Study to shew thyself approved unto God,
a workman that needeth not to be ashamed,
rightly dividing the word of truth.

*Think about it –
From today’s Beginning of the End
. . . People should always remember –
that wherever they are and whatever they do,
they are in the presence of God.
No part of our conduct escapes God’s notice.
We cannot hide our ways from the Most High.
Egyptian Period – During this period God was bringing the people from slavery and to Himself.
When we think of the beginning of Egypt, we think of Pyramids or the Great Sphinx. But there was an earlier Egypt – There was Upper Egypt (where the land was higher) and Lower Egypt (which was closer to sea level). Then along came a king who wanted to unite the two, his name was Menes. He ruled over his kingdom from the capital city named Memphis.
It is believed when another king came along, 500 years later, named Khufu (or Cheops). He wanted to be buried in a pyramid, so the Great Pyramid at Giza was built. This started a trend for pharaohs that came after him.
For a king to accomplish the building of the Great Pyramid there had to have been a great civilization at the time.
(The construction of the pyramids is not mentioned in the Bible.)
China, Japan and Greece civilizations also began to grow after the flood – all the timelines have a different time. . .makes you wonder!
