Consider Moses! Armed with the rod of celestial dominion, adorned with the white hand of Divine knowledge, and proceeding from the Paran of the love of God, and wielding the serpent of power and everlasting majesty, He shone forth from the Sinai of light upon the world. He summoned all the peoples and kindreds of the earth to the kingdom of eternity, and invited them to partake 14 of the fruit of the tree of faithfulness. Surely you are aware of the fierce opposition of Pharaoh and his people, and of the stones of idle fancy which the hands of infidels cast upon that blessed Tree. So much so that Pharaoh and his people finally arose and exerted their utmost endeavor to extinguish with the waters of falsehood and denial the fire of that sacred Tree, oblivious of the truth that no earthly water can quench the flames of Divine wisdom, nor mortal blasts extinguish the lamp of everlasting dominion. Nay, rather, such water cannot but intensify the burning of the flame, and such blasts cannot but insure the preservation of the lamp, were ye to observe with the eye of discernment, and walk in the way of God's holy will and pleasure....

He enquired, ‘What is the matter with you?’ She replied, ‘What was the condition I saw you in?’ The Tongue of Grandeur uttered such words that caused her anxiety to vanish, and confirmed her in what she had seen. He spoke words such as these: ‘Know thou that the Almighty God is manifested in Me. I am the One whose advent the people of Islam have expected for over a thousand years. God has created Me for a great Cause, and you witnessed the divine revelation. Although I had not wished that you see Me in that state, yet God had so willed that there may not be any place in your heart for doubt and

    Throughout ancient Egyptian history, art and culture remained constant to support the idea of “order over chaos.” However, in the mid-14th century BCE a revolution occurred in Egyptian society, culture, and religion, consequently causing a brief transformation in Egyptian art. These changes can be detected in the Relief of Princess with an Earring. This sculpture was made in the 18th Dynasty (1353-1336 BCE), during the reign of Akhenaten. Although only a portion of the limestone relief is displayed in the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archeology, the sculpture still demonstrates the attributes that are found in art from Amarna Period.…

    Not only did ancient Egypt have a sufficient amount of food to supply for themselves, they also had such a surplus, that they could supply their neighbors with their grain. First and foremost, having a food surplus wasn’t the most common because usually civilizations only had what was necessary, instead of extra. Also, Egypt is in the middle of a desert, so them having a surplus in grains is far from what would be expected. Egypt is sometimes referred to as the “Breadbasket” of the ancient world because of this. Lake Victoria was in the middle of a rain forest, causing a lot of water in the Lake, which eventually flowed North to Egypt.…

    Historians and archeologists have found evidence of human civilization in the Nile Valley dating as far back as 120,000 years ago.

    Life in Egypt Today, Egypt’s high environmental, temperature, and migration levels are still the same as it was back in 1967 and even later than that. However, there are many other things that make this country what it is today. "For example, the expanded irrigation of desert areas after the completion of the Aswan High dam in 1970s; which has increased soil salinity and aided the spread of waterborne diseases”(Malefic, Asante; 2002 “Culture and Customs of Egypt. Westport, Conn: Greenwood Press”). But, what about the evolutionary lines for both the governmental and religious cultural history of this country; do they play a big role in this country?…

    Immense Presence of Energy In spite of that I still had a longing to comprehend the text’s meaning and persisted in my search; whereby, in due course, one day I decided to start from the very beginning, and read the entire manuscript again; however, this time reading verse by verse s-l-o-w-l-y; from Genesis to Malachi. Day after day, I notably prayed for divine wisdom and guidance to grasp the answers to my puzzling questions. Ultimately, a revelation finally transpired, as though a light came on; showing clarity of the scriptures that began to come alive with excitement. The verses in each book began to flow together and set in motion the prophet’s testimony of God’s glorious devotion that opened a new reality of a divine love of benevolence…

    Ancient civilization is full of many different stories and different ways of living. The ancient civilizations that we have studied such as Ancient Mesopotamia, ancient Eqypt, and ancient Greece are all very unique in their own ways but the greatest one in my opinion would be Ancient Egypt. I chose ancient Egypt for various reasons. The most obvious reasons would be that the Egyptians did not have to be sent off on their own at a young age to learn how to survive and learn how to go to war like the ancient Greeks. Another thing that the Egyptians did not have to do was live by the Hammurabi code like in ancient Mesopotamia.…
