These days, the woods are full of biologists, physicists, geologists, chemists, anthropologists, meteorologists, historians, zoologists, psychiatrists, theologians, epidemiologists, cartographers, linguists, mathematicians, paleontologists, medical doctors, and other Godmocking sinners who have dedicated themselves body and soul to hating Jesus and undermining the truth of the King James Bible. Today, I want to expose another group of so-called “scholars” who reject the Bible: Egyptologists.
One of the most well-known “facts” about ancient Egypt is that their rulers held the title of “Pharaoh.” Wrong! This is directly contradicted by the Bible. The proper title of Egpyian rulers is “
King of Egypt,” not “
Pharaoh of Egypt.” Several Egyptian kings were named Pharaoh. If an entire field of scholars can make such a basic mistake as this, how can we trust anything they say? It’s like using the word “ain’t” in the first sentence of a PhD thesis.
This list of several of the Kings of Egypt mentioned in the Bible will demonstrate beyond the shadow of a doubt that Egyptologists are ignorant and incompetent fools:
- King Pharaoh (1) - The first Egyptian king to appear in the Bible is Pharaoh in the Book of Genesis. This is the one who lusts after Sarah while she is pretending to be Abraham’s sister, and who later buys Joseph as a slave. He is mentioned numerous times as “Pharaoh,” not “the Pharaoh.” He identifies himself as “Pharaoh” (Genesis 41:44), and he is referred to as “Pharaoh king of Egypt” (Genesis 41:46).
- King Pharaoh (2) - This next one is the famous Pharaoh from the Book of Exodus, who faces off with Moses and, as a result, is plagued by God and then drowned. Like the earlier King Pharaoh, he is repeatedly called “Pharaoh,” not “the Pharaoh.” You would call Queen Elizabeth “the Queen,” not “Queen,” because that is her title, not her name. He too is titled “king of Egypt” (Exodus 6:13, Deuteronomy 7:8). That there are multiple kings named Pharaoh is understandable enough; England had eight Kings Edward and there have been 23 Popes John. Egyptologists love calling him “Ramses II” even though this name does not appear in the Bible and his name is clearly given as “Pharaoh.”
- King Pharaoh (3) - Another King Pharaoh from 1 Kings. He gives his daughter in marriage to King Solomon, and he is called “Pharaoh king of Egypt” (1 Kings 3:1, 1 Kings 9:24).
- King Shishak - The first Egyptian king mentioned in the Bible who isn’t named “Pharaoh.” He is the successor of the previous king and goes to war with King Solomon and later with King Rehoboam. He is clearly referred to as “Shishak king of Egypt” (1 Kings 11:4, 1 Kings 14:25), not as the “Pharaoh.”
- King So - Appears in 2 Kings 17:4. Name is So, title is king. Word “Pharaoh” does not appear.
- King Pharaohnechoh - This Egyptian king appears in 2 Kings. Egyptologists are tempted to call him “Pharaoh Nechoh,” but this is a grievous sin (Deuteronomy 12:32). His name is one word, “Pharaohnechoh,” and he is the king of Egypt (2 Kings 23:29, Jeremiah 46:2).
- King Pharaohhophra - Successor of King Pharaohnechoh, mentioned in Jeremiah 44:30. Same case as above.
And what about
King Tut? He’s not in the Bible, but nobody calls him “Pharaoh Tut.”
There you have it. Solid Biblical exegesis that proves the ancient Egyptian monarchs were titled “Kings” not “Pharaohs,” and that the latter was actually a personal name, not a title. Thus Egyptology as a field of study is completely and utterly shattered and unmasked as the un-Biblical, anti-Christian fraud that it truly is
