We were doing our sacrifices to our gods.
And he shut all that down.
And he had tons of cattle and sheep.
And now we don't even like that.
And we don't even eat with these people anymore.
And I think that ties the, that's the kind of the connective tissue as to why you have this historical animosity towards Israelites and towards shepherds in Egypt.
Genesis in Joseph's time.
Yeah, absolutely.
And clearly, you know, there was something significant spiritually.
Egypt, like I said, is a spiritual battleground.
And remember, Satan already knew.
He'd already tried Job because he knew there was a hedge around Job when he spoke to God.
So clearly he had tried him.
Like, oh, I can't get to him yet because God is supernaturally protecting him.
So I think, yeah, he definitely would be a high value target
for the devil because he was on this, you know, he had all this power that God had given him and he was using it for God's glory.
So I think that could definitely have played a role.
And then clearly there was unfinished business because even by the time we get to Moses, God specifically says, I'm judging the gods of Egypt, right?
It's not just Pharaoh who's being judged in excess, it's their gods.
So something was set up there from a spirit, from the enemy standpoint, where Satan was establishing something there.
