Episode 2 – In the Beginning…, God!

(Or, why are you still listening to “The Voice of Egypt”.)

In this episode….

In the beginning, God! Three simple words that demolish every rival claim to ultimate reality. As we open Genesis, we step into a world saturated with gods of sun, river, and Nile — a world where Egypt’s pharaoh claimed divine status and creation myths swirled with chaos and violence. Into that world, Scripture speaks with breathtaking clarity: one God, sovereign and good, speaking light, life, and order into being by His word alone.

This episode walks through the six days of creation, uncovering how Genesis 1 functions as a deliberate polemic — a direct challenge to the gods of Egypt and the ancient Near East. We’ll see why the sun, moon, and stars are stripped of divinity and given humble jobs as “lights,” and why humanity, not Pharaoh, bears the image of God.

So why are you still listening to the voice of Egypt? Let’s find out together.
