What does it feel like to trust an invisible God when the visible gods seem to work?

For 400 years, the Hebrews lived under Egypt's theological shadow. The Nile flooded like clockwork. The harvests came. Egypt's gods had temples, priests, rituals—an entire infrastructure of divine power. And the Hebrews? They had stories. Promises passed down from Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph. A God with no image, no temple, no visible throne.

In Part 3 of our Egypt series, we explore Egypt's religious system—not as ancient mythology, but as the lived reality that shaped how the Bible's heroes understood faith and power.

In this episode, we explore:

• What Ma'at (cosmic order) meant—and why it made Egypt feel invincible
• How Pharaoh was literally considered a god whose existence held the cosmos together
• The Egyptian pantheon: Ra, Osiris, Isis, Horus—gods as political infrastructure
• Why the ten plagues were systematic theological warfare
• How each plague targeted a specific Egyptian god
• What it felt like to watch Egypt's gods proven powerless

The Exodus wasn't just about physical freedom. It was about theological liberation—freeing the Hebrews from a system that made Egypt's power feel inevitable.
