic sources inform us that Freemasonry also came out of Egypt.ⁱⁱⁱ Yes, Freemasonry! And I know what you must be thinking; What does Freemasonry have to do with the Hebrews? This is a great question - stay with me on this.^iv The history and spiritual dynamics of these three – the Hebrews, the gods of Egypt and Freemasonry - has been the focus of my questioning for the past several years, and the purpose of my recent trip to Israel which allowed me a quick glimpse of the Hebrews ancient homeland, and the icons of the gods that held them captive.

YOU'RE PLAYING WITH THE BIG BOYS NOW

The other night, I sat down with one of our Grandson's to watch one of my favorite animations – Steven Spielberg's The Prince of Egypt.

About 37 minutes into the movie, we viewed the famous Yahweh verses the gods of Egypt power encounter where Moses and Aaron entered the courts of the Pharaoh with the command of Yahweh to release the enslaved Hebrews. Aaron had no sooner dropped his staff-turned-snake than the magicians and sorcerers released a few of the wrigglers themselves. The movie then continued as these evil puppets of the Pharaoh rose up to strike fear in Yahweh's chosen duo by singing the now-engrained-in-my-mind lyrics of the song; '

You're Playing with the Big Boys Now..' ^v

You're playing with the big boys now 

You're playing with the big boys now 

By the might of Horus 

You will kneel before us 

Kneel to our splendorous power... 

You put up a front 

You put up a fight 

And just to show we feel no spite 

You can be our acolyte 

But first, boy, it's time to bow…

And we know the prophetic foreshadowing of the rest of this Nile River drama; Aaron's serpent swallowed the serpents of the Egyptian magicians and it was all over. Done! Finished! Game Over! Or…was it? Is it possible that we are still 'playing with the big boys now', and don't even realize it? Have many been seduced by these malevolent manipulators and satanic sorcerers, and become puppets that know not the puppeteer? Please note: the 'Big Boys' of history may not necessarily be the god-kings and pharaohs, presidents, prime ministers, or dictators, but rather the spiritual powers operating behind their thrones. I know this may seem over-the-top, but please stay with me.

ON THE MOVE

Historians inform us that we can better understand the future when we consider the past. It's as though footprints have been left for us to track; in this case, they are the PRINTS OF EGYPT. These 'prints' were etched into, and painted on the icons of ancient Egypt; the obelisks, pyramids, and solar temples. These prints are trackable as they departed the sands of Egypt, hesitated at Mt. Sinai, and then wandered through the ancient Middle East, pausing at the shrines of Egypt, Greece and Rome. At the same time, they tracked through Northern Israel as Apis bulls and Jeroboams sacred calves. And finally, the prints of Egypt re-emerge in America and the West in the Masonic Mysteries; their indelible prints clearly visible at the gates of our cities and nations.

In this book, we will see how the gods of ancient Egypt did not remain beyond the Nile. As Pharaoh and his army pursued the Hebrews, we can assume that the gods of Egypt, the spiritual powers behind the throne of pharaoh, pursued them as well. Additionally, some of the Hebrews carried the gods of Egypt in their hearts, as evidenced by the construction of the Apis bull at Mount Sinai.^vi Even now, we are still playing with the 'big boys' as they strategically position themselves within the religious, political and financial power centers of today.

In the following chapters, we will glance at the ancient pasts of the Hebrews, the gods of Egypt and Freemasonry, and in doing so we will address some questions that seem to have obvious answers, yet many of these answers leave us wondering.

For example, regarding the Children of Israel; we know they left Egypt, but where did they go? The obvious, correct answer is Canaan, a short distance up the Mediterranean coast. They fled Egypt and the bondage of Pharaoh to the Promised Land of Yahweh. Modern day Israel (including the West Bank and the Golan Heights) encompasses much of, but not all the Hebrews biblically covenanted Promised Land. Today, we identify these Hebrews that fled Egypt, as Jews, or as our Jewish friends and neighbors.

But do the Jews - those who live in Israel, and those whom are yet scattered among the nations - comprise the fullness of the Hebrews, or the Children of Israel that left Egypt? Or, might there be others that have been misidentified for the past 2750 years that are also Hebrews? Are there Hebrews that are not Jews or of the Tribe of Judah, yet inheritors of the same promises given by Yahweh to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob? If so, who are they, and where are they?

Regarding the gods of Egypt; We call them the gods of Egypt, as though they were born in Egypt and have Egyptian citizenship and passports. Certainly, they were present during the Hebrews sojourn in the land, but had they always been there? Did they stay beyond the river after the Hebrew exodus, and do they remain in Egypt yet to this day? In other words, are these gods bound to a certain locale? Or, are they free to move about? And if they are mobile, why would they change locations?

Regarding Freemasonry's mysterious Egyptian past; What in the world does Freemasonry have to do with ancient Egypt? Could Masonic rituals brought forward through history from Egypt to the West be worthy of our attention? And might these esoteric, Egyptian rituals that are acted out behind the closed doors of Masonic lodges embody a more sinister agenda than what is put forth by an organization that purports to make good men better?

In this book, you will see the interwoven historical threads of these three groups that came out of Egypt; the Hebrews, the gods of Ancient Egypt, and Freemasonry. We will consider why their past, present and futures seem to be intricately bound together, and why the tireless efforts of the seducing spirits behind two, want to corrupt and re-capture the third.

As previously mentioned, it is probable that the gods who were present at the snake-fest mentioned earlier didn't simply vanish into the sands of Egypt when the Children of Israel were ripped from their evil grip. Rather, they have been actively slithering and morphing through history with one goal in mind; to re-enslave the lost prize that walked out of Egypt about 3300 years ago.

In a moment, we will turn around and look back at the prints of Egypt, and gain some valuable information that will help us understand what, or better yet, whom we are dealing with. However, before we track him into Egypt, let's take a quick glance a little further back in time where we will discover an arcane architect on the plains of Shinar, busily erecting his temporary tower to heaven.

^iv The answer will become clear as the narrative unfolds. In the meantime, please note that this is not an anti-Semitic, conspiratorial manuscript suggesting that an evil Jewish cabal is sitting at the apex of a New World Order pyramid, or one blaming the Jews for every social ill and financial challenge that the world faces.
