2006-07-20: Pharaoh Killing Hebrew Male Babies as Moses Born

July 20, 2006, is the first date in the grand series of modern dates that derive from the timeline of the Exodus Plagues. This is the first such date in a series of dates. In part this date sets the tone that is likely to be seen as further dates in this series unfold.

There have been previous series of prophetic dates, including for example the First Persian Gulf War, but none have been as strong as this, none have involved a specific individual as this series is clearly involving the new UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.

The specific timing, and associated scripture are near the bottom of this article.

Part 1: War in Israel

The basic prophetic fulfillment follows the story of Pharaoh attempting to kill the male Hebrew babies. Of course the fulfillment was war in Israel. This war broke out about 8 days ahead of theoretical, with the kidnapping and likely assassination of 2 Israeli soldiers. Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev are still considered missing, and there is some chance they will be recovered, though there was several other soldiers killed and an Israeli IDF report that said they had been wounded in the abduction. The prophetic story, of dead male Hebrew babies, suggests they are dead.

The exact prophetic story requires Pharaoh killing male Hebrew babies across the prophetic date, so this war broke out in very close relation, but before, the exact theoretical time. This is as expected.

The associated text uses the unusual and distinct term Hebrew babies instead of the more expected term Israelite babies. This choice of terms is important as Hebrew applies specifically to the modern nation of Israel and to the Jews spread around the world. The other possible biblical terms have broader application and terms like Israelite include adopted sons of Abraham through the New Covenant. This specialized term Hebrew excludes these cases.

Part II: Israel Enters Lebanon

The term Hebrew means specifically those who cross over and is a reference in history to Abraham's family's crossing over from Ur to Canaan when Abraham first arrived in the promised land. On July 19, 2006, the Israeli army began massing on the Lebanon border and then on July 22, 2006, there were reports that the Israeli army had crossed over into south Lebanon. This action is not precisely timed based on the normal fog of war but the action matches the associated Bible story quite well.

Of course the war would be over by August 13, 2006, and full recall of Israeli troops from Lebanon would not be reported until into December of 2006. This war was just long enough to span across the prophetic story. The war eventually caused the displacement of an estimated 1,000,000 Lebanese and between 300,000 and 500,000 Israelis. This displacement also plays to the crossing over theme of that special word Hebrew. Final military death tolls were reported on August 23, 2006, as 119 Israeli soldiers killed.

There is a detailed war timeline on Wikipedia.

Question: Was there a Pharaoh's agent in this war?

Olmert is widely considered to have been the single instigator of this war. The Hezbollah had been pestering the Israeli army in various ways for years, and this was a disproportionate response. Eventually an analysis of the war would argue that this war was extremely badly handled, which of course serves the interests of someone deliberately trying to kill Hebrew babies. Many have suspected Olmert to be a New World Order insider and other prophetic stories suggest he took the job by secretly poisoning ----. All of this suggests Olmert is Pharaoh's agent on the scene, killing Hebrew male babies.

Part III: Ban Ki-moon's Election at the United Nations

Moses was born during the time when Pharaoh was killing the Hebrew babies. Of course the war going on in Israel was killing that set the context. This was where the world was watching, but at the United Nations a straw poll was being conducted in order to determine who would replace Kofi Anan as the new United Nations General Secretary.

On July 24, 2006, a Monday, 4 days after the theoretical prophetic date, there was the first straw poll for the selection of Ban Ki-moon as the new Secretary General of the United Nations.

Ban Ki-moon shows up on nearly all prophetic dates from the Exodus Plagues series. He is the leader of the people, all the people, in the whole world. He will eventually turn his office over to Joshua.

2 Exodus 1:1-22 1Now these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt; every man and his household came with Jacob. 2Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah, 3Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin, 4Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher. 5And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls: for Joseph was in Egypt already. 6And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.

7And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them. 8Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph. 9And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we: 10Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land. 11Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses. 12But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel. 13And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigour: 14And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in morter, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their service, wherein they made them serve, was with rigour.

15And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah: 16And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the stools; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him: but if it be a daughter, then she shall live. 17But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive. 18And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said unto them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the men children alive? 19And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwives come in unto them. 20Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty. 21And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses. 22And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive.(KJV)

15And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the 1 was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah: 16And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the stools; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him: but if it be a daughter, then she shall live. 17But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive. 18And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said unto them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the men children alive? 19And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwives come in unto them. 20Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty. 21And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses. 22And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive.(KJV/NC)

8Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who knew not Joseph. 9And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we: 10come, let us deal wisely with them, lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they also join themselves unto our enemies, and fight against us, and get them up out of the land. 11Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh store-cities, Pithom and Raamses. 12But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and the more they spread abroad. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel. 13And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigor: 14and they made their lives bitter with hard service, in mortar and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field, all their service, wherein they made them serve with rigor.

15And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of whom the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah: 16and he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the birth-stool; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him; but if it be a daughter, then she shall live. 17But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men-children alive. 18And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said unto them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the men-children alive? 19And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwife come unto them. 20And God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty. 21And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them households. 22And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive.(ASV)

2 Exodus 1:1-22 1THESE are the names of the children of Israel, who came into Egypt; every man and his household came with Jacob: 2Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah, 3Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin, 4Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher. 5And all the persons that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy persons; for Joseph was in Egypt already. 6And Joseph died, and all his brothers, and all that generation. 7And the children of Israel were fruitful and increased abundantly, and multiplied and grew exceedingly strong; and the land was filled with them.

8¶ Now there rose up a new king over Egypt who knew not Joseph. 9And he said to his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more numerous and stronger than we; 10Come, let us deal wisely with them, before they multiply, lest when we chance to be at war, they will be added also to our enemies, and fight against us, and so drive us out of the land. 11Therefore they appointed over them cruel taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh cities with storehouses, Pithom and Raamses. 12But the more they oppressed them, the more they multiplied and became strong. And the Egyptians were grieved because of the children of Israel. 13So the Egyptians oppressed the children of Israel severely; 14And they made their lives bitter with hard labor, in mortar and in bricks and in all manner of work in the field; all their service wherein they made them serve was with rigor.

15¶ And the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives, of whom the name of the one was Puah and the name of the other Shoprah; 16And he said to them, When you do perform your duties as midwives to the Hebrew women, look out when they kneel to deliver; if it is a male, then you must kill him; but if it is a female, then let her live. 17But the midwives feared God, and did not do as the king of Egypt commanded them, but let the boys live. 18So the king of Egypt called for the midwives and said to them, Why have you done this thing, and let the boys live? 19And the midwives said to Pharaoh, The Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women; for they themselves are midwives, and are delivered before a midwife comes in to them. 20Therefore God dealt well with the midwives, because they spared the males; and the people multiplied, and grew exceedingly strong. 21And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, he blessed them with families. 22And Pharaoh charged all the people, saying, Every son that is born you shall cast into the river, and every daughter you shall save alive.

2 Exodus 1:1-22 1These are the names of the sons of Israel who came to Egypt with Jacob, each with his household: 2Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah, 3Is'sachar, Zeb'ulun, and Benjamin, 4Dan and Naph'tali, Gad and Asher. 5All the offspring of Jacob were seventy persons; Joseph was already in Egypt. 6Then Joseph died, and all his brothers, and all that generation. 7But the descendants of Israel were fruitful and increased greatly; they multiplied and grew exceedingly strong; so that the land was filled with them.

8Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who did not know Joseph. 9And he said to his people, "Behold, the people of Israel are too many and too mighty for us. 10Come, let us deal shrewdly with them, lest they multiply, and, if war befall us, they join our enemies and fight against us and escape from the land." 11Therefore they set taskmasters over them to afflict them with heavy burdens; and they built for Pharaoh store-cities, Pithom and Ra-am'ses. 12But the more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied and the more they spread abroad. And the Egyptians were in dread of the people of Israel. 13So they made the people of Israel serve with rigor, 14and made their lives bitter with hard service, in mortar and brick, and in all kinds of work in the field; in all their work they made them serve with rigor.

15Then the king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives, one of whom was named Shiph'rah and the other Pu'ah, 16"When you serve as midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the birthstool, if it is a son, you shall kill him; but if it is a daughter, she shall live." 17But the midwives feared God, and did not do as the king of Egypt commanded them, but let the male children live. 18So the king of Egypt called the midwives, and said to them, "Why have you done this, and let the male children live?" 19The midwives said to Pharaoh, "Because the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women; for they are vigorous and are delivered before the midwife comes to them." 20So God dealt well with the midwives; and the people multiplied and grew very strong. 21And because the midwives feared God he gave them families. 22Then Pharaoh commanded all his people, "Every son that is born to the Hebrews you shall cast into the Nile, but you shall let every daughter live."(RSV)

2 Exodus 1:1-22 1These are the names of the sons of Israel who went to Egypt with Jacob, each with his family: 2Reuben, Simeon, Levi and Judah; 3Issachar, Zebulun and Benjamin; 4Dan and Naphtali; Gad and Asher. 5The descendants of Jacob numbered seventy in all; Joseph was already in Egypt.

6Now Joseph and all his brothers and all that generation died, 7but the Israelites were fruitful and multiplied greatly and became exceedingly numerous, so that the land was filled with them.

8Then a new king, who did not know about Joseph, came to power in Egypt. 9"Look," he said to his people, "the Israelites have become much too numerous for us. 10Come, we must deal shrewdly with them or they will become even more numerous and, if war breaks out, will join our enemies, fight against us and leave the country."

11So they put slave masters over them to oppress them with forced labor, and they built Pithom and Rameses as store cities for Pharaoh. 12But the more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied and spread; so the Egyptians came to dread the Israelites 13and worked them ruthlessly. 14They made their lives bitter with hard labor in brick and mortar and with all kinds of work in the fields; in all their hard labor the Egyptians used them ruthlessly.

15The king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives, whose names were Shiphrah and Puah, 16"When you help the Hebrew women in childbirth and observe them on the delivery stool, if it is a boy, kill him; but if it is a girl, let her live." 17The midwives, however, feared God and did not do what the king of Egypt had told them to do; they let the boys live. 18Then the king of Egypt summoned the midwives and asked them, "Why have you done this? Why have you let the boys live?"

19The midwives answered Pharaoh, "Hebrew women are not like Egyptian women; they are vigorous and give birth before the midwives arrive."

20So God was kind to the midwives and the people increased and became even more numerous. 21And because the midwives feared God, he gave them families of their own.

22Then Pharaoh gave this order to all his people: "Every boy that is born you must throw into the Nile, but let every girl live."(NIV)

2 Exodus 1:1-22 1Now these are the names of the sons of Israel, who came into Egypt (every man and his household came with Jacob): 2Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah, 3Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin, 4Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher. 5All the souls who came out of the Jacob's body were seventy souls, and Joseph was in Egypt already. 6Joseph died, as did all his brothers, and all that generation. 7The children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and grew exceedingly mighty; and the land was filled with them.

8Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who didn't know Joseph. 9He said to his people, 'Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we. 10Come, let us deal wisely with them, lest they multiply, and it happen that when any war breaks out, they also join themselves to our enemies, and fight against us, and escape out of the land.' 11Therefore they set taskmasters over them to afflict them with their burdens. They built storage cities for Pharaoh: Pithom and Raamses. 12But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and the more they spread out. They were grieved because of the children of Israel. 13The Egyptians ruthlessly made the children of Israel serve, 14and they made their lives bitter with hard service, in mortar and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field, all their service, in which they ruthlessly made them serve.

15The king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives, of whom the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah, 16and he said, 'When youP perform the duty of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them on the birth stool; if it is a son, then youP shall kill him; but if it is a daughter, then she shall live.' 17But the midwives feared God, and didn't do what the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the baby boys alive. 18The king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said to them, 'Why have youP done this thing, and have saved the men-children alive?'

19The midwives said to Pharaoh, 'Because the Hebrew women aren't like the Egyptian women; for they are vigorous, and give birth before the midwife comes to them.'

20God dealt well with the midwives, and the people multiplied, and grew very mighty. 21It happened, because the midwives feared God, that he gave them families. 22Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, 'YouP shall cast every son who is born into the river, and every daughter youP shall save alive.'(WEB)

15And the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives, of whom the name of the one was Puah and the name of the other Shoprah; 16And he said to them, When you do perform your duties as midwives to the Hebrew women, look out when they kneel to deliver; if it is a male, then you must kill him; but if it is a female, then let her live. 17But the midwives feared God, and did not do as the king of Egypt commanded them, but let the boys live. 18So the king of Egypt called for the midwives and said to them, Why have you done this thing, and let the boys live? 19And the midwives said to Pharaoh, The Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women; for they themselves are midwives, and are delivered before a midwife comes to them. 20Therefore, God dealt well with the midwives, because they spared the males; and the people multiplied, and grew exceedingly strong. 21And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, he blessed them with families. 22And Pharaoh charged all the people, saying, Every son that is born you will cast into the river, and every daughter you will save alive.
