Oh, that would not work at all. That was Pharaoh Thutmose II or Hatshepsut (the times of their reigns are disputed). The former had 1 son, that grew up to later to rule for 30 years, and the latter was a woman, which the bible would have most likely referred to by female pronouns rather than male ones. If the plagues had hit during either reign, the massive expansion of the Egyptian Empire underseen by Thutmose III would not have occurred, because he was the first born of the royal line and he would have thus died thanks to the final plague.Apparently there is difference of opinion, so they don't really know. I googled this..

Bishop James Usher also calculated 1012 B.C. for the construction of the Temple in "Annals of the
World" (1650)
1012 B.C. + 480 years x 360/365 = 1486 B.C. date of Exodus"

The logical conclusion of godless philosophy and 'science' is to look to man to save man, and think of man as insignificant beasts.
One example is the prominent physicist Steven Hawkings.
In the past he has talked of aliens and leaving earth.
"
Stephen Hawking posited that an alien visitation would put Earthlings in the same position as Native Americans when Columbus landed on their shores.
“Such advanced aliens would perhaps become nomads, looking to conquer and colonize whatever planets they can reach,”
Hawking speculated."

"If humanity is to survive long-term, it must find a way to get off planet Earth -- and fast, according to famed astrophysicist Stephen Hawking."

Tis sort of insane fearmongering is expected when men leave God out of their knowledge.
The reality of the situation is that we can safely trust in Jesus to bring peace on a beautiful restored new earth.
Assuming reason can reside within that insane little view.
And Bob's your uncle.
Evacuate the planet is exactly what you hope and believe ...that is the teaching of the pre-tribulation rapture doctrine.
Think about it !
The New Heaven and the New Earth and the New Jesrusalem coming down from Heaven to Earth will happen after the Millennium Revelation 21.
There is no taking up of the Saints to Heaven mentionned in 1 Thess 4.
1 Thess 4 talk about the RESURRECTION of dead believers AND the catching up together with them of the believers still alive and remain to meet Jesus in the air
while Jesus destroy the wicked assembled at Armageddon -Revelation 19 .
Revelation 12 and Revelation 13 tell us that Satan and his fallen angels will be cast out of Heaven to the Earth
I have presented it over and over again. The same pratts keep coming up again and again. Can't you sing an new song rather then the same old tired lies from skeptics dot com? If you did your research and homework then you would not need to ask me to do it for you. The problem is if people do not take a stand for the truth then these tired old myths will permeate public belief. Like the flat earth myth. No one ever believed the earth was flat. Yet skeptics dot com due to their lack of integrity continues to push them same tired old myths that have been repeated shown to be wrong again and again.So once again you are talking ABOUT evidence, not actually presenting it.
The new Jerusalem will take up the whole Arab Continental Plate. It will be 1500 by 1500 miles by 1500 miles. They will own their air space and all the mineral rights.The New Heaven and the New Earth and the New Jesrusalem coming down from Heaven to Earth will happen after the Millennium Revelation 21.
He allows them to kill themselves. The church will not be here so there will be no restraining force here in this world. No one or nothing to correct their error. The Age of Grace will have come to an end.20-21.The Christian doctrine is that at the 2nd coming God kills all the wicked (Rev 19) and takes all the saint (both living and dead) to heaven - see 1 Thess 4.
Well, I guess we could fine tune this a bit, and try to zero in on the precise time. Let's check your research here. You claim that a Pharaoh was a first born.....so let's see some verification..?Oh, that would not work at all. That was Pharaoh Thutmose II or Hatshepsut (the times of their reigns are disputed). The former had 1 son, that grew up to later to rule for 30 years, and the latter was a woman, which the bible would have most likely referred to by female pronouns rather than male ones. If the plagues had hit during either reign, the massive expansion of the Egyptian Empire underseen by Thutmose III would not have occurred, because he was the first born of the royal line and he would have thus died thanks to the final plague.
he was also an only child. Thutmose II died young, and his primary wife, Hatshepsut, ruled without remarrying until her death. Then, his son took over. His son is from what is referred to as a "lesser wife", and no other children are documented for this person.Well, I guess we could fine tune this a bit, and try to zero in on the precise time.

Verify this.he was also an only child.
Being young in and of itself does not mean one could not have been Pharoah and had kids. Now if the wicked Exodus Pharaoh had a younger son that never died, and who cares from what wife....how would that rule them out?Thutmose II died young, and his primary wife, Hatshepsut, ruled without remarrying until her death. Then, his son took over. His son is from what is referred to as a "lesser wife", and no other children are documented for this person.
Because his first and only son ruled after his primary wife died, and expanded the Empire. Even if we were to assume he had more than one child, and the first died from the plagues, Egypt would have been in no shape to expand both under his wife's rule and his son's right afterwards. And that is exactly what happened.Verify this.

So what? Just because they lost chariots and a lot of men in the Red sea does not mean there was no more Egypt. The Pharaoh lived on after this also, no? So who cares if this was the one, that his son ruled on??Because his first and only son ruled after his primary wife died, and expanded the Empire.
That alone doesn't cut it. If the US lost some ships and planes in the mideast somewhere one week, does that mean that in a few years they might not take over some country in a war there?Even if we were to assume he had more than one child, and the first died from the plagues, Egypt would have been in no shape to expand both under his wife's rule and his son's right afterwards.

Nice try. Having sick cows does not need to do that.Maybe you should check on the plagues. Like that whole wiping out the entirety of Egyptian Livestock. That single plague would have wiped out the civilization.
Not at all ....The text mean to say1 Thess 4 - is the resurrection and rapture - where as Christ promised in John 14:1-3 - Christ comes to take the saints to heaven.
1 Thess 4
13 But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.
15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain UNTO the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep.
1. "Precede" where? --> precede to heaven
]
At that moment -The coming of the Lord - ,Jesus will come down from Heaven to establish His Kingdom on the Earth and Jesus will receive us to Himself (this is the meeting with Jesus in the air).,Jesus will not return to Heaven.We will live forever with Jesus here on the EARTH.After the Millennium Jesus will give His Earthy Kingdom to His Father2. "The coming of the Lord". as foretold by Christ in John 14. "I will come again and receive you to Myself that WHERE I am THERE you may be also" --> in My Father's house - many dwelling places - I go there to prepare a place for you.
So what? Just because they lost chariots and a lot of men in the Red sea does not mean there was no more Egypt. The Pharaoh lived on after this also, no? So who cares if this was the one, that his son ruled on??
You must understand, every first born son died on that day, including the adults. Even assuming every family had 5 surviving children with at least 2 males, that would have decimated the fighting force. And don't forget the absolute destruction of the many chariots and soldiers thanks to the Red Sea. Egypt would not have recovered very fast from that.That alone doesn't cut it. If the US lost some ships and planes in the mideast somewhere one week, does that mean that in a few years they might not take over some country in a war there?
So, pulled by sick horses? Horse immune systems are actually garbage compared to ours, so I find that unlikely. Why not have people pulling them?Nice try. Having sick cows does not need to do that.
Ex 9:3 - Behold, the hand of the LORD is upon thy cattle which is in the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the oxen, and upon the sheep: there shall be a very grievous murrain.
That may affect exports and etc...but there is proof you are wrong. The chariots LATER chasing the slaves were pulled by horses, so the plague did not kill em. Bing and a bam and a boom.

No. Actually,Actually, in the bible, the Pharaoh dies in chasing after the Hebrews thanks to the waters of the Red Sea moving back into place.
Again you are wrong!You must understand, every first born son died on that day, including the adults. Even assuming every family had 5 surviving children with at least 2 males, that would have decimated the fighting force.
And don't forget the absolute destruction of the many chariots and soldiers thanks to the Red Sea.
Obviously some died, and obviously not all. You were wrong. Defeated.Oh sick cows, and horses, and asses, and camels, and ox... riighhhttt... only sick so God didn't actually kill them? Like you know.. with a plague? "effect exports"? What are you talking about, a modern nation? This is 2,000+ BC Egypt right? Exports? More like local food supply. Unless god just gave all those livestock a cold you're talking the end of the civilization. But thank you kindly for showing how the Exodus story can't keep itself consistent. There shouldn't be those chariots later, I contemplated pointing that out but meh, why bother, you'd ignore it anyway like you always do. I'll just tack another "Dad got defeated" and move on.
