Satan Has Been Sighted aka The Devil in Osiris
Did you ever get a bee in your bonnet about a particular subject? A bee in my bonnet is what
caused me to start researching this subject while I was trying to research another subject. I was doing research about the
validity or non-validity of the theory that the modern Christian churches mostly believe non-Biblical doctrine concerning
"Armaggedon and the "devil's" church. I was doggedly wading through the book of Revelations and unknown to me so was my live-in
companion as he apparently had gotten curious about some of my remarks to him about the paper I wanted to write concerning
the subject of a "false prophet" who would lead the Christian community astray and start his own church in the midst of Armaggedon.
I was in the office feeling rather frustrated in my efforts to locate the
appropriate Bible verse and he was in the other room, paging through his Bible in an attempt to assist me in locating the
verse I was trying to find for use as a reference. He was yelling his findings to me and in an effort to hear him better, I
grabbed my notebook and headed for the living room where we proceeded to read some more of Revelations with no better
results than before except that Charles happened to make what he thought was a passing remark about the fact that the Israelites
and early Christians believed that the devil would eventually be judged and cast into a bottomless pit and that when the Great
Pyramid of Giza was first bing explored in the early eighteen hundreds, the archaeologists discovered in a subterennean chamber
what they described as a bottomless pit.
The Israelites of Moses' time considered the Egyptians to be their enemies
partly because the Egyptians refused to just give them Egypt and because the Egyptians eventually enslaved them after the
Israelites demanded that Pharaoh hand ver Egypt to them. According to my research so far, Ramses 2 was the Pharaoh who refused
to just give this very small group of desert dwellers control of his country just because the desert dwellers' "God" gave
it to them.
The Egyptians of Ramses 2 time had more than two thousand years of their own
culture behind them, as well as their own pantheon of Gods and Goddesses of which exactly zero were known as Jehovah. Jehovah
is/was the name of the Israelites primary God. The fact that Jehovah did not also tell Ramses 2 that he was giving Egypt to
a bunch of ragged desert dwellers was probably a good indication to Ramses 2 that he did not want the Israelites to control
Egypt but rather the Egyptians themselves who had already been governing themselves for many years with no help from Moses
and his Israelites. Moses was stubborn and refused to give up the idea and decided to press the issue, which at some point
annoyed Pharaoh, who then enslaved Moses and his Israelites. The enslaved Israelites were probably not treated as well as
they would have liked, but Pharaoh did not just kill them outright and so many of them survived their enslavement and they
prospered well enough to produce children and then later escape into the desert.

Exodus 12:30-36
And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; there arose
a great cry in Egypt; for there was not one house where there was not one dead. And he called for Moses and Aaron by night,
and said, get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve the Lord as ye have said.
Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also. And the Egyptians were urgent with
the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We be all dead men. And the people took their
bread dough before it was leavened, their kneading troughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders. And
the children of israel did as according to the word of Moses; they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels
of gold, and raiment: And the Lord gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things
as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians.
Numbers 33: 1-5
These are the journeys of the children of Israel, which went forth out of the land of Egypt with
their armies under the hand of Moses and Aaron. And Moses wrote their goings out according to their journeys by the commandment
of the Lord: and these are their journeys according to their goings out. And they departed from Ramses in the first month,
on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the morrow after the Passover the children of Israel went out with an high hand
in the sight of all the Egyptians. For the Egyptians buried all their firstborn, which the Lord had smitten among them: upon
their gods also the Lord executed judgments. And the children of Israel removed from Ramses, and pitched in Succoth.
Exodus 12: 40,41
Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty
years. And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all
the hosts of the Lord, went out from the land of Egypt.
According to modern archaeologists, The Great Pyramid of Giza was built during
the reign of Khufu or Cheops as he was also known, during the Fourth Dynasty between the years of 2589 and 2566 BC. They
have many historical writings that attest to this idea. The Egyptians were known to erect monuments with hieroglyphs attached
that attested to the deeds of each Pharaoh. Along with the more public steles, there were also numerous hieroglyphs in various
royal tombs that tell the story of each royal person that have, (so far) been found.
According to the Holy Bible, The Great Pyramid of Giza was built during
the reign of Ramses 2, with the help of enslaved Israelites. It is believed by most archaeologists that Ramses 2 merely sponsered
the restoration of the already existing pyramid as well as others and a broken stele was replaced and it does say that
it is a copy of an older one . The stele is found very near the largest pyramid at Giza and tells some of the story of Ramses
2. It was the Egyptian custom, for their kings to restore any pre-existing Egyptian monument that needed it. Ramses 2 was
responsible for the creation and construction during his reign of many other monuments, many of which honored him! Ramses
2 was king of Egypt between the years 1279 and 1213 BC, during a portion of the Nineteenth Dynasty.
According to archaeological evidence, The great Pyramid of Giza was built
during the reign of Khufu (Cheops), who reigned during the Old Kingdom period during the fourth Dynasty, between 2603-? BC.
Ramses 2 reigned as Pharaoh durig the New Kingdom, the Nineteenth Dynasty, between the years 1293-1212 BC. This means that
The Great Pyramid of Giza was already ancient by the time that Moses and his Israelites were enslaved by the Egyptian
government. Most of the Israelites in fact probably could not have helped build The Great Pyramid of Giza because they did
not have the technical skill and knowledge. It is possible that during their enslavement to the Egyptians that they were assigned
the task of helping to repair the already ancient pyramid which had started to show signs of decay caused by the elements
of nature. Some modern Christians claim that Moses and his Israelites were the labor originally used to build the pyramids
but this idea is not supported by archaeological evidence. So much for their "sob story."
Unlike his predecessors, Khufu (Cheops) was not entombed after his death in
his burial tomb, which would have been The Great Pyramid of Giza, nor were any of his queens. Khufu was responsible for the
construction of a group of pyramids lying very near one another or a "complex" and evidence points to all of the Khufu pyramids
being conected by underground tunnels. Particular parts of The Great Pyramid of Giza went unfinished, such as the Queen's
chamber and the sarcophagus in the Kings chamber which is also lidless and there were very few items such as were customarily
buried with a king. It is now believed that The great Pyramid of Giza was not built as a place of entombment for Khufu
but it's true use is unknown.
The Great Pyramid of Giza is the only pyramid built with an ascending
system of passages with the pharaoh buried below. The king's chamber at Giza is above. The Great pyramid
of Gza is the only pyramid with no hieroglyphics and no paintings on it. All of the other pyramids have both hieroglyphics
and paintings that name who is entombed within.
There is also a subterranean chamber in the Great Pyramid of Giza, which
has what its eighteenth century discoverers called a "bottomless pit," for at that time, it was not known how deep it was.
The tomb of Osiris, located between the Great Pyramid of Giza and The
Shpynx, was found recently. The Tomb of Osiris is located in a shaft 98 feet deep. According to Zahi Hawass,
an Egyptologist, the sarcophagus that was found dated to 500 BC, and was surrounded by the remains of four pillars built in
the shape of a hieroglyphic "Bir" or "House of Osiris." Some 3,000 year old bones and pottery were also excavated, but
the sarcophagus itself was empty. The tomb was discovered when the shaft was being explored. It was originally
thought that the shaft led to a tunnel that connected The Sphynx and The Great Pyramid of Giza, and only recently was the
truth discovered. The shaft led to a symbolic tomb of Osiris. There was no body because according to Egyptian
mythology, Osiris who was resurrected from the dead and thereafter became the Lord of the land of the Dead, could not die
again. The tomb of Osiris was really just a monument and temple dedicated to Osiris.
The God Osiris, was one of the primary deities worshipped in Egypt during
the time of Ramses 2. If the Egyptians themselves were considered to be enemies by the Hebrews (Israelites) then it
only stands to reason that the deities worshipped by the Egyptians would also be considere enemies. Our personal theory,
based upon what evidence we have access to thus far, is that the Egyptian God, Osiris, who was the Egyptian God of the Afterlife
(what Christians call heaven), who was also referred to as the Lord of the Underworld (that Underworld actually being a nice
place like the Christian heaven), is the same being that the ancient Hebrews called Satan, or the "Devil." In Egyptian
theology, Osiris was a judge of the dead. In Christian theology, Lucifer, or Satan was one of the judges appointed by
Jehovah, to judge the unrighteous and punish them. Did Lucifer really fall out of favor with Jehovah, or just some lazy
Christians, who have been slandering his name ever since they discovered that Lucifer would not permit them to do what they
wished, and punished them for not being good Christians ?
