Sodom and Shechem

Submitted by REX (United States), Feb 19, 2011 at 02:08

The Sakkara kings list revealing after Pepi II the next king is Mentuhotep II indeed made the Sodom and Shechem chronology possible. After Pepi II and before Mentuhotep II there are no major building projects which common sense should reveal after Pepi II died and before Mentuhotep II reigns-the names on other kings lists for a 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th and part of an 11th dynasty are phony.

After Pepi II died-revolution spread throughout Egyptian nomes and the Amorites won victory over Babylon. Mentuhotep II kicked the Amorites out of Egypt's delta; Mentuhotep II reunited Egypt.

Today, We have the Egyptian revolution spreading throughout Egypt and the entire Middle-East. Iran has its eyes on modern day Babylon (Iraq). Will Egypt become united against an Iranian dominance of the Middle-East producing a strong leader like Mentuhotep II or a weak king like Pepi II who let his nation fall apart?

Israel is becoming surrounded by terrorist armies in Gaza and Lebanon. The proposed peace talks EU, RUSSIA, UN, and USA will work hard to give Abbas more terrorist bases in Samaria and Judea. Jordan might even become aligned with the radicals.

God protected Jacob and his family as they left Shechem for Bethel. God terrorized the surrounding communities. (Genesis 35:1-6) God's actions made it easy for Egyptian king Senusret III to annex Canaan. God protected Lot from the destruction at Sodom. God will protect Israel from her enemies just like the Hebrew prophets have stated.
