To name many of these gods would be to weary the reader. But we cannot
refrain from naming Meskhemit, who was the goddess of birth. She was
also the companion of Hathor, and overshadowed the first-born of the
land. To what avail, when _all_ died who were under her divine
protection! And even stronger than she, was the mighty Min, the god of
virility and generation. Closely related to Amon-Ra, being the means of
extending the power of Ra to those who worshipped him, he too, fell with
a resounding crash, when the hand of The-Only-God-That-There-Is swept
all the idols of Egypt off their pedestals, in what might be called the
greatest “ten rounds” ever fought! Not only did _Jehovah_ win the battle
and the crown, He also won every round! The victory was complete and
crushing.

Many centuries later, Paul the Apostle recalled all that is implied and
stated here, when he wrote the ninth chapter of Romans and the
seventeenth verse. Here it is stated that God dealt so with Pharaoh,
that the name of God should be advertised throughout all the earth.
Is it so advertised?
Witness this article, cited above! Thirty-five hundred years have come
and gone since these things transpired, but the mind of man has not been
able to escape from the demonstration of God’s power that He gave in
that far-off day. And all we can say about this latest attempt to
explain the victory of God in the land of Egypt by attributing it all to
the smartness and genius of a learned man, is, it just will not stand
up! For the God who smashed the pantheon of Egypt evidently knew that
this attempt was due, and He raised from the dead, in an archeological
resurrection, the witnesses to the facts at issue. And we have done
nothing in this simple reply but review _their_ evidence! But in so
doing, we note again that modern science, whenever her voice may be
heard, establishes the Scripture and vindicates its claim, that “holy
men of old spake as they were moved by the spirit of God.”
