Good Review Of Biblical Events, Aoû 14 2002
If life was anywhere near as dreary and depressing back then as this movie depicts people really didn't have much to live for. Their main goal in life was getting enough food and water for themselves and their livestock. People at that time weren't much more than cave men or basically animals themselves. Throughout the movie Abraham looks like he hasn't washed his hair in weeks and he appears to be constantly dying of thirst. He looks to be about 200 years old when the movie starts so I don't know how old he's supposed to be at the end.The only humorous event in the entire movie was when God tells Sarah she will have a child when she was about 90 years old. She laughed which is what the name 'Isaac' means. Abraham believed in a single God while other around him believed in many gods. This has been a source of conflict from the beginning and caused the eventual destruction of Atlantis. A very frightening event in Abe's life was when Sarah was kidnapped to become a sexual slave of the evil Egyptian pharoah. It's impossible to know what a person like this would have been capable of doing to a female who refused to submit to their will. (Barbara was in that nice movie called 'The Entity'.) God sent a fever on the entire Egyptian population so that the evil pharoah would return Sarah and let the Hebrews go away. God sending diseases and death on people is nothing to fool around with.
There are many similarities between the lives of Abraham and Moses. Both had problems with the Egyptians who represent the belief in many gods which included injustice and oppression of others. The Egyptians at that time represented the mysterious occult world. The pharoahs claimed to be reincarnations of gods. Abraham and Moses were reincarnations of God also in a way. That may be why the voice of God in this movie sounds similar to Abraham's own voice. Like Moses Abraham talked to God in a direct way. In a movie like this it's necessary to try to read between the lines about what really happened since it's based on the bible which has gone through many translations and undoubtedly contains errors about specific details. It's difficult to even put the events in Abe's life into perspective compared to modern society. He didn't have any kids so his wife tells him to have a child with the slave girl that came with them from Egypt. This was an apparent mistake on Abe's part since God did eventually give him and Sarah a child. This serves as some type of lesson I think in that even though a mistake was made things worked out ok. According to the closing remarks in the movie both of Abe's sons were present when he was buried. Abraham undoubtedly loved Sarah intensely since they stayed together for their entire lives even though they didn't have any children which was probably a major stigma back then. Movies like this are a good review of the bible in case you don't want to go back and read the bible again as I didn't but you want to review the information. According to some other reviewers this movie stays pretty close to the scriptures. God must have known people would make a movie about Abraham because there are quite a few important events in his life which gives the movie producers a lot of info to work with.
