Now this is rather interesting.   
      
   Do you all remember how in the 1956 version of "The Ten Commandments"   
   Pharaoh Sethi ordered that all mention of Moses' name -- as well as his   
   image -- be removed from throughout the land of Egypt, after Ramses   
   conspired against Moses?   
      
   Well, consider the following.   
      
   According to an article in the April 21st edition of the New York Times   
   entitled "Egypt to End the Ubiquity of Mubarak", it seems that the Egyptian   
   court has decided to give former U.S.-supported tyrant and dictator, Hosni   
   Mubarak, the very same cold-shoulder treatment. The article notes in part:   
      
   "As part of the general mood here to expunge everything reminiscent of   
   former President Hosni Mubarak, an Egyptian court on Thursday ordered the   
   removal of his name and likeness from all public institutions.   
      
   Samir Sabry, the Egyptian lawyer who filed the lawsuit, argued that the   
   presence of Mr. Mubarak's name on buildings and streets at a time when the   
   former president and his family were widely seen as symbols of corruption   
   and tyranny was a provocation to national sentiment.   
      
   "Why should his name continue to be there?" Mr. Sabry said. "You put   
   people's names up to honor them. Now what are we honoring him for?"   
      
   The court seemed to agree. Now, the names, photographs and pictures of Mr.   
   Mubarak and his wife, Suzanne, will be removed "from all squares, streets,   
   schools, associations, libraries and all entities in Egypt." In his ruling,   
   Judge Muhammad Hassan Omar reasoned that their presence resulted in   
   "tremendous harm and continuous suffering" to the families of those who died   
   in the three weeks of protests that led to Mr. Mubarak's resignation."   
      
   The obvious question in my mind is this: Is this just another ruse by the   
   military to make it appear as if things have changed on the outside in   
   Egypt, while the corrupt, rotten core remains exactly the same? What do you   
   think?   
      
   I am reminded of what Jesus said in Matthew chapter twenty-three concerning   
   the Scribes and the Pharisees. He stated:   
      
   "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the   
   outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion   
   and excess. Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup   
   and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also. Woe unto you,   
   scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres,   
   which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's   
   bones, and of all uncleanness. Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous   
   unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity."   
   Matthew 23:25-28, KJV   
      
   The moral of the story is that corrupt people rarely ever change their ways.
