MY DAUGHTER AT THE NILE WITH BABY MOSES
AN AMAZING TRUE STORY
AUGUST OF 2016 MY DAUGHTER ELIZABETH WAS VERY HAPPILY LIVING IN MBALE UGANDA AS A MISSIONARY. WHILE HER HUSBAND SCOTT WENT ON TO KENYA, I RECEIVED A STRANGE MESSAGE FROM HER THAT SHE WAS VERY TIRED, ESPECIALLY AFTER EXPRESSING BREAST MILK TWICE THAT DAY WITH A MANUAL BREAST PUMP. “WHY ARE YOU DOING THAT?” I INQUIRED, SURELY HARPER, HER NEW BABY DID NOT NEED HER TO GO TO THAT MUCH TROUBLE RIGHT NOW. HER REPLY BAFFLED ME. “IT’S NOT FOR HARPER, IT’S FOR MOSES.”
WHAT?
SHE REMINDED ME OF THE LITTLE BABY BOY THAT WAS FOUND ABANDONED IN A DITCH, STILL IN BLOOD AND THE AFTERBIRTH. WHEN SHE TOLD ME ABOUT IT, I THOUGHT OF THIS SCRIPTURE. EZEKIEL 16:4-6, “AND AS FOR THY (JERUSALEM) NATIVITY, IN THE DAY THOU WAST BORN THY NAVEL WAS NOT CUT, NEITHER WAS THOU WASHED IN WATER TO SUPPLE THEE; THOU WAST NOT SALTED AT ALL, NOR SWADDLED AT ALL. NONE EYE PITIED THEE, TO DO ANY OF THESE UNTO THEE, TO HAVE COMPASSION ON THEE; BUT THOU WAST CAST OUT IN THE OPEN FIELD, TO THE LOATHING OF THY PERSON, IN THE DAY THAT THOU WAST BORN. AND WHEN I PASSED BY THEE, AND SAW THEE POLLUTE IN THINE OWN BLOOD, I SAID UNTO THEE WHEN THOU WAST IN THY BLOOD, LIVE; YEA, I SAID UNTO THEE WHEN THOU WAST IN THY BLOOD, LIVE.”
CHRIST SAID LIVE, AND CHRISTIANS SAID TO THIS LITTLE BOY, LIVE. HER NEW FRIENDS WERE FOSTERING THIS PARTICULAR BABY BOY, BUT SADLY, THREE MONTHS LATER HE WAS VERY SICKLY. APPARENTLY IT WAS DIFFICULT TO PROCURE BABY MILK WHERE THEY WERE LIVING, AND SINCE ELIZABETH WAS STILL BREAST FEEDING HARPER, SHE WAS HAPPY TO OFFER MOSES SOME LIFE GIVING MILK. WOW, THAT STORY SOUNDED...A BIT...BIBLICAL!!
SUNDAY SERVICE SARA AND ONE OF HER BOYS AT THE NILE
THE ABOVE PICTURE ON RIGHT IS OF SARA ON THE NILE WHO TOOK IN BABY MOSES AND MANY OTHERS...ELIZABETH’S “BABY MOSES” STARTED TO BLOSSOM ON HER MOTHER’S MILK TOO. IT WAS NOT LONG BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE WAS FOUND WHO WAS ABLE TO PROVIDE MILK MORE REGULARLY. IT MAKES ME WONDER WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS FOR THAT LITTLE BABY BOY CALLED MOSES. HE WAS FOUND CLOSE TO THE SOURCE OF THE NILE IN UGANDA, BUT EVEN MORE, IT MAKES ME WONDER ABOUT THE FUTURE OF UGANDA, BECAUSE IT TOO HAS BEEN FOUND AS AN ABANDONED BABY IN ITS BLOOD. IT TOO HAS TO BE NURTURED AND WASHED, AND IT TOO HAS A FUTURE AND A HOPE. WHEN ELIZABETH (WHOSE NAME MEANS “MY GOD IS AN OATH OR ABUNDANCE”) RETURNED TO UGANDA IN 2016, SHE AND SCOTT TOOK 1000 BIBLES TO CONFIRM TO THE PEOPLE HOW MUCH GOD LOVES THEM, EVEN STARTING AT MBALE, NOT FAR FROM LAKE VICTORIA, THE VERY SOURCE OF THE NILE THAT FLOWS DOWN TO EGYPT; THE PLACE WHERE MOSES WAS DRAWN OUT OF THE WATER...AROUND 3,500 YEARS AGO; THE SAME PLACE WHERE THE FIRST PASSOVER WAS INSTITUTED IN EGYPT WITH THE SACRIFICE OF THE LAMB FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS FOR THE HEBREWS AND THEIR DELIVERANCE FROM SLAVERY.

IN THE BIBLE, BABY MOSES HAD BEEN IN IMMINENT DANGER OF BEING EXTERMINATED BECAUSE HE WAS UNWELCOME IN EGYPT ON THE NILE. HE WAS RESCUED FROM PHARAOH'S CRUELTY AGAINST ALL ODDS. BECAUSE GOD’S HAND WAS ON HIM, HE WAS FOUND BY THE PRINCESS WHO WAS BATHING IN THE NILE. MOSES' OWN SISTER MIRIAM WATCHED AS HE WAS DRAWN OUT, AND SHE VOLUNTEERED TO FIND ONE OF THE ISRAELITE MOTHERS WHO STILL HAD MILK AFTER THEIR BABIES HAD BEEN SLAUGHTERED. WELL, CLOSE, BUT CLOSER YET, HER OWN MOTHER, WHO HAPPENED TO ALSO BE HIS OWN MOTHER. SO MOSES WAS TAKEN IN TO THE PALACE AND RAISED AS EGYPTIAN ROYALTY, BECAUSE THE FATHER OF THIS PRINCESS JUST HAPPENED TO BE PHARAOH. WHAT ARE THE CHANCES? HIS OWN MOTHER WAS BROUGHT TO THE PALACE TO NURTURE HIM! ONLY GOD CAN MAKE UP TRUE STORIES LIKE THAT! LATER GOD USED THAT MOSES TO DELIVER THE PEOPLE FROM SLAVERY AND TO BRING HIS LAW AND THE TEN COMMANDMENTS TO THE HEBREWS AND THE WORLD.
MOSES GREW UP AS PHARAOH'S SON, BUT HIS HEART WAS TOWARD HIS OWN PEOPLE. HE EVEN KILLED A TASKMASTER TO STOP HIM FROM ABUSING ONE OF THE HEBREWS, AND THEN HE FLED EGYPT. FOR 40 YEARS MOSES WONDERED AND WANDERED UNTIL FINALLY GOD SPOKE TO HIM FROM A BURNING BUSH THAT DID NOT BURN UP. YES, ANOTHER SIGN AND WONDER. THINGS HAD BECOME INTOLERABLE FOR THE HEBREW SLAVES, AND SO ON MT HOREB GOD HAD A TALK WITH MOSES, A BIT SIMILAR TO THIS. I HAVE A JOB AND YOU ARE THE MAN SO… OFF YOU GO MO! NO, MOSES WAS NOT KEEN ON THE IDEA DESPITE SOME ACCOMPANYING SPECIAL EFFECTS. REALLY, WHEN GOD SHOWED UP, HIS APPEARANCE SCORCHED THE EARTH... LIKE AN ATOMIC BOMB! IS THAT PROPHETIC TOO?
PERSONALLY FOR ME, HERE WAS ANOTHER SIGN AND WONDER, BUT IN FORT WORTH, TEXAS! NOW I WAS NOT A QUEEN, QUEEN ELIZABETH OR QUEEN MARY, AND ELIZABETH MY DAUGHTER WAS NOT A PRINCESS, BUT FORTUITOUSLY, GOD HAPPENED TO HAVE A REAL PRINCESS AT THE READY FOR MY RATHER STRANGE STORY TOO, WHEREIN I ALSO SEE SOME PARALLELS. JOHN AND I GOT MARRIED ON OUR DINNER CRUISE PADDLWHEEL BOAT THE QUEEN MARIAH. I RATHER FELT LIKE A PRINCESS WITH MY HANDSOME PRINCE AT THE TIME, BUT LATER I FELT MY QUEEN WAS TURNING INTO A BIT OF A DRAG...AND I SOLD THE QUEEN MARIAH TO A REAL PRINCESS! SERIOUSLY. I DID! SHE WAS AN AFRICAN AMERICAN GIRL WHOSE NAME HAPPENED TO BE PRINCESS.
SHE LATER CHANGED THAT BOAT’S NAME TO PRINCESS ELIZABETH. HA. IN A WAY, SHE BAILED ME OUT OF MY WATERY PREDICAMENT TOO AS MY COURSE IN LIFE HAD TAKEN ME FROM THE RIVER TO REAL ESTATE. LET’S FACE IT, I THINK NOAH ABANDONED HIS ARK TOO. I WAS THEN THE OWNER OF A UNITED COUNTRY REAL ESTATE FRANCHISE. WHILE I WAS RUSHING OFF TO TOLAR EVERY DAY WORKING AT THE OFFICE, MY ARKS WERE NOT RUSHING ANYWHERE. THEY WERE JUST WORTHLESSLY FLOATING AROUND AT THE EDGE OF THE RUSHES ON LAKE WORTH, ABOUT 48 MLES FROM THE OFFICE, OVER 80 MILES FROM MY HOUSE ON LAKE WHITNEY. THEY WERE RESTING BESIDE THE SANCTUARY IN THE WATERS FED BY HOLY TRINITY RIVER, NOW SIMPLY KNOWN AS THE TRINITY RIVER.
HOWEVER, THESE BOATS PROVED TO BE JUST TOO MUCH LIABILITY FOR ME BECAUSE UNLIKE MOSES, I DID NOT HAVE THE RIGHT STAFF TO HELP ME, NEITHER DID I HAVE SLAVES... I WAS THE SLAVE, ALONG WITH MY CHILDREN AND MY NEW HUSBAND, HENCE THE MOVE. I WAS MY OWN CRUMBLING STAFF AND THE JOB BENEATH THE UNRELENTING SUMMER SUN OF TEXAS HAD OVERWHELMED ME. (AFTER I TURNED BURGUNDY AND CREPT ACROSS THE FLOOR LIKE A SLOTH IN ITS DEATH THROES...JOHN SUGGESTED I CHANGE MY LIFESTYLE, AFTER HE CALLED 911). I ADVERTISED BOTH BOATS FOR SALE ON THE INTERNET; A MODERN DAY MUCH REVERED RIVER MORE POLLUTED THAN THE NILE, BUT I WAS BETTING ON THE NET TO CATCH A BUYER.
TO BACK TRACK A BIT CONCERNING THE SLAVES, APPARENTLY JOSEPH’S BROTHERS DECIDED JOSEPH WOULD BE BETTER SOLD TOO...AND AFTER THEY THREW HIM IN A PIT, THEY SOLD HIM TO SLAVE TRADERS FOR 20 PIECES OF SILVER. THE SLAVE TRADERS DREW JOSEPH OUT OF THE WELL AND SOLD HIM INTO EGYPT. THERE JOSEPH WOULD FATHER THE TWO TRIBES OF EPHRAIM AND MANASSEH WITH AN EGYPTIAN WIFE AND HIS PEOPLE WOULD STAY IN EGYPT FOR ABOUT 400 YEARS, EVEN AS GOD HAD TOLD FATHER ABRAHAM, UNTIL MOSES, THE LAWGIVER, WAS BORN.
IT WAS AT THAT TIME THAT PHARAOH DECLARED THAT ALL THE BABY BOYS OF THE HEBREWS TWO AND UNDER BE CAST INTO THE RIVER NILE, EVEN AS HEROD DECLARED THAT ALL THE BABY BOYS TWO AND UNDER BE KILLED WHEN JESUS WAS BORN...BECAUSE JESUS WAS THE LAW OF GOD INCARNATE. THE SAME SPIRIT OF INIQUITY SOUGHT TO KILL THEM BOTH. JESUS WAS MURDERED, DEAD AND BURIED AND ON THE THIRD DAY ROSE AGAIN. EVEN DEAD, HE OUTSMARTED THE DEMONIC PIRATES. HIM BEING BURIED REMINDS ME OF HIM ALSO GOING IN TO THE PIT LIKE JOSEPH DID. AFTER JOSEPH ROSE AGAIN FROM THE PIT, HE WAS SOLD OUT BY MAN INTO EGYPT. JESUS WAS SOLD BY JUDAS AND IS NOW SOLD OUT BY THOSE WHO HAVE PIRATED HIS CHURCH.
THEN A STRANGE INCIDENT TOOK PLACE. AFTER MOSES THE LAWGIVER DELIVERED THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL FROM EGYPT AND HAD BEEN WITH THEM IN THE WILDERNESS FOR 40 YEARS TAKING THEM TO THEIR PROMISED LAND, MOSES WAS NOT ALLOWED TO ENTER IT! WHY? BECAUSE MOSES REPRESENTED THE LAW. MOSES RECEIVED THE LAW AND THE 10 COMMANDMENTS, BUT JOSHUA WAS GIVEN THE PRIVILEGE OF TAKING THE PEOPLE INTO THEIR PROMISED LAND. THE NAME JOSHUA AND JESUS ARE THE SAME; JOSHUA REPRESENTED JESUS.
WHAT THE LAW CANNOT DO, JESUS CAN DO. ONLY THE SPILLED BLOOD OF THE LAMB TAKES US INTO OUR PROMISED LAND AFTER OUR SINS ARE FORGIVEN. THE LAW ALWAYS TELLS US WHERE WE HAVE FALLEN SHORT. IT DOES NOT REDEEM US, PAY OUR RANSOM FEE OR PAY OUR COURT COSTS...IT SIMPLY STATES THE CASE AND WE ARE ALL JUDGED GUILTY, INCLUDING MOSES! WOW.
FEBRUARY 2017, LIZ WAS SHARING MESSAGES WITH ME ABOUT HER SAME FRIEND SARA IN UGANDA WHO HAD THE 8 ORPHAN BOYS IN HER HOME, INCLUDING LITTLE MOSES. FROM TIME TO TIME THE SPONSORS OF SOME OF THESE CHILDREN WOULD SEND SOME EXTRA MONEY FOR THEM. ONE LITTLE BOY, TONNY HAD BEEN DILIGENTLY SAVING HIS MONEY FOR SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL. HE WAS GOING TO BUY BACK, REDEEM, HIS YOUNG BROTHER WHO WAS A SLAVE IN KENYA; HIS NAME HAPPENED TO BE KEN. (KEN MEANS, TO UNDERSTAND, COMPREHEND, KNOWLEDGE AND PERCEPTION.) KEN HAD BEEN WORKING AS A SLAVE ON A TEA PLANTATION. HE WOULD "KEN" THE DEEP SIGNIFICANCE OF REDEMPTION THAT WE TAKE SOOOO LIGHTLY.
LIZ SENT ME PICTURES OF HIS SCARRED UP HANDS. WE BOTH SHED A FEW TEARS OF JOY, SADNESS AND INCREDULITY THAT HE WAS TO BE REDEEMED. “HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO REDEEM A SLAVE”, I ASKED HER. SHE REPLIED THAT SHE DID NOT KNOW. THEN I ASKED HER IF GIVING MONEY TO REDEEM THE SLAVES JUST PUT MORE MONEY IN THE CAPTORS POCKETS - TO BUY 5 TIMES MORE VULNERABLE CHILDREN. IT IS THE FEAR HERE IN TEXAS THAT SOME HORSE AUCTIONS WORK THAT WAY. IF THEY KNOW YOU WANT TO RESCUE ONE, THERE ARE THOSE WHO BUMP UP THE PRICE AND WHEN THEY HAVE YOUR MONEY, THEY JUST GO AND GET SEVERAL MORE. NOW INSTEAD OF ONE, THE PROBLEM HAS MULTIPLIED, FUNDED BY WELL MEANING PEOPLE PUTTING RANSOM MONEY INTO THE HANDS OF UNCARING GREEDY PEOPLE.
I THOUGHT ABOUT THE CONVOLUTED SYSTEM THAT WAS A TRAP, A LOSE LOSE SITUATION. THEN IT DAWNED ON ME. “I SUPPOSE THE BEST THING YOU CAN DO IS PREACH THEM THE WORD OF GOD. IF LEADERS ARE RAISED UP TO BE RIGHTEOUS, THE GOVERNMENT WILL BE RIGHTEOUS AND SLAVERY WILL SPONTANEOUSLY STOP.” JOHN 8:36, "IF THE SON SHALL MAKE YOU FREE, YE SHALL BE FREE INDEED." AS SOCIETY VEERS FURTHER FROM THE WORD OF GOD, THE MORE ENSLAVED IT BECOMES. THAT IS WHY SLAVERY IS NOW EPIDEMIC WORLDWIDE. WE ARE SLIPPING DOWN A SLIPPERY SLIDE INTO AN ABYSS.

THE TEN PLAGUES OF EGYPT
THE PHARAOHS SERVED THE COLD BLOODED GODS OF THE NILE, INCLUDING SOBEK, THE CROCODILE GOD, FROG GODS AND INSECT GODS.THE NILE DELTA AND THE MISSISSIPPI DELTA SEEM TO MIRROR EACH OTHER AS UPSIDE DOWN PICTURES, THE NILE SHRINKING WHILE THE MISSISSIPPI ENLARGES. AT THE NILE, PHARAOH SET ABOUT EXTERMINATING ALL BABY BOYS TWO AND UNDER OF THE HEBREW SLAVES. THEY WERE TO BE CAST INTO THE RIVER, PROBABLY WITH AN ASSUMPTION THAT THEY WOULD BE READILY EATEN BY THEIR GODS, THE CROCODILES. THAT IS WHY MOSES HAD BEEN FOUND IN A RUSH ARK, REMINDING ME OF NOAH'S ARK AND THE RAINBOW THAT GOD SENT AS A COVENANT WITH MAN THAT HE WOULD NEVER FLOOD THE WHOLE WORLD AGAIN. AT THE TIME OF NOAH MAN HAD BECOME SO EVIL, THAT GOD LITERALLY EXTERMINATED THEM, EXCEPT FOR 8 SAVED ON A BOAT. MOSES HAD BEEN SAVED BY GOD TO DELIVER HIS CHOSEN PEOPLE OUT OF SLAVERY UNDER THE HARSH HAND OF PHARAOH, BUT MOSES WAS ALSO WARNED BY GOD THAT HE WOULD HARDEN PHARAOH'S HEART SO THAT HE WOULD NOT LET THEM GO. GOD HAD A PLAN TO SHOW HIS OWN PEOPLE HIS PROVISION. A LESSON THAT THEY WERE NOT TO FORGET...EVER, AND A LESSON THAT THE WHOLE WORLD IS STILL BEING TAUGHT CONCERNING THE OUTSTRETCHED ARMS OF GOD. EXODUS 6:3, "AND I APPEARED UNTO ABRAHAM, UNTO ISAAC, AND UNTO JACOB, BY THE NAME OF GOD ALMIGHTY, BUT BY MY NAME JEHOVAH WAS I NOT KNOWN TO THEM. AND I HAVE ALSO ESTABLISHED MY COVENANT WITH THEM, TO GIVE THEM THE LAND OF CANAAN, THE LAND OF THEIR PILGRIMAGE, WHERIN THEY WERE STRANGERS. AND I HAVE ALSO HEARD THE GROANING OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, WHOM THE EGYPTIANS KEEP IN BONDAGE; AND I HAVE REMEMBERED MY COVENANT. WHEREFORE SAY UNTO THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, I AM THE LORD, AND I WILL BRING YOU OUT FROM UNDER THE BURDENS OF THE EGYPTIANS, AND I WILL RID YOU OUT OF THE BONDAGE, AND I WILL REDEEM YOU WITH A STRETCHED OUT ARM, AND WITH GREAT JUDGMENTS: AND I WILL TAKE YOU TO ME FOR A PEOPLE, AND I WILL BE TO YOU A GOD: AND YE SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD , WHICH BRINGETH YOU OUT FROM UNDER THE BURDENS OF THE EGYPTIANS. DID YOU KNOW THAT IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN? SOMETHING BIG IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN AS GOD REDEEMS HIS PEOPLE OUT FROM UNDER AN ENORMOUS BURDEN WORLDWIDE, ESPECIALLY A BURDEN OF SIN AS COVID COVERTLY MOVES AROUND THE WORLD AND WE ARE MASKED. THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB IS GOING TO DELIVER US IN WAYS THAT WE COULD NOT IMAGINE. THE 10 PLAGUES ARE SUMMARIZED BELOW FROM EXODUS 7. 1. THE NILE AND THE WATER WAS VILE AND TURNED INTO BLOOD2. THERE WERE FROGS IN THE RIVER, BEDCHAMBERS, BED, HOUSE, OVENS, KNEADING TROUGHS, ON THE PEOPLE, ON THEIR SERVANTS, STREAMS, RIVERS, PONDS, COVERING THE LAND. MOSES PRAYED THAT THEY WOULD BE GONE. THEY DIED AND WERE GATHERED INTO HEAPS...BUT PHARAOH HARDENED HIS HEART. SOOO3. MOSES STRETCHED OUT HIS ROD AND SMOTE THE DUST AND IT ALL BECAME LICE IN MAN AND BEAST4. GRIEVOUS SWARMS OF BITING FLIES AFFLICTED THE EGYPTIANS, BUT NOT THE LAND OF GOSHEN WHERE THE HEBREWS LIVED5. CATTLE, HORSES, ASSES, CAMELS, OXEN, SHEEP FELL FROM MURRAIN. CATTLE ALL DIED OF THE EGYPTIANS6. MOSES TOOK HANDFULS OF ASHES AND SPRINKLED IT TOWARDS HEAVEN AND IT BECAME BOILS AND BLAINS ON MAN AND BEAST ON THE EGYPTIANS. THE MAGICIANS COULD NOT STAND BEFORE MOSES BECAUSE OF THEIR BOILS7. GRIEVOUS THUNDER, HAIL AND FIRE MINGLED AS NEVER BEFORE SEEN. ALL THE TREES WERE BROKEN, FLAX AND BARLEY SMITTEN. ALL THOSE THAT FEARD THE LORD WERE TO GIVE THEIR ANIMALS SHELTER OR THEY WOULD DIE8. LOCUST COVERED THE FACE OF THE EARTH AND THEIR HOUSES9. A THICK DARKNESS COVERED THE EARTH FOR THREE DAYS AND NOBODY MOVED10. ALL THE FIRSTBORN OF MAN AND BEAST WERE KILLED BY THE ANGEL OF DEATH AS HE PASSED OVER THE LAND. ONLY THOSE HOMES THAT HAD THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB ON THE LINTEL OF THEIR DOORS WERE SPARED. EXODUS 10:1-2, “AND THE LORD SAID UNTO MOSES, GO IN UNTO PHARAOH: FOR I HAVE HARDENED HIS HEART, AND THE HEART OF HIS SERVANTS, THAT I MIGHT SHEW THESE MY SIGNS ((H226) OWTH, FROM (H225), (H226) SIGN, TOKEN, ENSIGN, MIRACLE, MARK, BANNER, REMEMBRANCE, MIRACULOUS SIGN, OMEN, WARNING, STANDARD, PROOF, FLAG, BEACON, MONUMENT, EVIDENCE (H225) TO CONSENT TO AGREE) BEFORE HIM: AND THAT THOU MAYEST TELL IN THE EARS OF THY SON, AND OF THY SON’S SON, WHAT THINGS I HAVE WROUGHT IN EGYPT, AND MY SIGNS WHICH I HAVE DONE AMONG THEM; THAT YE MAY KNOW HOW THAT I AM THE LORD.”
