Rhetoric Questions: (The Analysis of Ideas in the Text)
In the story Pharaoh is given the daughter of the Prince of Bekhten as a gift. (pg. 65) What should our response, as Christians, be to such a thing?
It is said of Pharaoh, upon meeting the princess of Bekhten, that “as he looked, he loved her”. (pg. 65) Is love at first sight valid? How should we think about this idea as Christians?
How important is physical beauty?
Theological Analysis: (Sola Scriptura)
The messenger from the Prince of Bekhten says “Baylon is famed for its wise men.” How does Daniel Ch. 1-2 interact with this idea?
The image of Khonsu has to be carried “for many months” from its origin to where the princess is. How does this story compare to Matthew 8:5-13?
The story says “the Prince of Bekhten fell on his knees…crying, ‘Glory be to Khonsu, Expeller of Demons, who has come to us!” Reflect upon Psalm 135:15-18. What is the irony in the Prince of Bekhten saying that Khonsu came to them?
Khonsu is dubbed “Expeller of Demons.” Read Deuteronomy 32:16-17 and 1 Corinthians 10:14-22. What is ironic about Khonsu’s epithet according to Scripture?
