A Passover of Lies

The Passover is a Jewish holiday that is observed for eight days straight during the beginning of spring. This time is often called by the torah as Nissan. To the Jews and Christians a like, this festive time represents freedom and deliverance.

During this Passover, The first and last day no work is to be done and Jews refrain from eating leavened bread during this eight day period.

However, the history that caused the focus of this eight day celebration to shift took place around 1450 BC. Supposedly, The Israelites somehow landed in slavery among the Egyptians. The Israelites were treated poorly by the Egyptians. They were also oppressed, neglected, abused, and starved. According to legend, the Egyptians discovered that the Hebrew nation was over populating and so the Pharaoh had to take control before the Hebrews became powerful enough to take over. The bible states that through one man facing the Pharaoh, these Israelite slaves were set free.

The truth is that there have never been any records of slaves in Egypt. The Egyptians were very careful with their record taking. The Pharaoh himself would often have his own stories inscribed on the palace walls. Still, somehow this myth of the Israelites being treated poorly and enslaved by the Egyptians has survived in spite of the lack of proof. The Pharaoh most certainly could not have "missed" recording such a spectacular event.

On January 10, 2010 a new truth was unraveled like a present on Christmas morning. Near Cairo, there was a worker's tomb that was unearthed. The grave revealed a worker who was well taken cared of and given items that were important for the afterlife. If this Hebrew man really was a slave, why would Egyptians go through such an effort to bury him with anything for the afterlife?

The burial certainly was not from a Jew, because Jews do not have a belief in needing objects in the afterlife. Therefore, logics tell us this was an Egyptian burial. The way this worker was buried clearly tells us that the Hebrew's were not treated as poorly as the Bible says they were. Historically speaking, during those times there was a country and then states that belonged to countries, according to Professor Rick Frieidman. The land of Canaan where the Israelites were originally from was a state to the Egyptians. That is the only way that the biblical statement" Israel were slaves to Egypt" could be true. But as far as oppression, there was no such thing.

Due to this misrepresentation and judgment upon an innocent country, I find the Passover to be a representation of lies. To me, the Passover is a reminder of the many immoral issues that have been presented in the bible. I could see a Passover for the holocaust because that was real and there is historical record. The next time someone decides to put a book together and call it truth they should really consider doing some historical research and make sure it's the "God's" honest truth.
