I am here, Moses.
I want in this message to describe my relationship with
Pharaoh, the man I once called brother.
You have been very affected by, and in love with, the
animated feature The Prince of Egypt. You feel it is the
very first time that anyone explored this relationship.
Well, just as the film shows, it was very complex and
difficult. Having been raised together, we knew each other
intimately. We played together as children, and as we
become adults, we shared our "coming of age."
Though I was pampered as royalty, I never lost a sense of
personal virtue and integrity, and I was loved for this,
particularly by Pharaoh the father. He saw these qualities
and was moved to look on me as his own son.
His son possessed the arrogance of power. For him, nothing
could stand in the way of attaining his desire. And this
desire was for empire.
Now Pharaoh and I shared our formative years together, and
so the bond established between us was never broken, and
we both suffered immensely by the circumstances that
divided us. That is why he never sought to harm me
physically even though I was asking the impossible of him.
You have always wondered why I was never struck down by
him. Well, now you have the answer.
It is true that in his rage to destroy the Hebrews after
their escape, this bond was obscured. But it never left
him. I have spoken to him in the spirit world, and this is
what he has told me. He said that he wished to place his
empire over any concern or feeling he had for me
personally. He made that separation because he felt that
was his duty to do so. But it hurt him to hurt me, and the
divide between us was painful precisely because we were so
close.
Of course, he could not understand my position. For him, a
slave was a slave and nothing more. That was the
prevailing attitude of the ancient world. That is why I
realized, even at the time, how radical my idea of their
freedom really was.
The success of my efforts confirmed my faith and defeated
the most powerful man in the world. It also set the stage
for every struggle for freedom, and paved the way for your
own country, the United States, to adopt freedom as a form
of government.
