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.
