Moses - Man or Myth? - Deliverance From Egypt

True, no Egyptian record of this event has been found.  But the Egyptians were not above altering historical records when the truth proved to be embarrassing or went against their  political interests.  When Thutmose III came into power, he tried to obliterate the memory of his predecessor, Hatshepsut.  Says Egyptologists John Ray;  "Her inscriptions   were erased, her obelisks surrounded by a wall, and her monuments forgotten. Her name does not appear in later annas."  Similar attempts  to alter or conceal  embarrassing facts have even taken place in modern times.  

 As for the lack of archaeological evidence for the wilderness sojourn, we must remember that the Jews were nomads. They built no cities; they planted no crops. Presumably, they left behind little more than footprints.  Sill, convincing evidence of that sojourn  can be found within the Bible itself.  Reference is made to it throughout that sacred book  (1 Samuel 4:8; Psalm 78; Psalm 95; Psalm 106; 1 Corinthians 10:1-5)  Significantly, Jesus Christ also testified that the wilderness events took place. - JOHN 3:14. 

Unquestionably, then, the Bible's account of Moses is credible, truthful .  Even so, he lived a long time ago. What impact can Moses have on your life today?
