Amun

I once posted about the Egyptian God of all gods, briefly. I continue to see our Lord Father in other cultures - as everyone at one time knew him. This week I was reading an article in the National Geopraphic on the Black Pharaohs. Besides being an interesting read, it spoke of the Nubian pharaohs who ruled Egypt at the time of the Assyrian invasion of Israel and how they were the ones that God used to scare the Assyrians away and to save Jerusalem.

These Nubian princes were worshippers of the original Father of the gods in Egypt - Amun/Amen. These princes still worshipped Amun even after Egypt proper had abandoned him in favor of the newer gods. Before invading, Piye had his entire army practice the rights proscribed for the followers of Amun and went and concerned all of the powers of Egypt.

I still see how Amun is YHWH, through his actions and purpose. And the ultimate purpose being that these princes are the ones that then protected Israel under King Hezekiah to give them another chance before their exile in 586 BC.

Anyway, take a gander at the National Geophraphic article; it's pretty cool.
