Autor: Voegelin, Eric Buch: Israel and Revelation Titel: Israel and Revelation Stichwort: Ägypten; messianische Hoffnung Kurzinhalt: From the depth of the misery will then arise the hope for a messianic ruler who by his personal qualities will bring happier days Textausschnitt: The pointed question makes the Pharaoh responsible for the disorder; when men misbehave, they still execute the will of the ruler. The character of the individual Pharaoh, thus, becomes the condition of domestic peace. From the depth of the misery will then arise the hope for a messianic ruler who by his personal qualities will bring happier days, as we find it expressed in the "Prophecies of Neferrohu," from the beginning of the reign of Amenemhet I (2000-1970 B.C.)
