Sinopse

From Exodus 7: My imagination takes me to Pharaoh?s throne-room where his courtiers are pacing around and muttering, ''That Moses needs to go down! Those Hebrews need to be punished again!'' Only a small percentage of the Egyptian population grumbled against Moses, most of them were friendly with their Hebrew counterparts, and willingly shared their silver and gold with them as parting gifts. (My goodness, prosperity in a time when the world is falling apart ? imagine that!) Shows how out-of-touch with the grassroots that politicians can be. Then there?s this ''Tweet'' that Moses sends to Pharaoh as a parting shot: ''All these your servants will come down to me and bow themselves before me, saying ?Go out, you and all the people who follow you,? and after that, I will go out.'' And he went out from Pharaoh in hot anger'' (Exodus 11:8). Sounds familiar? I guess people haven?t changed that much in 5,000 years.
