I don’t even know if I typed the title
correct or not for this pathetic a** movie (sorry Christians & Christian
Baile). Then again, the writers didn’t seem to care on how they reenacted this
Biblical story. I don’t recall who told me that this was a good movie (actually
I do, but I am not that heartless as to throw them under the bus), but I think
that person was on crack or something (joking…but not joking.) This movie was
an epic fail, but good job producers on giving me & my company a good
laugh. One star on getting us to dive back into the Holy Scriptures to see what
it actually said! Like companion stated, “The same people who made this film
must have made Noah’s Ark because they both sucked butt.” (*not her actually
words, but yeah) What is wrong with you movie people?! Are you trying to be so
much like 9 News (or for that fact, any news station) & distorting
everything you read/say so you get good ratings?! What happened to reporting
the Truth? Isn’t that what they teach you in ELEMENTARY school?!
So what were the problems with this two
& half hours of wasted life time?
1)
There
was not a killing of Hebrew babies that sent Moses into a basket sailing on the
river (sorry cartoon version Prince of Peace, you got that wrong too.)
Scripture states: “The woman (Moses’s mother) came pregnant and gave birth to a
son; when she saw that he was beautiful
(other versions say heathy or special), she hid him for three months.”-Ex. 2:2.
The next verse continues in stating that when she could not hide him any
longer, she sent him down the Nile. What about him was “beautiful”? Did she
simply not want her baby to lose such value & become enslaved like the rest
of the Israelites? We do not know all the answers. *side note the name “Moses”
was given to him once he was drawn out of the water & from the Pharaoh’s
daughter. We do not know his birth name.
2)
The
movie portrays Moses as being out-casted & shunned for being a Hebrew, when
in fact both the Pharaoh’s daughter & Moses knew about his origins (Ex. 2:6
&11). What REALLY happened was that
Moses killed an Egyptian who was beating a Hebrew, the Pharaoh was pissed &
tried to kill Moses & thus, Moses got his butt out of there!
3)
In the
film, when Moses is introduced to Reul he is very vague on who is & where
he came from. When in fact the daughters he “rescued at the well (verses 17)
knew he was an Egyptian.
4)
Good
job producers, Moses did have a son. Most churches do not make a note of
this…well at least they didn’t when I was growing up. Moses’s son’s name was,
Gershom (verse 22).
5)
The
producers took a lot of liberty in the angel that appeared to Moses. Actually
that whole scene on the mountain top was F***ed up. Sorry…it was. It made it
seem like Moses’s was hallucinating due to being knocked in the head. None of
that avalanche/storm crap happened. Don’t make the Word of God crazier than it
already is ok! The angel or God or whatever being a child was different. I’m
still debating if I like that or not. Wait no I just decided, I don’t! I get
that perhaps the film makers where trying to pull upon Jesus’s words of “the
kingdom of God belongs to the least of these” meaning the children & such,
but really…that child had a mouth. Not saying God doesn’t get snippy with us at
times…but really? The movie completely skipped the WHOLE dialogue between Moses
& God.
6)
One
question: where was Moses’s staff throughout this movie? Did they simply forget
that he was a shepherd while living with the Land of Midian?
7)
If
people would read the Word of God, they would know that Zipporah (Moses’s wife)
& their son went to Egypt with him.
8)
Aaron
& Moses did not have this little feud going on that we like to have
thought. In fact, Aaron did most of the speaking unlike this “General Moses.”
9)
The first
plague: water turned into blood. This was not accomplished through
alligators/crocodiles eating so many people that the blood filled all the
waters. No, believe it or not this was a MIRACLEL! It was accomplished through
God’s mighty power in Aaron’s staff.
10) Moses’s makes a miniature speech on how
the lamb will be honored from this day of Passover & on-ward if what he
predicted in the last plague will came true. The focus point was not the lamb,
but the blood. Without the spilling of pure blood there would be no
forgiveness. Read Leviticus. This was all preparing the way for Jesus, our
ultimate sacrifice.
11) The movie had a good concept of Moses
giving up his pride & finally surrendering to God that was the possible
reason for the Red Sea drying up. But guess what? This too was incorrect. Moses
didn’t suffer with pride issues (no that wasn’t until the part with the water
from the rock later on in Exodus.) In fact, he struggled with the exact
opposite! Also, the water did not dry up, it parted (Exodus 14: 21-22).
12) “When He (God) finished speaking with
Moses on Mount Sanai, He gave him the two tablets of the testimony, stone
tablets inscribed by the finger of God.”-Ex. 31: 18. None of
this Moses’s drinking tea with a child who is supposed to be God crap.
And that ladies and gents is what really
happened. Why are these things important?- because it is history declaring
God’s deliverance. If God could do this for the tribe of Israel (as the movie
made the distinction of : the people who wrestle
with God, not fight…and yet, in the movie they fought the Egyptian leaders with
fire bombs…again, not accurate)…if He could did this in the past, who is to say
He cannot do it today & for us who may be in bandage?
These details are not a matter of life and death;
yet, they are still important to know. Thank you for your time!
