Watched "Prince of Egypt" and compiled a passage of God's promise

I heard that the movie "Ten Commandments" is a national treasure of the United States, but, I haven't watched it yet.
Only a few days ago, I saw a similar movie "Prince of Egypt", and they all talked about the Prophet Moses who came out of Egypt. . . . . . Moreover, they are all cartoons. The purpose and intention of the animation, I think, is to make it easy to understand and make it easier to create a realm of fantasy.

History is what I like. I don’t know the history of religion, and I’m more willing to learn about it. The source of history may not be illusory, it may be rough. And the history of unknown religions that I have roughly understood are just some outlines. After I understood it, I felt it necessary to write it down, so as to enjoy my friends, I think it is necessary to understand this history in an easy-to-understand manner.

(1)
God at the beginning of the Genesis , whose English name is GOD, and Chinese name is Jehovah, at least 3,000 years ago BC, created the man Adam in his own image in the Garden of Eden. Where is the Garden of Eden? In present-day Iraq, it is the Mesopotamian Plain, which is the two river basins (two rivers, Tigris & Euphrates, the meaning of the basin is the alluvial plain between the two rivers). But in the era of the Garden of Eden, there were not only two rivers, but four rivers. At that time, it was called the Four River Basin. Later, the other two rivers dried up and disappeared.

Adam is the first generation created by God, and man has the end of life. How long Adam lived is unknown, but it should be a long time, because he must shoulder the mission of God to create human beings and continue to create many, many people with Eve.
More than 100 years after Adam's death (in a short time), a famous person named ②Noah appeared among his descendants. He probably lived for nearly a thousand years, and people in ancient times seemed to have the life span of a soft-shelled turtle. When there was a big flood in his hometown, he built a very big boat called Noah's Ark, which carried the tribe, drifted on the flood, and survived the catastrophe. And this flood is said to be the overflow of the Mediterranean Sea, and it is also said that God was very angry at the punishment imposed by human beings at that time. And why Noah built this Noah's Ark before the flood, I think, this is the open side of God, and Noah should belong to the earliest prophet. The so-called prophet is someone who has an agreement with God and knows God's intentions.

Noah's Ark has been floating directionlessly on the water, and it will definitely drift to a dry highland continent that has not been submerged by flooding, and some people on board will go ashore to start a new life. When he drifted to Egypt near the sea, Ham, Noah's son, took his tribe to land and took root in Egypt. Later generations called the Egyptians Hammets, and they belonged to Ham. Noah's other son Ya, stayed in the highlands in the northeast of the Mediterranean, around the current Black Sea. Later generations called them Aryans.

Noah also has a son named ⑤Shan, who has been with his father until the flood recedes after a few years, and he continues to stay in his hometown of Mesopotamia to develop in the plains of Mesopotamia. His descendants are called Semites or Semites, including current Arabs and Jews.

(2) At the beginning of the
Hebrews, there was a son named ⑥Eber. He made a living by herding, specifically herding sheep. This shows that he is different from the cattle-loving uncle Aryan who likes herding. From his beginning, the people of his clan began to be called Hebrews! Of course, Shem has many sons, such as Assyrians, Babylonians, Phoenicians, and the famous Babylonians. Let’s not talk about the famous Babylonians. Only the Phoenicians have a lot of important history related to them. 1. They are very good at doing it. Business, and it’s sea shipping trade, 2. They created the original alphabet, 3. They were powerful, but during the Mediterranean colonization process, their descendants Carthage launched a life-and-death war with the emerging Roman Republic. The Anniversary War was finally wiped out by Rome, which also resulted in the birth of a greater Roman Empire.

One of the descendants of Eber was named ⑦Abraham, who was another important prophet among the Hebrews. Many important things happened while he was alive, which will affect future generations.
First of all, he moved according to God's agreement! Moved from the Mesopotamia to the "land flowing with honey and milk"-Canaan, which is now Palestine. In modern terms, relatives are raising more and more people in their lives, and the house is small, and it is imperative to separate and move.
Secondly, Abraham gave birth to many children and is known as the "father of many" in history. But there are two important sons. The second family gave birth to the eldest son named Ishmael, and the main family gave birth to a son named Isaac.
Later, because the land of Canaan was too small, the division of the family continued to take place. The people of the Ishmael tribe moved out to the south, to the vast peninsula to the south, and went to Egypt to join their distant relatives, the Egyptian Han tribe. More often they are no longer called Hebrews, but Ishmaelis, which are now Arabs, and they call Abraham Ibrahim. Among the descendants of Ishmael came a man named Muhammad, who was the founder of Islam

The son of Abraham, the first Israelite, Isaac also lived a long life, lived 180 years, but was worse than his ancestors too much. His son ⑩ Jacob is another very important person. Once Jacob won a wrestling with an angel, the angel changed Jacob's name to "Israel", which means "people who dare to fight with angels". This is the beginning of Israel's name. Later, because of a famine in Canaan, Jacob went out to buy food. The route is: Canaan-the Sinai Peninsula connecting Asia and Africa-Egypt by the sea.
At this time, his half-brother, the Ishmali tribe, had blossomed everywhere in Lower Egypt (Lower Egypt, North Egypt in the lower reaches of the Nile), and the prosperous tribe had greatly surpassed the native Egyptian Han tribe. At an appropriate time, the Ishmaelis set off and said that we are going to be pharaohs. Whether there was war bloodshed or not, and history is not clearly recorded. I can only say that it was "an alien worshiping the ancient moon at the altar of the sun". This is probably the 16th dynasty of Egypt.
It was at this happy moment that Jacob joined the people of the uncle Ishmael and lived a happy life as a "Prince of Egypt" for several years. At that time, the Egyptians still collectively referred to them as Hebrews.

The rule of the aliens will not last long, and the Egyptian people will eventually drive out the Tartars. Around the 15th century BC, Egypt’s political situation changed drastically, and the Hebrews became slaves. History is recorded like this: "The rise of a new king will govern Egypt...". The following are some scenes and historical facts narrated in the movie "Prince of Egypt". The Egyptians broke out an "infant killing incident" in order to eliminate the crowded Hebrews. And another Hebrew prophet ⑾ Moses, escaped in the movie by chance, and became a prince of Egypt again. Of course, this is a fiction of the movie. But Moses was indeed the hero who led the Hebrews to escape from Egypt and return to Canaan filled with honey and milk. It was about the 13th century BC, and the specific "Ten Commandments" came into being at that time.

The Hebrews who returned to Canaan began to manage their own land. Around the 11th century BC, a new kingdom of Israel was established. The first king was named Saul, the second king was named David, and the third king was named Solomon. David is more famous, and the star on Israel's current national flag is the big moon. Solomon is also very famous and a very wise king.
When the Kingdom of Israel was founded, there were also wars. Because the Hebrews left the land promised by God due to famine at the time, and now they come back, there are foreigners living in this place, (Israelis are always like this). This outsider is a Cretan who crossed the sea from Greece, and is now called the "Phyllis". They once had a glorious Mycenaean civilization in Greece. According to historical records, David slaughtered the warrior Goliath of Phyllis and defeated the Philistines.

(4) The beginning of the Jews The
Kingdom of Israel split after these three generations. The kingdom of Israel, the size of a palm, was split into two countries, North and South. Northern Israel was annihilated by the Assyrians in the 7th century BC, and they were also their Semitic compatriots. Annihilation meant being assimilated.
Southern Israel, also known as the Kingdom of Judah, continued to survive for hundreds of years. Why is it called the Kingdom of Judah? Then I have to talk about Jacob (Israel). He has twelve sons, and the fourth son is named Judas. Judah is mainly his branch. King David was from Judah, and later Christ Jesus was also from Judah. The Judah kingdom of southern Israel and the Assyrian Empire were subsequently destroyed by the emerging Babylonians. It is their fellow Semitic again. The Babylonians captured the Israeli Jews and took them all to Babylon as slaves. This period is the "period of crucifixion" for the Jews, and Judaism was born at this time. Later, the Babylonian Empire was eventually destroyed by the Aryan Persian Empire, and the Persians released the Jews back to Canaan to rebuild their homeland.

It is not easy to rebuild the homeland. God may make Canaan, a land of honey and milk, promised to many peoples. This is indeed a strategic point for north-south travel!
After Canaan was under the rule of the Roman Empire for a long time, the story of Christ Jesus was born and carried forward under the rule of the Roman Empire.
During the period when the Arab empire was strong in AD 600, the Arabs snatched Canaan from the Eastern Roman Empire and gave it to his Hebrew brother Jews to live.

But now, the Arab brothers are also ruined, and this tiny place is beginning to be snatched up again. Why would this be the promised land of God?

    Those who don’t believe in Christ will become anti-Christ after watching this film.

    I watched it when I was very young, but I didn't know the background of the story, so I remembered that Moses was so handsome-.- After re-reading it, I was moved by the song "deliver us" at the beginning. . . (ps, after more than ten years, I still think Moses is so handsome...)
