Egyptologists tell us that there were approximately 80 major gods worshiped by the Egyptians. There were gods of the river, gods of the land and gods of the sun. We might be tempted to write off Egyptian polytheism as the superstitions of an unenlightened culture. However, to do so would be to ignore a primary truth from the Bible. The evidence for the true God Yahweh or Jehovah has been revealed since creation.
Modern man is polytheistic too.
We worship many false gods. A false god, an idol is anything that controls our lives . The true power behind the false gods of Egypt and the power behind man's idols today is satanic. The story of the exodus is not so much the struggle between Moses and Pharaoh or between the Hebrews and the Egyptians. Rather it is an account of God's victory over the false gods of Egypt and the satanic forces behind them.
